new business item when the time is right for sb50 sort of post-event discussion about the successes, the key learnings, any room for improvement. there will certainly be some in the aftermath of this, opportunities for improvement as we consider our next superbowl 50 and any other major events. we never really did, i don't think, a particularly good post-event review of the america's cup. there was a lot of ax grinding over it because it was costly but we didn't really do a really good deep dive on why it wasn't as successful as it might have been. clearly the superbowl is a totally different class of event and a totally different appeal to the general public than very expensive yachts out a mile off the shore. so i think it will be really interesting to really convene a real conversation
2:26 am
about what we've learned and i think again getting to what we can do to take advantage of other events as they come because i think between sf beer week and superbowl 50, it has never been on my radar screen the way you can hook into these things the way some of the neighborhoods are today and i think that's great. i think this would be a good place for us to review those, as well as hear any grievances that people have after the fact. a lot of speculative grievances right now, but let's wait and see what happens come monday, tuesday morning when everyone has sort of recovered from it all and come to grips with whatever inconvenience they had to deal with but really then assess what the effect was. all right? so that will be, again, as i say, not a specific date but let's memorialize it as a new business item for the future. any other new business? and like wietz i think we should make sure that we reserve time for commissioner zouzounis to
2:27 am
report on their findings as she is researching formula retail and the tobacco legislation and her needs. all right. >> seven-11's that are popping up. >> move on to item 15 which is adjournment and commissioner white are you wanting to do the closing announcement? >> to bookend our meeting i want to remind people that the san francisco office of small business is the only, i repeat the only place to start your new business in san francisco and you can either go there in person, we have a very friendly staff at the desk at city hall to meet with you in person or, even better yet, in your pajamas you can visit us on the internet, we have a great web site and lots of information there. but do not go any place else before you look there because that's the place to start. our advice is free,
2:28 am
it's thorough and it's the most informed advice you can get about starting a new business in san francisco. >> got one quick other thing too. i want to mention that jane gong, who used to work in our office, is also a recipient of the good government awards which will be held in march so congratulations, i want to make it official, congratulations to jane gong on her being honored with a good government award for her work with the business portal. >> she's done a great job on that. also just to remind people that we are open for new business here and the way to get new business on our agenda, the best way is to come here for public comment at the beginning of each meeting we ask the public if they have any comments on things that are not presenting on our agenda, it's a great way to recommend new items that we might either do some research on and/or discuss at our meetings. with that i will use my gavel to adjourn the meeting. >> do we have a motion to

2:55 am
them more visible other crosswalks and intersections are raised to the level of sidewalk to actress as speed bump and people are maybe crossing be cautious and watch for people when you approach any intersection advanced limit lines and pedestrian yield signs show drivers where people walk and stop behind the lines at stop signs and for people crossing bulb outs where the sidewalks extends into the street make that tease easy to see pedestrians and remember to slow down whether making reasons and watch for people on sidewalk estimations extensions that maybe closer than you expect and
2:56 am
bicyclists may motive to the left to get around bulb outs this gives people a head start allowing pedestrians to enter the crosswalk before transfer starts moving makes them more visible pedestrian scrimmage and stop the vehicles in all directions allow people to cross including department of building inspection scrambles are paired with no light restriction and rapid beacons you turn bright whether the pedestrians are there or the center is activated precede slowly as you approach the beacons especially, if their activated a pedestrian crossing light turns yellow before turning sold red back to flash red procedure after making a full stop as long as the
