>> good afternoon mr. toronto. >> good afternoon tom nolan. >> i have a couple of major issues to the addressed the article in the could chronicle about the traffic issues and it is there are other issues involved that are creating traffic besides the flickal issue all those delivery services that have blossomed because of apps and the laundry and dry cleaning and food delivery and a medical marijuana delivery that's why the streets are getting crowded if you go and drive the streets drive down polk street on a friday or saturday night there's lots of

empty taxis on the streets pulled over double-parked and blocking crosswalks waiting for the riders gets into their vehicle that is that not appropriate the second subject is the baseball they've now closed second street and kevin is a great guy, however, the enforcement of the cabstands is nil nil why do we have investigators. you're not going to help us fascinate picking up the ball park and tow the vehicles with the drivers in them i tried to use the cabstands at the holiday inn at 58 street and overdrive he started swearing at me and closing i took someone in a

wheelchair from the ball park and i thought that was a bar admits would a left e lyft be able to do that, please take the message seriously and help us >> mr. chairman that's the last speaker card your next is the by one resolution in the form or forms listed below. if discussion is desired, that item will be removed from the consent agenda and will be considered separately. directors several consent calendar items have been severed 10.1-c g and e have been severed and the rest of the consent remains as is. >> members of the board is there a motion to approve. >> >> new discussion. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it 10.4 c. >> barry toronto.

>> hi good afternoon barry toronto again, i'd like to point out on c a request ton traffic lights there's justification 19 and delores is a t intersection with no steebz maybe try a stop sign or the issue to make sure that two concerns that their minded with the other lights on the street so they're all red at the same time with the other existing lights or their you'll green because all you're going to do is create more traffic with the extra cars so i'm thrumming it has got to be minded and at 19 and delores some can be flashing i think it is important to look at like in chinatown it works wonderfully

after 9 o'clock at night all the lights are flashing except for sacramento but their flashing i worked with a traffic engineer it works great the evidence of pedestrians a minimal on stockton street so maybe looking at especially 19th street and taylor's to have flashing lights or after a certain hour because they're only maine for pedestrians but taylor's is heavy during the day but after 9 at night they're by cars it is important not to implement traffic but by safety if safety there's no one to have safety so so i appreciate your time and also the light out here for example the light out here it is

important that the light in front of the city hall matches the lights in the intersection it didn't seem to be working that. >> motion to approve. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it now 10 point one g. >> gordon right now. >> good afternoon, sir. >> i'm here to comment on the stop sign on san jose and lake view about a week ago a child was killed i wouldn't have been killed if there was a stop sign in the intersection the day bra he was killed i got off the m a car came barely through at 35 mile-per-hour not stopping behind the car and they give me the finger when i

complained we were not stopping muni cars need bigger signs i want to see something big and red and flashing not this stupid let's go tiny sign everyone ignores 3 blocks away from this intersection is the m line a thousand people a day are dumped into traffic at that intersection one thousand a day thousand days two years that's one million people dumped into traffic and muni has no plans to fix that. >> there's no handicapped ramp over the freeway at niagra and snows that's 50 feet from the bar entrance and 40 years avsh after bart people

in wheelchairs are risking their lives going over the freeway on 90s after the m comes out of yard and constantly blocked by cars blocking the tracks you had a man chasing heed of cars for about a week everyday he chased away the cars you know you have a problem and haven't fixed it what are you going to do about it. >> that's the last one for this item one g. >> motion to approve. >> on 10.1 g. >> (inaudible). >> come forward please. that's okay. that's outlook. >> i'm sorry if you could speak
