unmerger with the bike lane the process needs to improve in terms of feedback and returning the information to the flower craft in youry we saw that bus stop ass was recently approved it there must be an appeal process available and in looking at the amounted to the t e p those issues the eir is insufficient. >> thank you. >> to analyze this bus stop. >> (calling names) and members of the board i'm jeffrey learn one the principles of craft gardener san francisco customers love conveniences if it is not convenient no matter how much people like the shop

native san franciscan who grew up in the mission during the 60s over this decades i've watched san francisco make we feel like a stranger nonprofit are squeezed out by real estate speculators i and thousand of residents can't afford to moo buy a home it is a investor place this is unique we're a small independent business we've been helping people created beautiful gardens over 40 years we're not a trendy lifestyle garden center i've had the pleasure of meeting generations of shoppers that come to us for excellent services grandmothers and their daughters and their daughters i'm holding in my hand

traffic - >> am i done all right. >> (calling names) he's the last person that submitted a speaker card. >> good afternoon good afternoon nice to be back it's been awhile since i've been here i want 0 comment on the concern the impact of the capital projects on muni passengers like the twin peaks tunnel and the subway projects i've attended a couple of meetings almost two makes and asked questions still waiting to hear back one the questions i recall a quarterly capital report that used to go to the board i've not seen it unable to locate those on the agencies website those were an

opportunity to understand on the capital projects what the obstacles are if that is being done i'm interested if not i'll recommend it be restored i have significant concerns about the capital division how their serving the transit division a number of questions about accident radio project and other things that are detailed i wanted to express that southern particular for the past impacts i understand twin peaks tunnel and the radio project is require bus schultz at night for roughly a year for the western parts of city that's a significant impact to many of us and that wasn't clearly explained at the public outreach meetings no shuttle plan made available and the resource into

the sunset tunnel i've not seen the twin peaks tunnel project people need to know how to integrate that project within the agency if that project is done thank you. >> (calling names) the last person to turn in a speaker card on this. >> good afternoon you herbert wiener first of all i don't know bike to work project has been mentioned earlier this meeting but i certainly hope everyone obeys the traffic light one thing i came that came to me a point of insight a lot of parking congestion and problems with cars being backed up and

the rest of it and i'm wondering if some is not due to widening the sidewalks removal ever parking meter and other improvement in if the park division remains with the police department i doubt if parking meter with would have been missing or sidewalks would have been w50i7b9d what happened then the reason the traffic was incorporated into mta or created as part and parcel of mta to create revenue and that's not really good enough because muni should be one action focusing on the problem and i realize that people sitting on this panel have the to do with the creation

of m g a i foolishly voted for it the model is too big in mta to succeed. >> any more if not next item please. >> this is general public comment on matters not on the agenda she wants to speak. >> go ahead. >> you go so fast. >> i just wanted to address the issues of the past day that he ball park and the caltrans the most implementation they've reduced the public ability of cap on are 2 reading the street is closed over the 8th ini don't

understand why the cab is not allowed to go into the cabstand and the cabstand that you've made available it between betraying man and it is so for back the cabs and other vehicles go around and pick up people at the greater than they get to the cabstand the ones waiting there and the pco does a good job but the vehicle is blocking the visibility of cabs they can't see you the cabs are sitting in lane and e line and it is frustrating i wish you could help us the ideal situation to allow us between that area of tomassoni and king there are

plenty of pcos standing around if i could assign one to make a u-turn it would give us an edge we need an edge over other cars because they can't turn safely i wish you could help also caltrain that the people coming out of the station once they know that is there they can't see the cabs from inside the station so anyways thank you for letting me speak. >> motorcycling one resolution in the form or forms listed below. if discussion is desired, that item will be removed from the consent agenda directors please be advised that items 10.3, 4 and 5 have been severed from the consent calendar by a member of the public and regards to item 10.5 did additional funds have

been identified and the original calendar amount was posted and the increase of $44,000 for a new total of $511,000.08 hundreds plus so the board needs to amend that amount for the higher amount so item 10 point one is the only item on the agenda. >> > all in favor, say i. > i. > so 10.2. >> 10.2 approve the various traffic moifksdz david. >> david again speaking as an individual my theme is environmental review the coverage page and the resolution includes the categorical

exemption but not the document itself i was not able to find this documents on the city planning website where it is normally where it is supposed to be so i don't see the environmental review documents i'm not sure you can approve that without it the calendar should direct the members of the public to actually find it is not this board determination that the exempted or the delegation agreement i'm luke for this document. >> i'll talk about the legality of it. >> the board could approve that subject to allocation by the planning department and is there a motion a second. > all in favor, say i. > i. > >> can you let me know when

that is valuable on future agenda items. >> next item. >> actually there is language in month calendar items the language is available if you turn to a public records request those documents that be vail their reviewed as part of staff but not attached to the calendar item. >> their supposed to be available to the public on the website. >> first item. >> item 10 that the directors authorize the $11 million plus for fiscal year 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 lifetime transportation with the late night public safety and the staff improvements on van ness. >> the gentleman will move this

item from the consent calendar. >> speaking as an individual once again the i'd like to take roll it has a paragraph about projects not completely they maybe projects in the calendar that have not completed a calendar review you can't take a discretionary review prior to that being completely i want to hear about that in addition not much detail on the specific project a scant advertise about it and nothing voig available on the late night for late night customers how many and where is the information available and in particular the absent the network although i certainly support improvements to the network to the staff in the past

i don't support the expansion to to 48 and 44 short line their cause problems not well-used i think we will spend money that can be used for other services with greater demand and i think there are certainly another late night needs identified in the late night transportation report that you presented recently that could benefit from the funds those specific project again, i'm looking for environmental review. > all in favor, say i. > i. > see i's have it. >> authorizing the director to authorize the purpose of objecting $700 million for

various projects for the california trait grant program and members of the public david propel. >> david propel a member but speaking as an individual once again direct my question to staff i don't believe you t can take action await an environmental review i want to hear our potentially exposing the agency to liability once again the detail on the projects is less than the previous item no detail provided where can a member of the public find out the details of those projects and whether the elements of project make sense and where the grant funds are extended for those purposes. >> okay members of the board motion to approve
