pinning for campaigns and programs the creation and revival of parks and garden and street trees and creeks and waterfronts are table and dick especially, when compared to many of the long term economic strategies that you must also think undertaken in our urban neighborhoods the solicitation of local cultures through public art and street festivals and food is colorful and life moifrm and enjoyable and context in the associate and educational programs that must be part of the community building strategy effective upper be greening projects are invaluable in the heath of a community but intrinsic will i important month green grow out of the special and single issue advocates those

20 who promote the community gardens like the tree people visible all over the and their allies with the managerial talent for murals and other public art and an entrepreneurial to find the initials in their community without those kinds of single-minded focus most of the greening initiate and projects would not be released at the same time those specific projects fit within some broad categories of community action those broad categories of framing on urban issues show the greening movement is a wider basis of community sport and the affordable domains considered are advocacy foyer inspirational

justice and promotes of community development and focus on community factors vance entity and upper structure thank you is there additional public comment i believe you want to speak on the next item. >> this is general public comment. >> i wanted to speak about an item i'm anastasia i want to speak about natural areas problem and the natural resorts area management plan, which will come to you for your approval soon and i want to say that this plan is awful and the program is totally unnatural and i brought over what it does it cuts trees

and actually this management plan is for the next 20 years but the program had cut so many trees during the 15 or 17 years that wasn't in existence and uses herbicides something they consider bad i brought to you this command to the report by distinguished professor of the reviewer or revolutionary college i'll read part of this comment and it says at the time when public funds and prioritization is may or may not and polled the san franciscans for the restoration ecology it is

unbeknownst him in for a kind of gardening for the culture generation and the a.d. honors of natural life it is invasive i'll be clear the consideration in the case of restoration the college the what is believed to be present essentially a point in the past almost always no studies of what was there from a fungial standpoint usually none beyond that but desiring to create a similar acronym it must be recognizes it is a home garden and sustaining without constraint maintaining it is not a self regeneration those are

not obtained when the context has changed the environment as changed and the species has changed often dramatically attempts to restore it in the european they've not been an exception so the recreation of small management it was supposed sorry thank you - >> next speaker >> hi, i'm jimmy live on geary at the intersection of jones street i'm here for another item i'll speak to looter but generally speaking i live in downtown which was renamed from the tenderloin when they extended the real estate borders we have inform parklets open jones street and we get a lot of

noise there are a lot of people after hours sitting out and smoking because it's in front of that bar we have to live with this i agree with the intent of packing parking let's and specialized the comments but it is counter productive i was not able to oppose the park let you work for a living and can't come all the time i was compelled i went to bed and a at 4:00 a.m. and have to deal with a lot of noise and businesses there instead of bums we deal with a lot of people in housing clinics that are off their meds or something i don't know in addition i'm a ride share urges and the parking spaces on the street were approved it's not a

wise decision we need as much space to improve the traffic flow downtown we we have a red line you down geary street that does nothing to help the traffic or pedestrian safety a lot of people that walk into the street are not aware and it's their fault so i think we blame drivers a lot i don't oppose a car i haven't owned a car i take pride in walking to work and approve of the green initiatives where we are the public comments should be general and not specialized thank you. >> thank you additional general public comment? own knowledge seeing none, general public comment is closed.
