and having been involved in my school days as school board leaders and parents we're concerned about the number of families and students along the corridor but to ma many private and public schools along that corridor. but i wanted to say that before we start to hear from public comments. we have to have our board of supervisors chamber in not two long so we're going to limit comments to two minutes per person. and with 30 seconds to go there will be a short ding to people and hopefully, you'll wrap up. i'm going to call the people roughly in the order of the

speaker cards. you don't have to speak in the order you were called (calling names) so it doesn't have to be that ord order. either microphone will work >> i'm ed. i'm here on behalf of my family. not very far from ma sonic. we've been there a number of years. safety on the street is a prim certain. i used to walk my daughter to school and we've also had her

walk to school. and we've also noticed 80 that safety on the street is an issue. now, mr. wilson my partner couldn't be here but he'd love to articulate this further. my daughter got her first paying job downtown they both commute. but the important thing here is street safety and i don't think that putting bike baselines down the street is a way to address this. you're going to compromise our parking of the residents that live adjacent to the ma sonic 3 corridor that places an undue burden to us residents.

i'm a senior citizen

we love biking. my husband bikes a lot. but we don't think that getting rid of all this parking without input from the families. i've talked to hundreds of people. and majority had idea this was quin going in. the bike coalition decided to push this through and the city said sorry it's already approved. it's impacting the community my neighbor who drives to - my

neighbors are trying to decide should they go to private school are my friend howard is in a wheelchair and everyone is against this and feel they have no voice in. >> i'm going to call a few more names (calling names) >> next speaker >> hi i'm a 17 year resident at ma sonic. i agree with the last peculiar. most of the people in my neighborhood weren't aware of this until it was passed.

so i'm not anti bike, i'm not pro car but this is going to be a hardship on the neighborhood. i think that baker street would be a better choice thank you >> next speaker >> good morning i oppose this project. i live ma sonic on a daily basis. i work on the corridor on oak street. i can see first-hand the negative effect of moving 90 spaces that has had in my area and the businesses surrounding my office in addition to the oak street commute lane. we're talking about moving more

spaces besides the 90 parking spaces. there's been no study regarded the target store and the old fire man's building is going to be developed upwards of 70 new units. i was born and raised here may family all have cars. i'm not going to put my son on the bus. the 43 bus line has over 13 thousand daily riders and the ma sonic has 13 thousand car trips and we have businesses the elderly and others will be negatively impacted. i think it's time for the board

of supervisors to not approve projects hundreds of units without streetcar parking don't make sense >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hi i'm doug i'm a 23 year homeowner on the seven hundred block of ma sonic. i want to thank you. you talk about being prepared. i didn't get any notification. i occupy both of my flats and not no notification. i also work in construction and i look at blue prints. when i looked at this i don't see a good plan you're going to chocolate traffic and take away

parking. i was one of the construction people on ma sonic that had two layers of parking more than enough parking. you can't take way the parking. i'm also a biker. someone who spoke is central i don't ride on a central taking away two commute baselines all night i hear horns. you're going to be losing revenue and people moving. parking is a premium and it shouldn't be taken away. the man who spoke before me had the numbers you should listen to

those >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hello. it seems this project is flawed. number one there's a precipitation on the boards presumption that the community has been initialing this. i live in the neighborhood and no notices come through. there's a miss communication and miss preparation about the way this thing has been moving forward. it's a train that's left the station and nobody can make any changes. it's going to benefit a very narrow sector of society. it's for many different families and this is not going to do it. who benefits from this?

>> certainly the bike riders do but in coping hag this is a very narrow beneficial project. the businesses on the street and the schools all of the side streets where people have to drive around an hour plus looking for parking. any parents who are draifg their children will choke the road down to one lane. it seems to me this project should be stopped completely >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hello. i'm a resident living between central and lion an area that's

being directly impacted by this proposed design pit together. i've living on ma clarity and i hope you'll take a hard look at this. not just a curry one. it doesn't allow for safety. the two major problems number one very few people have been notified about the sessions. i'm also out in the neighborhood and i heard nothing about the planning sessions. it only focuses on ma sonic and half a block on either side. the opinion powell is the second problem is part of this study had only a one hundred and 13 people responding in the to the

population in page 57 of your study. and it has a block of 10 thousand people. additionally there are 4 major problems with the conclusion number one there's been no study with an environmental impact report. the impact on the traffic is opening at ma sonic and gary and the traffic described on page fourteen was done when there's no large store there. and third no large vehicles will be able to get along this route and fourth the plan is focused on ma sonic. you need to do two things not fund this today. this needs to be - >> thank you, sir. >> thank you there needs to be

large meetings. >> thank you. next speaker and before this people (calling names) mr. griffin. >> yes hello, i'm larry griffin. i've would on ma clarity between line and central for 58 years. i never heard about the project. i heard there was some plans but was never notified about any meetings i would have been all over this. i think there's been no plan or thought given to the neighborhoods on west or east of

ma sonic and how the parking is going to effect the neighborhood. you have sf students all with cars. i'm not anti bike but there are cars folks and to get rid of crucial parking is not a smart plan. i'm also a former fire commissioner and i think that commissioner bred can see there maybe problems trying to negotiate the traffic. if a bus stops you've got one lane and if i've got first responders trying to get through it's a real that public safety issue. that's not been taken into

consideration. who people come out of their garages they're going to have trouble. people speed on that corridor all the time they should be getting thank you very much >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please and a hello. >> i'm opposed to the project s in its present form. i think we shed wait until the traffic has at about studied. someone put a flier on my car a sort of while ago.

