employed deeply offensive practices, and we continue to do so now. parenthetically, i am unaware of any other country that is free of this. i appreciate the opportunity to provide my comments to the school board, and i hope they take everyone's comments, not just this commission's but all of the member of the public, as well. i think there is a really significant difference in how we treat history, represent it, and learn from it. to me, there is a huge difference between a monument, say a robert e. lee sculpture with him charging on his horse, waving the confederate flag placed prominently in a town square, and the murals at george washington high school. monuments are intended to inspire and celebrate the exploits of a person, typically

a man, almost always a man, and how he vanquished an enemy or conquered a new land that turned out not to be uninhabited, and monuments, that is their goal, that is their purpose. by contrast, murals like this provide a narrative, a much more complete story that often contains the good and the bad of a particular period to remind and critically inform us of this period, or in this case, the imperfect life of our first president. so while i can understand how aspects of murals are really offensive to some people, on a whole, they provide context to the people and times shown, and serve as a reminder of our greatly flawed history in a different way than a celebratory monument does. i also want to quickly address

the federal art project and the administration aspect of this discussion. both were phenomenally successful programs in our history, and it boosted the nation's economy when we needed it, and it provided employment for many builders and artisans across the country. we have bridges and buildings and artwork, and some of them have preserved uncomfortable aspects of our history, such as dorothy lange's new deal to form the security administration, photos of poverty. nobody looking at them will misunderstand how difficult it was to be a sharecropper in the twenties. without that, without those photos, i don't think we would have that level of understanding i also want to mention that this school campus exists as an intact collaboration between an extraordinary san francisco architect and a notable artist of the period, which is really rare, and very worth preserving.

architects and artisans don't get to work together and collaborate together to this extent very often. finally, i want to mention that i would love dewey's crumpler -- dewey crumpler's response. it is like a poetry smacked down where both sides get to put their best visual forward. i would like to challenge the school board and the students to collaborate on a mural of their own about their own lives in 2019 where they can show the things they think are good about their lives, whether it is a good class, first love, whatever it is that they want to show, but also the stuff that is bad about their lives. maybe it's bullying, maybe its discrimination, whatever they think is important. it is important that we allow people expression of what they

feel in a time and place. after thinking long and hard about this, it is my opinion that these murals should not be literally whitewashed, which would instead be preserved and shown, supported by a student mural or at least additional commentary from the students, singh what they want to say about the murals. and a minimum, the murals should be protected in situ. i also want to say, i appreciate the information provided by heritage. he gives us a lot of tools for the school board to follow. some of them not at all expensive, and i encourage them to take all of this information in and i appreciate the opportunity to provide the comments. >> thank you. >> thank you. initially i did have a question i wanted to ask mr. miguel.

i understand there was a poll taken recently. i think it was referred to in the sunday chronicle. are you familiar with that pole? it was a poll of students. >> excuse me, i do know about it a little bit. out of the 17, i believe 11 said to leave them. of the six, i believe there were two african-american students who had some issues with it, and i believe there was two or three asian students who said, i don't care. i forget the 17th person. but there has been a lot of commentary about what the students feel. there's been essays written, class instruction last spring, and i believe one of the teachers had 305 or 40 students,

and three quarters of them said to leave them alone. everyone is skittish about this. i am not. they talk about the oppressed people that go to this school, there's four native american students that go to a 2200 person school, 65 or 67% of the student body is asian, and i believe it is under 11% that are african-american. there's been a lot of commentary about people speaking on behalf of first nation people entirely, or the african-american community, and i can tell you real quickly that is not the case. come out soon. these things even about reverend brown, he said a week ago, not one person can talk about the african community, and he was speaking on behalf of the naacp. >> okay.

see it is interesting to me because there's a lot that's -- a law that has been made that these murals must be hidden, if not completely destroyed. and the interest of the feelings of the students. normally, i don't think the feelings of the students are necessarily the end of the question. i do think that was very interesting to me. it was also interesting when i reread our statement that we prepared in connection with the land marking. and that noted that in october of 1968, there was a student protest about the scenes, and the question there returned when

nearly half the student body reportedly showed that less than 20% of the students voted to have the murals removed, well 61 centigrade that supplementing them with additional depictions of african-american history was the preferred -- while 60 1% -- well 61% was supplementing them with additional depictions of african-american history was the preferred way. they do not feel they need to be protected from this. the 1968 response really was that there should be more discussion. i personally have always felt, when it comes to issues of free speech, that there is hateful speech, -- if there is hateful speech, the remedy for that is there should be more speech from people who were involved, not

less speech. if there is less speech, then there will eventually be no speech, and we won't recognize that there was a part of a hit -- our history that is not what we today think that it ought to have been, or perhaps wish that it had been, so i'm very sympathetic to the idea that these murals do provide teaching techniques. now i have read that there is, that these murals aren't used as a teaching technique. in my opinion, this represents a second failure of our school board. the first failure is that they are not interested in education or a free exchange of ideas, but they are interested in doing

what i think they feel, for people of their generation, is the convenient way to handle controversy, which is to make it a political issue, and then decide based upon politics. i don't think that's a good idea for the school board. it happens a lot, but i rather wish that it wouldn't. but the other failure is that with a magnificent textbook, and magnificent starting place, or a discussion, of what were the values of the 18th and 19th century america, the school board has simply done nothing. they ought to take advantage, in my opinion, of this wonderful asset right at their feet or above their heads.

