fan. and city of san francisco is predicated on transportation. it's no one is arguing otherwise but you wouldn't know it if you look at what's being proposed here. until mass transit reaches the level of new york we can't attempt to regulate parking as proposed. to do so will strangle the businesses it's very expensive to pay for these parking tickets. installing meters on a block eliminates 15 to 20 percent of the parking on a block.

okay. so n installing parking meters is not going to help any that parking for any residents in the city no one is mentioning that. 15 to 20 percent of the spots are eliminated when you put parking meters on a block. okay. very, very important point. okay. so parking permits as they exist right now are very effective their improvement is velgd ask anyone in the admission. so the idea that meters are going to change anything is a farce. what mr. reiskin introduced

>> over we have a lot of speakers we have to get through one or two more senses to walk up. >> parking enforcement we don't need pain and suffering there are rv drivers who are parking and violating because of those conditions. >> okay. thank you, thank you very much. i have a number of cards i know that people are starting to line up on their own but i'll call them. (calling names) >> i have lived at my home in the mission - okay. >> can you start the clock

again, please. can we get the microphone pulled close >> on the other hand, they claim that parking has no impact because fewer people drive. that's an environmental -- on the other hand, mta adds parking meters expands payment hours and increases finances all the in name of the demand because they say their is a shortage of parking and on the 3rd hand mta says all those changes are good for us although people in san francisco are kids.

expanding parker meters in mixed neighborhood would change the character of our neighborhoods for worse. for over half a century people have changed their work on parking issues. it will have disproportionate problems with the parking in san francisco. and we are among other things ankle and disability and income and occupation. to learn more than that about how to mta parking policies will harm the situation go to www dot

- at least regarding from the sonic were not done overnight and apparently only done on one day. i would encourage you to ask him the hours he duration of the parking studies done >> thank you. thank you very much. next speaker please. >> i've lived in my home on hill street for 33 years. in that time three-quarters of the transportation has been eliminated in my neighborhood i was prized to hear that transportation was a policy. in 2009 the eastern policy was eliminate. and immediately they eliminated a one hundred percent of the transportation on van less than

street. thousands of apartments are being there and no transit has been added to serve those people increase in addition parking in all those new buildings is being severely limited if not complete eliminated. it should be the business of the sfmta to enhance public transit they shouldn't be making in many cases more cases that are punishing. there should be a moratorium on more meters. >> again, if we can hold our applause. >> thank you for holding this hearing. i dead on coming but i was thinking about something shakespeare's said what is past

is prologue. i'm hoping the same mistakes on sunday meter parking are not going to be made on expensive parking. so of the assumptions first and for most this hearing is a great start because the faith community was not included at the stakeholders contagious and your shining a light and giving everybody a right to speak >> the second assumes was the revenues collected were going to be over $2 million and that's been realized over 1 million. and supervisor farrells district the meters are there and your districts supervisor campus the

old meters are there. we were giving every assurance that all meters would be uniformed and that was january 6th all the meters to this day are not alike. i could go on and on but please give important consideration before you allow this to go forward >> i'm going to go mediate my meter. >> thank you very much. next speaker please and hi i'm chris i'm a resident. i've been a native of san francisco my whole life and also i work in the transit program district. a lot of people are going to talk about parking. my sole problem i've had with all of those issues is the lack

of communication with mta and the lack of discussion with the businesses before they started coming up with those plans. ed reiskin said they're going to going go back to the drawing board but if he had approached the folks on transit improvement and such if he'd discussed that with the communities he won't be having the push back you're having now. thank you very much. next speaker please and good afternoon supervisors i have a point of view that it from 1960 to 2000 people buy cars to drive

and at the same time muni has to show a - that's over 10 percent of system speed drop and it's about $80 million a year. when you think about what to do that about parking you don't want to encourage more parking it screws up minnesota u muni more than it is. and what is the additional expect from parking you want to raise sales taxs? you want to raise real estate taxes 19 no way so you charge for parking and it helps muni run. and then i ought to think about fairness. i'm thinking about the northern district they balanced it between the rp p lots more

meters because they have to deal r with people that work there. is it fair to 710 say that a san francisco resident can have a great parking place and other folks are so pay a lot to park. there's $2 an hour and i think a that's going to be gone because that's where their going to put the park. so i think the mta has done a job that eliminates some places that folks drive in the daylight. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> good morning i came here

because they said this meeting would be take place and i thought this room would be occur conditioned so i came. i wanted to see if my house would be in the red zone. i think i'm directly out of it but still that kind of scares any if you put meters in that zone it will force people to park in front of my house. and then people will saying later that we need more parking meters. so really that's all i have to say nice air conditioning. >> thank you next speaker.

>> i'm awning automobile mechanic i have a small business in june i'll begin mire 44th year. i'd like to talk about if you come down to the northeast mission industrial zone any old week day i can't find parking there and the reason is the most vibrant business in the city there's thousands of people working there and it's been the area has been largely left alone by the city. it's a little area that the city hadn't had much to do with. that's part of the reason it's to vibrant. and the only problem -- we get along fine with the situation

the way it is. all the businesses have the parking they need and manage it. the parking meters - the area is like the boiling room in a ship. if you put in parking meters all are worker class monthly latino who can't afford the parking meters it will be like turning the slow down to the water to the applicants. the city created the zone to protect businesses the parking problem is imcomposing the

