jeff kline for the record i'm opposed to the because it the mistaken assumption the planners are ignored the shift to transit and away from private vehicles by the residents of the treasure island during the past 8 years this shift is due entirely to the muni bus service corresponding to the 2009 transportation plan one hundred of people own the cars compared to the san francisco average of 92 percent but the no idea. >> survey found 61 percent 8 years later of residents have access to a vehicle and thirty percent are car free residents are exceeded the accomplish tida goal we already mold o mode

shifdz tar beyond the goal to 60 percent of people ride muni the access to the bay bridge and parking on treasure island is the fundamental and inflated assumption of at this time this is counter this the economic they are because it is essential by month household and - it is more likely that higher prices will not reduce the demand the demand for high income is by definition unlikely to be elastic since prices is not a factor for the wealth you, you should know where the program is cost effective to creates new openings for the ti project for the land limits of ferry services i urge timma to look at the reduction of green house gas

emissions and capital improvement and construction time while greatly new year the urban condo system attached to the bay bridge i've prepared background information i've shared with supervisor kim office i hope you'll reconsider the failed timma approach and an urban gondola i have copies and be glad to give you the gondolas for the san francisco y b i upon request thank you >> thank you, mr. kline and we'll take our comments seeing no further items on item 9 and 10 public comment is closed. mr. clerk any other items item 11 adjournment. >> the meeting is adjourned w

part of that process. so, there has been a lot of build up to this event and as i was reflecting on this i tried to think of my earliest memory of the bayview opera house. when you talk about history and preservation, one person that comes to mind is my grandfather who raised me. he migrated from the south, punchsed a property on third and [inaudible]-you remember? and he put all his family in the property. the one vivid memory i have is he would walk [inaudible] pick me up from the opera house and save me from ballet class and [inaudible] it

is those moments that shape me. if you look where we are standing to my left you have [inaudible] you have joseph lee jim, 3 strong institutions, cultural institutions, educational institutions in the physical fitness recreation center. 3 vital things i think the community needs and 3 vital things that shape the community and 3 things that we need to thrive. all that to say, that we all have-we take the personal responsibility to make sure that there is arts and culture in the facility and not only preserve the long standing history of many folks who come before me but also welcoming the new folks moving to a

neighborhood and embracing bayview hunters point as their home. this journey will officially begin-i will say this date, september 17th. you can hold us accountable. [applause].

>> welcome to "culturewire." today we are at recology. they are celebrate 20 years of one of the most incredibly unique artist residency programs. we are here to learn more from one of the resident artists. welcome to the show, deborah. tell us how this program began 20 years ago. >> the program began 20 years

ago. our founder was an environmentalist and an activist and an artist in the 1970's. she started these street sweeping campaigns in the city. she started with kids. they had an exhibition at city hall. city officials heard about her efforts and they invited her to this facility. we thought it would coincide with our efforts to get folks to recycle, it is a great educational tool. since then, we have had 95 professional artists come through. >> how has the program changed over the years? how has the program -- what can the public has an artist engage with? >> for the most part, we worked with metal and wood, what you would expect from a program like ours. over the years, we tried to include artists and all types of

mediums. conceptual artists, at installation, photographers, videographers. >> that has really expanded the program out. it is becoming so dynamic right now with your vision of interesting artists in gauging here. why would an artist when to come here? >> mainly, access to the materials. we also give them a lot of support. when they start, it is an empty studio. they go out to the public area and -- we call it the big store. they go out shopping, take the materials that, and get to work. it is kind of like a reprieve, so they can really focus on their body of work. >> when you are talking about recology, do you have the only sculpture garden at the top? >> it is based on work that was done many years ago in new york.

it is the only kind of structured, artist program. weit is beautiful. a lot of the plants you see were pulled out of the garbage, and we use our compost to transplant them. the pathway is lined with rubble from the earthquake from the freeways we tour about 5000 people a year to our facility, adults and children. we talk about recycling and conservation. they can meet the artists. >> fantastic. let's go meet some of your current artists. here we are with lauren. can you tell us how long have been here so far and what you're working on? >> we started our residency on june 1, so we came into the studio then and spent most of the first couple weeks just digging around in the trash.

