(calling names) >> good afternoon commissioner

i'm john i'm here to ask you to regret the error commission. we have here to be given to you our legal counsels letter and our own mitigation passage it is necessary to be sufficient. everybody in city hall say that pedestrian safety and senior safety is their top priority. however, we only get the words not the action. starting in 1980 with the city at a redevelopment agency a number of crosswalks and

actually in the last 15 years it's going backwards. you will see two pictures of sidewalks they were cut in half and the metro allowed their sidewalks to be supplied with tables and chairs that cut the sidewalk. a cumulative impact of pedestrian safety and capacity has not been done not for the errors but it should have been done and it has to be define now. we're asking you to turn this eir down at this time so it

cabaret edited and so this can be made part of your action on this project. and most of all this need to have a new installation of the crosswalk and it's been planned for 20 years by never got built. several of our seniors are here today to tell you about that >> we intend from now on to pursue our alternatives to the law. >> next speaker please and hi i'm diane.

i'm a member of the community over by river. all the streets, the sidewalks are all narrow with all those signs that people put out attorneys their restaurants takes away from the walking and also when they have those big quencherss the people congregate in the middle of the sidewalk and even wheel chairs can't pass. i'm here as a senior we need protection for crossing the street and for sidewalk safety. that's all >> next speaker please and good

afternoon commissioners. i'm alisha duke. i've been involved in the community long before i even moved to san francisco and i've now been a resident for 26 years. the issues in our area and going up to market street, you know, and down to folsom are unique in that we have so many new construction going on and this, of course, represents a hazard for automobiles and people trying to get across the street they're on one side of the street and all of a sudden

there's a sign saying you can't cross and if you're in a wheelchair you can't cross. the bicyclists are going insane with not responding to what are the rules of the road for bicycles and a ticket can be given to a bicyclist riding their bicycle on the sidewalk and they ride at speed they don't ride at 5, you know, inches an hour. and we've had people get hit but he bicyclists on the sidewalk and severely injured because bicyclists keep going. and you know really suffer severe injuries. i'd like to have the error for

the mission changed so that they took into consideration all the bicycles on the sidewalk as well as the pedestrian crossing to make sure whether they're going to put a pedestrian crossing they've got ramps for awhile chair individuals and it would be helpful if the people doing the new contradiction take into account all of the things as opposed to just, you know, we've got this and the building is going to be good and it's a benefit to the community it won't be if you forget us >> thank you. >> good afternoon president and
