4:35 pm
the environmental study should have been done years ago when the busses started to republic through and the city looked at the other ways and those corporations were devastating our neighborhood. this decision soujt like a slam dunk it going back to the drawing board and number 2 as soon as this hearing is over you contact the department of traffic and tell him to endorse the laws. bower and the rest of them will find private lots pretty fast it's really that simple. and finally forgive me for telling you how to do your job,

4:40 pm
be many shelters coming through. people have mentioned that would be really good to actually go out into the community and see the legal immaterial of the program. i wonder if you can get this on the monitor unfortunately but that's a apple bus it was turning on from val say and twouthd you can't see it basically, it went over the curve. you know, since the protest has happened there recent smaller buses they've using i've never seen them before but there their needs to be looked at an impact >> thank you very much.
4:41 pm
>> hi, i'm michael i'm here today as a citizen of san francisco and also here as a native san franciscan that, you know, there's a lot of concern when you see a lot of people come out and speak on an issue there's a lot of concern about something and one of the concerns here is, you know, obviously a sequa review needs to happen. i've been dealing with the planning process for over 20 years in san francisco this is one of its amazing how someone can say we don't need one we're here to discuss a need for a planning process. we need to survey the impacts and there needs to be mitigation once we find out what the
4:42 pm
mitigation is and san francisco is losing it's soul. let's keep the public's trust that's what you have been put into office to do. thank you >> next speaker >> our family was run down on ellis street, in fact, there wasn't a lot of safety done and, in fact, one million dollars was on ellis street it's insufficient not enough i think i'll stick to that. there needs to be a bigger vision or something speaker if you want to compare technical i didn't see to minority groups there was a time chinese were only allowed to live in chinatown and males and
4:43 pm
murderers we don't look at the minority group we anti right general sided. and it seems like we're kept going into a new manifest disney all the things we used to support those things where gone so in closing, i would like to suggest that 41, you know, if urge to a use the obscure and red herring mission do smlg something we might overlook that. >> hi, i'm lydia i'm a resident of the tenderloin i've lived there 5 years and a san
4:44 pm
francisco resident 15 years i live around the corner in ellis street where the little girl was killed and it should have ramifications for people for the so-called google buses that are unsurvive but i want to give you an somewhere it happened to me and how the google buses have personally affected my environment and my daughters. we take her across town to hate ashbury she goes to chinese school on awful low i'm proud to have her there. so we have to catch two buses evidence to get her there and back. as we were making a transfer from one bus to another to the van ness and market just a
4:45 pm
couple of months ago we saw that our bus what iowa was coming and we were kitty corner we ran cross the street and so we could catch the bus and at the bus stop through another two life cycles we watched google buses pull around the bus and blocking traffic and the muni bus driver was waiting because it wasn't save to be pulling into the intersection ambassador once the muni bus pulled to the intersection the google bus was blocking it. it really has an impact on the transit plans and the citizens we missed our next bus and -
4:46 pm
>> thank you very much. >> spirsz i'm keri i'm a staff with the 10 to one i'm here to admit a wrong i'm one of the unfortunate souls that parked on sutter and jeopardizing in 2011, i had a bus pull up behind me i did my best to get out of the way not knowing what was going to happen a couple of weeks later i got a ticket in the mail saying i had to pay $265 recognizing i did the wrong thing i paid the ticket. come to find out the google bus the city cut a deal for one
4:47 pm
dollar per stop that's not fair if we don't make a change where the public is went there's a lot of anger pointed out at the politicians in the city i urge you to look at the system and try to figure out a way to move working people around the region and the method doing that's fair. thank you >> ted with the san francisco tenants union we support this from the data that was seen it's clear and a direct correlations related to those google bus stops it's time we give up to ask the tech industry to mitigate the damage. there causing us to be evicted and rents to go up but we really
4:48 pm
need to study the whole stent of the processing problem of the google bus stops and if their causing rents to rise in neighborhoods we got to think about moving them out of the city dui but the first step is to do the eir and carefully analysis this with any new things that happen in the tech industry because their causing serious damage to the housing crisis and are directly involved with the crisis and we need to increase the ellis allocation to again, the tenants union supports the appeal and definitely believes we need to do an eir. thanks >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors i'm karen
4:49 pm
i'm usually here speaking for the club but i'm here speaking for myself. my comment is going to make sense eventually. a few years ago i went to a plan school why am a learning this stuff now in graduate school the anchorage person doesn't realize they can come to appeal the decisions when they think not that the person's who can't do their job ass but mike, i think what went wrong with the cat gun control decision to exempt the program many of those have been discussed but one effects me more than one the details to
4:50 pm
muni so since the valley is close i believe the shuttle has been going down the street and it gets stops behind the muni that's happening all over the city. we're hanging out in the middle of traffic so the busses can get around i think it makes sense to do a full environmental review >> thank you. i want to welcome back former supervisor aaron and mr. president, and members of the board of supervisors i think i testified on another sequa issue relative to the america's cup. i have been intimidating
4:51 pm
involved with sequa and have had the pleasure of adjusting over a one hundred of those matters it's abundantly clear to me that this project is not exempt if sequa. i don't think that in the 8 years i was on the board but the exemption as council for the appellants is predicated on no potential environmental impacts being present. the moving papers clearly show there's a large number of them i don't want to look at the clear impacts but the air quality and publication and traffic gangs that clearly need meet the low they recalled is this is not
4:52 pm
from sequa. i was on the board of supervisors when the planning department issued a cat ignorantly comments on the bikes plan that was appealed i said in this matter it was not exempt if we were sued we'd lose. i salute all of you for sitting through another sequa hearing while some of you don't like the law the facts are contrary it's not exempt from sequa you should grant the appeal. thank you very much thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i work to for the public library and teach in the city hall and in noah valley i've been told those people have trouble parking because people driving into the neighborhood to
4:53 pm
park to take the busses. but i learned a lot from this meeting and i hope people on both sides of this issue have as well. i felt extremely uncomfortable this creates two different groups. we're all people and techies are here i love the things they make but it the upon the government to enforce the laws and this dies is unfair to you'll have us i urge you to support of the eirs thank you >> next speaker any other speakers who wish to support of appellant step forward now. >> i'm christopher i live on 6th and howard to get to my give him
4:54 pm
at a decent time in the morning i have to pass through a mass of google folks loitering on market street. when i say massey mean there are tens if not a hundred they're waiting for their tax-free transport and if my timing is bad i could accidently get swept into a bus and end to in mountain view and a google co- popcorn could get bumped and that's a serious impact if i could get sfgov it didn't take a whole page. anyway. if you check any blog crankier
4:55 pm
than you there's buses and a posting i left there. it's a reason not to use technology. thank you very much mr. president, >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm peter usually talking about the library matters but today as an individual i want to say, of course, there should be a sequa elevation and the appellant should be upheld. i hope to i don't know the sequa considered means a moral hazard those buses represent. every time a child or a adult or one of those folks lumbering
4:56 pm
along blocking traffic and using a bus stop when no one else can or if they use the bus stop their subject to a serious crime money talks everyone else walk money seems to buy privilege and exempts them not us from the law so i hope the sequa that you will vote for today also considered the hazard that all of those folks represents. >> thank you. >> hello, i'm laurie want to bring my babies with me that stay at my hotel room i stay about four blocks.
