>> thank you. >> thank you (clapping.) (clapping.) >> hello, i'm aaron i live on fillmore and phelps i'd like to make a few point we've circulated a few petitions this weekend and quickly were able to get 88 signatures on square feet.org a broad opposition and i'm in opposition to this measure we've heard from many folks including the staff say this is imperfect and my second point in regards to the data this is the survey data there of the proposed and includes about 10 blocks where permit parking was in place the 40.78 percent
1:31 am
the survey 0 show you shows you the data and i understand the frustration you know we all want to find parking but unfortunately, this proposal puts a burden on several people and will not help as the data clearly shows i'd like to urge the board to wait until the recommendations for fixing this as mentioned were brought to bear or perhaps consider other tools like 45 or 90 degree angle parking in place as we have on some streets (clapping.) i'd like to add the proposed blocks must be of a low or medium characterize as stated on the sfmta website now this is a density map of the blocks proposed there are 4 blocks within area q between
1:32 am
steiner and webster and golden gate and fulsome that are designated designated beas 4 was the density so it's a problem opposed thank you very much. >> (clapping.) (calling names) and then harlan jones. >> i'm jeanette baemz i represent the daughters of golden west we have the building at 5 acre at fulsome almost at the corner our building was built in 1928 for our members would come from all over california for meetings sometimes because family members have medical appointment at ucsf and some people like myself that work inform city college of san francisco myself a third
1:33 am
generation san franciscan this will greatly impact our members we have 90 degree parking on the 900 block of barking so garages for people that live in the building permanently but 21 beds for people that are members who come from different parts of california for their meetings that support some of the organizations like the children's foundation and so when they come to meet they come for a couple of days we currently park 3 cars from the driveway and residential parking we won't be able to park in our own driveways so i hope
1:34 am
we can exclude that block but both the p extension and the q about effect us we're right at fulton and a baker. >> i'm opposed to this project reefrp was undergoing flawed very flawed as you heard the two meetings held before this omittancely the people were if opposition they were opposed to this it is shocking i shouldn't be surprising sprield but am the entire impact of the community the western edition the life the church and the african-american church community was totally ignored and shocking i need to do something about that
1:35 am
(clapping.) i'm wondering because i have a feeling that since the first two meetings are fallen on deaf ears nevertheless if you going god and implement this the people that spoke around a month park it's stupid to have alamo parking what's the heck of a difference they can only park for two hours so permit it like people like me can park there if i have to get a permit that was really, really dumb time and certainly areas to 8:00 p.m. makes no sense 8:00 p.m. one person that talked about i ghetto home from work i want to be there 8:00 p.m. that's stupid stupid stupid really, really dumb as the other person that talked
1:36 am
when he gets home at 2 in the morning hell at 11:00 p.m. i can't get parking but listen to the people please i implore you listen to the people and pay attention to them (clapping.)

1:37 am
to come out and move their cars walking up and down golden gate around steiner and pierce it seems to me ludicrous while i understand the permits will not be enforced on weekends many church activities took place during the week we have members from oakland and as far away from hayward and for them to be parking again it seems to me ridiculous we have a daycare center to require the workers to have to come out and leave the children unattended to move their cars is ridiculous we find out after november of 2014 about this initiative is a slight as a
1:38 am
church community a slight to the people in the community if you go ahead with this you need to consider that you're allowing approximately 2 hundred and thirty petitions to effect thirty households ridiculous (clapping.) (calling names). >> thank you for hearing me by the way i'm strongly in support of this and there is a vast majority as a vast majority on the one side that people support this i understand the meeting did not hear about this the people i think that's a slight and major slight and in the future we should correct this i also understand that that county basically insulted you by calling me a renter therefore i
1:39 am
have no rights i've been there for 15 years i hear a lot of the opposition from people that don't live there (clapping.) we live there everyday and enit is your that i have a 21/2-year-old have you tried to circle a broke when they're about to go down for 45 minutes i own a fiat 5 hundred if i can't park no one can park it is a small car i want to say there's a lot of people here that are in strong support of the measure and people that worked hard to get this like rafts from a sinking ship from all the areas permitted partnering they end up in your neighborhoods for weeks on end just come back coming by

1:42 am
figure out it becomes for the proposal today and in dealing with the sfmta the e-mail responses and it's been in support of proposal not unanimous but we have the majority of support that the sfmta has received and that's consistent with the survey routines we've conducted the majority are in favor of the residential parking proposal that's where .2 halves of the paroled and not sacrificing parking for the residents >> thank you very much. >> lynn stone and others. >> hello it's good to see you in person i looked at you up era

1:46 am
that are impacted businesses and residents this has been going on for the last 8 months i wish i had a definite answer the alamo scare voted 6 in favor 4 against two abstained you you know a lot of the data is anecdotal the method of collecting varies and difficult definitely to say roughly speaking 6 out of 12 love it 4 out of 12 hate it it and two don't have an opinion it's tough it make a decision we've tried hard to demonstrate a position one way or the other it is maybe more sports in opposition but certainly a lot

1:48 am
the proponent to bring up that are valid particularly a resident in the alamo scare area talks about the cost of a single day as opposed to to the cost of a year-round permit if we're trying to encourage people to use car share and muni we shouldn't today is incentive them we shouldn't make it relating cheaper to own a car then share a car we want to work with the sfmta staff to make that easier for people that don't own cars to park in their neighborhood. >> maybe some things to be done differently. >> the young man has a difficult process you handed it dip masking

here from the overflow room i'm a member of the hate ashbury neighborhood council board please delete the areas south of south street not in the organization boundary either this project pits neighbors against neighbors no new parking has been created it is just a hunting license and the fact it is the same procedure for 40 years might possibly be a signal you might want to consider changes for the moving forward why should it be that a few hundred people can initiate the process but to get out of it later on if it is imposed on neighborhoods 50 percent of the neighborhoods have to sign up but to get out you have to