we need more neighbor input and losing those spaces would be a disaster and 10 deaths on this major corridor it's obviously terrible. and there's already a bike baselines on the north south part already. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please >> so the lower one t is what? the one on your left is the microphone. so madam the microphone on the left. >> so i'm a thirty year

residents and we've never had garages. we've also had parking problems. by the amount of cars in the neighborhood has graduate reputed. in the 80s they already said the parking lot in our neighborhood was at a hundred percent. the only supervisor who listened to us what was a past supervisor. all those people are going to have to drop their children off and they're to flood our neighborhoods p.s. also, they

didn't report when sears and merry violence was closed. i've lived here particle when the sales all the traffic floods into the neighborhoods. nowadays i don't have a parking space. i'm disabled. what i'm putting on the overhead a picture of me. this picture - oh, i can't see it. that's a picture of me and my two-year-old daughter. we're not against bicyclists i love bicycles and a thank you madam >> we need to have parking for our neighborhood and a thank you. >> next speaker thank you.

>> hi i'm steve and this is my lady friend. i also represent michael - excuse me. rogers a parents in sophie's class. and at this moment he's on mountain bikes and he's my neighbor arrest we're also fourth and fifth generation san franciscans from this neighborhood. the benefits - i'm sorry. i'm a civil engineer. the benefits of up ground water this it turns the street into a smart street. and it allows children's freedom

of movement via bicycling. it reduce facility and, yes 7 facility is a lot. it's a greening project. we would bike to kaiser. we would bike to the african-american culture class. they and it reduce parking demand. biking reduced parking demand. you've got to the usual of blood for oil. we can see it on the news and finally the obvious stuff of bicycles and pedestrian safety.

i think you should take into consideration the biking too >> thank you. next speaker, please >> good morning supervisors i'm mary. i'm a 39 year resident. i operated a business with my husband it was a limousine service. i have noticed and witnessed some of the horrendous accidents that have occurred and, yes we do need to do something about the safety on ma sonic and the intersections that have been failed one is at okay. but this is not the plan to do it. this plan puts shrubbery on the

sidewalks and bike baselines that are raised, puts a divided er on the street. people are having road rage going downtown in the morning. and going home at night where there's an additional lane makes it even worse. they've recently put officers on the corner of hayes and ma sonic to catch folks doing ways of driving but not having vision to back out of your driveway and blocking emergency vehicles.

firehouses have been talked to and those people were not aware of the problems. but i think the commissioner has made a good point so thank you very much >> thank you madam. i'm going to call the last 3 cards that i have (calling names) next speaker >> good morning. i'm winston. i'm a fourth generation san franciscan and currently reside between pine and bush streets. while i'm supportive of projects i'm here about the ma sonic. here's an opening quote it reads streets are almost always public and when we speak of the public

realm we're speaking of streets. streets change the buildings along with them changes. if we can develop and design streets so their wonderful and fulfilling and attractive and we'll have successively designed those streets. this is especially pertinent for san francisco where 25 percent of a quarter of our surface area is in streets not in parks. while everyone is viagra for a piece of the pie we have to know long-term about how to develop our streets. i remember remember from a young age my sister and you were told not to cross pine street.

but broken glass and collisions made it ever dent. if we want families to stay in the city then our streets shouldn't make patents feel like their sending their kids across accident zones >> i want to say that - and a thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good morning. i used to live on tooush and central. i'm in favor of the project. i bike and walk. so biking is not a weekend hobby it's actually, the way i get to

work and everywhere. i've also avoided riding on ma sonic because it's a tifr street and my safety is not worth that convenience. i didn't participate in the process because it was after it had taken place but i found out about it afterward and i was very impress about the plan improvements. i want to ask you to approve the funding and make ma sonic available to everyone thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please >> good afternoon. i'm vooins.

i'm a motorcyclist and cyclist. i'm against the plan for many reasons the wild card is target. you don't know the target. you're taking away traffic baselines in the street where cars potentially are going to come down. if you build it they will come. reducing it to 3 baselines is ridiculous. they will have to re-evaluate this. the fact retains targeted is a wild card and we're asking not to fund the project and the neighborhood is not as involved

trying to make their way down ma sonic. as one person mentioned they often have to go into the ongoing traffic baselines to get into the street. that will a hook and ladder doesn't go around the corner. they're to have to find another route to travel north and south that's going to add a lot of times for response. it could be whether someone lives or dies because they can't get there. once you take away the two bike