i am continuing my body of work, kind of making these hand- embroidered objects from our day-to-day life. >> can you describe some of the things you have been making here? this is amazing. >> i think i started a lot of my work about the qualities of light is in the weight. i have been thinking a lot about things floating through the air. it is also very windy down here. there is a piece of sheet music up there that i have embroidered third. there is a pamphlet about hearing dea -- nearing death. this is a dead rabbit. this is what i am working on now. this is a greeting card that i found, making it embroidered. it is for a very special friend. >> while we were looking at this, i glanced down and this is amazing, and it is on top of a

book, it is ridiculous and amazing. >> i am interested in the serendipity of these still life compositions. when he got to the garbage and to see the arrangement of objects that is completely spontaneous. it is probably one of the least thought of compositions. people are getting rid of this stuff. it holds no real value to them, because they're disposing of it. >> we're here in another recology studio with abel. what attracted you to apply for this special program? >> who would not want to come to the dump? but is the first question. for me, being in a situation that you're not comfortable in has always been the best. >> what materials were you immediately attracted to when you started and so what was available here? >> there are a lot of books. that is one of the thing that hits me the most. books are good for

understanding, language, and art in general. also being a graphic designer, going straight to the magazines and seeing all this printed material being discarded has also been part of my work. of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to

2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. everybody is welcome to come out. we have food. sometimes we have gains and bands.

it is great time. from june to september, we accept applications from bay area artists. we encouraged artists from all mediums to apply. we want as many artists from the bay area out here so they can have the same experience. >> how many artists to do your host here? >> 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. very competitive. >> but everyone should be encouraged to apply. thank you again for hosting us. >> thank you for including us in "culturewire." ♪ >> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban

center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i

read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake.

>> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the

ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of

magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover

and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use

the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in

'89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for

so, same time next week? well, of course. this is the regular meeting of san francisco small business commission he would say on monday, july 25, 2016, this meeting is called to order at 2:05 p.m. tonight's hearing is trillion dollar thank you for airing live this meeting viewed an sfgovtv channel 2 or city government members of the public please take this opportunity to silence our electronics devices and public comment is limited for 3

commercial districts with medical uses it runs among sacramento street from spruce to lion and medical officers and concerns that wralt and more active uses are replaced by medical uses they're prohibited on all floors except the business or professional services converted to medical at the going once, going twice with the u this change is in effect and the legislative fact to stop the active use use streets for the professional to medical services is essentially a conversion from office to office and not detrimental to retail active on the center the this is problematic as now the neighborhood is experiencing some businesses that are attempting to become business and professional services only to then convert to medical services that creates a pathway

for the medical services not the intent so at this point supervisor farrell introduced to legislation to close the loophole and working with the city departments for the future neighborhood commercial overall to look at the right balance all over the place and better way to regulated what kind of uses phenomenon the commercial district this ordinance a neighborhood driven and hope we can count on our support thank you for having me. >> you mentioned neighborhood support for this is this a neighborhood initiated. >> it is. >> what, if any opposition has there been. >> there has not been. >> yeah. >> based on the one person. >> does this preclude medical cannabis medical cannabis is a spirit used by the proximity of schools

have been pour the past 3 years my goal in the business community to bring together the merchant and promote safety so for everyone including the people that come to the neighborhood and trying to create for o more traffic for the district and more appealing for anyone to come and visit us things come and go and businesses close for different reasons we have a charming business district one of the strengths we add to the city what we have to offer, however, i've been challenged i had to leave any business to come here in the middle of the day to actually try to promote the very viable needs to protect small businesses you would think that is built into everything we're trying to do but 23468 i think