conditions. >> next speaker please and i'm a resident and business owner at the developing investment in artists community. i'm here straight off a job and i'm glad to be here. i applaud the sprifrdz for holding this hearing thank you and the staff for coming and explaining what you're doing. i wanted to underline angelinas plan it's not her begin plan but put together by business owners. i see a problem in the believe i live in that we have a number of first floor businesses. that if they had to contend with

parking meters they'd probable be out of business. and some of them it would inconvenience them. i like the last plan ed worked on because it and the the residents. i don't see anything outside of what the plan that angelina present for the p dr people that keeps them alive and vibrant that's important >> thank you. next speaker please and hi thank you for having me here today. i'm a san francisco native lived here most of my adult life. i've had tickets on my of my adult life. while the ticket were valid some

were not the the meters themselves failed or i got a wrong ticket that have or. i've had my motor circle was towed away. i live out in the suburbia and i see parking meters way out by the beach out in golden gate area it doesn't stop. frankly i'm a working-class guy and when i see here is we're paying for the fat cats who get the right side off those parking meters. and those tickets. and people who work for the muni

system make large monuments the overtime and large amounts of pensions. quite frankly, i don't want to pay their pen shubz i don't want to pay a smart phone. and why don't we ever mention what happens down at pier 70 you get free parking. anyway, the whole parking thing of putting parking meters on sunday is a crock of manure >> thank you. next speaker please. >> i'm marjorie i'm a business

owner and resident. my company has services and we are on harrison street and a merry possess we're directly impacted. we billed cubicles and move furniture. in the an entry-level job we look for people who are intelligent and willing to work. this is an area for kids who are at risk for gangs. this is a solid job that pays union wages. we pay between 8 hundred thousand to a million dollars a year and pay taxes on that which goes to fund san francisco

programs. now in the event you put meters every their 4 hour meters it will make it basically impossible for us to run our business. employees usually drive to our business and it's necessary for them. those are personally owned and they go out to job sites to kick the work that our business sends them out. we're not entitled to some take breaks but we would like to survive. roadway if our entices are unable to park outside our business that business is going

to stop existing. if you look at citywide there goes our tax base. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker please and i live in district 2. >> popping street is my main park street. i have been drawn into the debate as a prior architectural. i got drawn into this by seeing all the signs i did inform myself and then preceded to talk with residents and a merchants and found that one is the level

of direct is phenomenal. there's very few people who can get the big picture and a understand things. most of the people i talk to who are dead set against the proposal are virtually and i stand corrected it can't be 1 hundred percent but there are merchants who want to have changes. as a former architect i'm able to give them scenarios where changes could be good but i found people don't want to listen. and there's very few people who understand the plans that were i've been targeted as an individual false rumors and claims made about me.

i will say that the mta is a human institution therefore it's not perfect. the demanding that we should have what with he want when we want and drive a car await discretion to use for lengthen is unreasonable. san francisco is a city of neighborhoods one size does not fit all. thank you very much. next speaker please. >> hello, i'm a commercial photographer and i live at 20th and bryant. i'd like to clarify that the coming from my business my p dr business requires people to come out with gear and the stylists come out with garments to bring

so there's lots of coming and going. a that's part of the charm of this neighborhood we've been able to park here and there's a significant a lot of these photographers in mire community and a i've graph tatd toward this area. where at least south of market it offers you some parking lots to at least take advantage of for the day there's one lot with just 40 lots that's not practical for my neighborhood so in the summer i'd like to support angelinas request for the parker permit. i realize you're going to put some miters in this this 4 hour

thing is a slippery slope and a all of a sudden those meters with are going to cost more. so if you must put some meters with a two hour permit for my clients and a support groups. >> next speaker please and i'm ann i'm a resident of the northeast mission. >> i took time off of work i believe folks are underrepresented in this process. there's many, many people living in those buildings that are not being acknowledged as residents. and a love the neighborhood the way it is.

we all seem to be able to get along. i've been part of this process from the beginning. we're doing fin and i'd like to reiterate some of the things the consequences of something like that are unintended i don't think they can be there's no way to know what's going to be happening. and t and t and the implementation and then we'll look at the other part we need a comprehensive plan. i haven't seen any way to back out of something when can you say uncle it handbag has to be right mr. reiskin.

i'll leave this alone >> thank you very much. >> i am a resident of the hill i'm a homeowner which menus i'm a significant property taxpayer. in the city and i was here at the 70 mta meeting with the subject of the parking meters was 75 to one and extended meters is a sunday issue that is terrible. i'd agree against more meters. if you wanted a destroy the bar

business just do the meters past 10 o'clock >> you should keep things as they are but be reporter full of the homeowners. this is a driving town but let's not forget who butters your bread and that's the folks of this town and putting parking meters everywhere is a bad idea >> thank you very much. >> i'm rubin i'm a 70 native of district 7 out in the inner sunset. i'm sorry about the gripping by in my view sfmta has lost of the privilege of managing park parking in san francisco.

they're creating cash to pay for bus service and bicycle plans because state funding has dried-up. if i have my way that parking enforcement needs to go back to the way it was. first off cars have no voice in this at all. i'm a homeowner i live out you know where there's much less bus service. the bus service is decent if you need to get downtown but if i take my autistic son it's impossible. it takes my wife an hour and 3 buses to get over there. i don't have a way to bike my

autistic son to where he needs to go. there needs to be a change in the way the board gets appointed. we could go oh, of the skyrocketing gouging and the metered rates and the enforcement days sunday and all of westport california got blanketed. i've talked to the rank and file supervisors on the street and they hate sfmta they want it back the way it was before >> thank you very much. next speaker please. i'll call more names.
