such closed unit and overwhelmingly the response i received frequently was do not build i enjoy the stadium don't want the traffic and no parking the bart station didn't go in that direction more people will be driving in number one the concern is to definitely avoid the traffic congestion one employee said when they say droifz out of a parking lot it takes him 30 minutes to drive one block and two or two half an hour to get out of the area to catch the freeway the infrastructure is not suited for a stadium not suited to bring in 18 thousand fans into this area a nurse mentions her concerns which are how are the emergency

vehicles going to access in and out of the area there's no plan and if there is it's not been communicated that's the problem and the latest i want to talk about what responsible development looks like in san francisco not just the problem with the stadium but in san francisco in general what does it look like for the councilmember brooks traffic is a problem and the quality of life for all of san francisco thank you. >> thank you. >> hello commissioners. i'm kirk the executive director of rock real option for kids and in visitacion valley over 20 years and will also a castro hill residents i'm a birthday supporter of the warriors i know

been taken off the table surface r as far as quality of life we're evolving and finding the city is green and this is a chance to put housing next to work and play and the place that this can happen can create a new place that is environmentally aware and sensitive to our surrounding a lead goal certified construction with offices to mitigate hundred percent of green house gas emissions and again we shouldn't look through the lens of the automobile and what might have been construction in the 1990s i support this project and so does our association thank you very much. >> thank you, commissioners i'm kathy i live in mission bay with any husband and daughter and