that because reality is so challenging in the city the small business district are appealing 09 types of businesses we find ourselves having to occasionally be challenged and protect what those neighborhoods are about so as a small business owner as someone that is trying hard to create a great a business district that you know maintains part of viable for years and years to come we need to make sure this little loophole is closed so that i don't have to find myself constantly defending the commercial district with great retail businesses a lot folks that common i'm a pro change but i find myself not wanting to have the gaps of lack of traffic and businesses closed because of

traffic we're seeing more and more of and to such a degree that people are disappointed when they start seeing and longer a longer gap so i just wanted to put that in front of you and also a member of the neighborhood board the association neighbors and your current president bill is away on family vacation so couldn't be here our former president charley he's away as well so just one quick note just our goal with the presidio heats association to have only businesses and services on the ground floor we realize that's a simple statement we're hoping that you'll support us and close that loophole thank you. >> thank you. any anyone wish to comment on item number on this item seeing none, commissions.

need on that particular topic. >> all right. susan. >> commissioner president dwight thank you for having me. i'm here today representing representative as a small business owner and long rent born and raised of mission district and have a letter drafted as our president says have it in writing so drafted a letter hope you'll agree how it effects small business and let me start by reading so i would like to urge that we support a process to make an informal process when was middle parking with the delores to be a form process let me even if review the letter we support memoranda parking with the mission corridor after a year the stakeholders reached a contention to allow for the

continuation of memoranda park with agreed on modifications, however, the new residents not familiar with the route of the culture traditions of the neighborhood have so you get to accomplish the process one stakeholder which was by the way, myself was absent given the parking with the majorities voted against the agreed upon proposal not only an additional obstacle for those who come to the neighborhood for gashthsdz by the small businesses in the corridor will be harmed the longtime organizations if the mission are chord tenants with the regional shops and before returning to their homes outside the city with gentrification and displacement few have opportunity to visit the mission and not found in chain stores -

the memoranda parking has been more difficult for customers who rely on private transportation to complete such shopping trips particularly for consumers and those who purchase a large volume of merchandise and medium parking is an inconvenience but people are being displaced from the neighborhoods because of nutrition u gentrification those preserve the traditions the ability for customers to revisit and transport the good idea to their homes is essential for the connects of longer customers given the skaters of the public parking it operationally is a viable option in essence i want to say look those institutions were expanded in a commenced neighborhood and been the anchor tenants when the mission was

dangerous new residents have a right and now have been adapted the mission district and the small business corridor is a regional corridor with a lot of ethnic businesses and medium parking constitutes a primary reason those people traveled into san francisco and the mission district not only this is a gentrification but to small businesses small businesscan't you to agree the reason that was vote against i the equalizing vote had a familiar emergency and this is public information where the minutes were recorded and are posted on sfgov website.

>> has the mta in - are they in agreement with our plan to i mean have you worked a plan to accommodate their need. >> for over the year they were the facilitator and everyone in the community came and this practice is an informal practice that let the stakeholders to make it a formal practice those institutions understand that the committee was an inclusionary they know what the residents wanted and say we've been here before california existed some institutions were here before san francisco were so they tried and we did come up with a process and sfmta facilitated letting us know you know given us idea for a strurtsd process

so as a result what you're asking for it is median parking that is permit during a timespan on a sunday or - >> correct we came to the contention come up with a formal process that is something that is happening informally to make everybody happy on all sides. >> commissioners, any questions. >> this is going on as long as i remember in the mission and always worked and . >> and it happens in other neighborhoods that are more influential i would like to say politically perhaps so it is funny that a community that has been gentrified out and small business english as a second language are targeted that's the greatest impact regarding this proposal. >> i have a question has been

the case for many, many years on sunday's; correct? >> yeah. >> specially on van ness when did this practice stop. >> it's not stopped. >> so the same an delores street; correct? >> correct. >> does the present practice violate parking code. >> not enforced. >> so, yeah. >> so instead of making again an informal process we're like hey stakeholders make that formal and listen to everything whether you live here two or three years a lot of the oldest stakeholders want to view the community and urban design part of the process there was a consensus that was reached to formalize the parking and the business community is in favor
