got a ways to go but it's doable. but supervisor wiener brought out a good point and it's about the traffic and the public transportation. very important. i hate to compare this to other projects but back in the at&t campaign they said no parking no parking. i remember it like it was yesterday. very, very important but i would like to see when they have an event down there a lot of people get out and walk and walk and walk. that's a smart development and they always say well, we want the warriors arena but we want it somewhere else. they're on the right track but they still have their work to

do. very important on the public transportation and traffic. thank you, thank you very much >> good afternoon. i'm here today as as an sf neighbor. and on behalf of the league i want to sayou to therrio they'v cutting-edge of organization for education and i'm happy to bring them to san francisco. and i think this will support the culture diversity. thank you. >> good afternoon. supervisors i'm steven lee. i'm a long time entrepreneur. i have a business here and i am

successful. thank you guys and good luck >> just said to quickly say that our organization already testified. we're really excited weather been long excited about san francisco and one of the great thing is you have the forum for folks to come out and talk about their opinions. and let's bring basketball back to the city. thank you. >> sue. speaking for i move arrest a year ago numerous this board supported this project. it was 11 to zero.

and we have been waiting a long time for it to move. we have a design kind of today. one of the things that he was really was said was that peter albert talked about when the central subway is going to come in line it was a year ago. only this board has to say get rid of the 2007 deadline it's the official site they have. they're moving too fast. i was involved working with residents just like i am today of south beach on the giants stadium in the late 90s. and the giants did their homework.

they really, really, really worked with the community over a period of 4 to 5 years. they were a san francisco company that respected the residents and they reached an agreement. you have got to tell the warriors 2017 means we do a half-baked job and we won't have a transit system available actually, the following year and they're coming in into the year 2017. i don't think >> i'd like to have the public comment closed seeing none.

>> public comment closed. >> i'm really impressed of the number of people who came today. i want to remind everyone that the approvals won't be here until seven months so i have more time to come out and lobby your position. i think you've heard from the board. i think transit and congestion are going to be a big part of what we are going to be looking at besides the larger scale of how it effects the waterfront. but the biggest certain is the traffic congestion.

and how to mitigate the traffic concerns. we're already not i think it's a level we should be for the developments we have in place and certainly i believe in density we just have to make sure we have the accommodations to take care of that. and other touching infrastructure on all the services for s sf and, of course, traffic police we can't have intuitive of that. we need folks enforcing our laws. what was before us today was

merely the design and what they're looking at. we think there's no kind of contest. but i'm interested in hearing what the folks will be saying tonight on the warriors. >> so if there's no additional comment then can we continue this to the call of the chair? supervisor? or unless - the motion is to file item number 3. that will be the order. and also with respect to item number one for the record is the

continuance of item one was the item amended. madam clerk any other business before the committee? >> no. then we were uyç+ñ(v-f+ñú