now this commission spent a lot of time and effort on the question of land marking the schools. that time and effort was spent in days when the murals were not controversial. the controversy of the sixties had settled down. we were interested in looking at several schools, buildings, for other reasons. we found that, in our statement of significance, which page is 87, we listed why we thought washington was significant, and the ultimate paragraph says, finally, george washington high school is significant as a property characterized by high artistic values, as home to four

new murals and one outdoor freeze. all were sponsored by the w. t.a. federal art project. the artist who executed these murals -- the artists who executed these murals may george washington high school one of the most important composite tories of new deal artwork in san francisco. well, having said that this was one of the most significant, or one of the things that made george washington high school significant, i don't think that we can now say to the contrary. and on page 90 of that same report, we listed the murals as

a character defining feature of that high school. every generation gets to make its mark, and certainly, the 19 th century historians made there's. in the thirties, it didn't matter if he was a formal or informal communist, this also shouldn't be the end of the discussion, particularly considering what has happened to communism in our lifetimes. they have run out of other people's money, so the point is that each generation can have it say in interpreting -- can have its say in interpreting history.

i think it is a bit arrogant of one generation to simply dismiss and want to paint over the plots -- the thoughts and feelings that drove an earlier generation it is fine to be critical of it, it is wonderful to analyse it, but to obliterate it, no, i don't think so. i would not be in favor of whitewashing murals, painting murals, putting them behind curtains so that we only let older people on tours see them and deprive younger people who could benefit from them, from that experience. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and i would like you to put that in your record. [laughter]. >> i will. i just had another question form is ferguson. i was not able to attend this august 13th school board meeting when this decision was

made, and i was just wondering, i'm assuming that they didn't define what cover-up means at that meeting, they did not? >> i didn't attend the meeting either so i can't explain anything on that point. >> and then i was wondering, i think it is unanimous that the commission is definitely in favor of seeing how we could preserve the murals as is, and i was wondering if you could give us some consul -- council about how we as a commission can use our best efforts to make sure that we try whatever we can to make this happen, or at least, in some way, make our concerns very vocal and make it much more public to the general population about what we are feeling about this. we are the historic preservation commission and we believe in preserving history, and yes, i find it very offensive to look at these murals as a person of

color, and i think alice walker, and i would recommend everyone go and listen to her interview that they did. it is on youtube right now. it is about making this a teaching moment. don't cover it up. these kids are resilient enough to understand what is right and what is wrong, let's make this a teaching moment, so i want to know what we can, as a commission what we can do to make sure we do whatever we can to make this a teaching moment for the school board and for everyone else who may have some feelings against this to keep history alive. i don't need to put you on the spot, but i'm looking for some tools that we can use. it is good for us to talk, and it is good for us to be in consensus about this, but we really need to think about some serious and concrete steps to move forward. >> i think here there's been some terribly passionate and

clear and well articulated discussion about the imperative itself. we do have a designation in process, which if the commission were to potentially attempt to influence the forwarding of that , it would provide yet another public forum to have further discussion and yet another slightly broader spotlight on the issue. you've got your letter in the record and for the board, and certainly we will all keep an eye on any future related hearings, actions, or opportunities to intervene in that way. >> can i ask something that might contribute to that question? one of the things that i think we should have in this letter is the question and how do we participate in the process of

studying what to do now. [please stand by]

>> clerk: you could certainly have it agendaized. >> one thing i was curious about from the staff perspective, if we have an understanding what the school board's action would require from our perspective if we were doing the ceqa review. >> that was one of my questions. >> if we were going to destroy the mural, from our perspective, we would be needing an e.i.r. in this case, covering it up, we could look at it in our jurisdiction. it's nonbinding, but we could give a question of what would be appropriate steps under ceqa. >> that would be my question. miss vanderslice, what's your

opinion? >> allison vanderslice. you know, the planning department has determined that the high school is a historic resource and that the murals are character defining features, and so that regard, it would be our opinion that there would be a potential impact under ceqa. it's my understanding that the school board would therefore need to do ceqa review. >> so one further question. where are we at in the actual process of the landmarking? have we heard it twice and forwarded it on or in between? >> that's my understanding but shannon can take the questions on the landmarking. >> thank you. >> so it has been initiated and recommended to the board of supervisors? it has also been introduced at the board of supervisors. it has not been scheduled for committee hearing. >> okay. so that's something we could

ask for an update on. commissioner johns? >> commissioner johns: well, in connection with our duties to advise the board of supervisors, maybe we could -- you know, supervisor fewer, in this district, was formerly on the school board. remember that? >> yeah. >>. >> commissioner johns: so we might be able to ask -- solicit her opinion about how the school board works, and so that with that bit of knowledge, we might be able to better advise the entire board of supervisors. >> i volunteer president hyland and myself to make sure that we make that appointment to go see -- >> you took the words right out of my mouth. >> so we'll do that. so the last thing that i have to say on this is that i was

going to recommend another mural be either commissioned or competition amongst the students or some other suggestion, so thank you for that, commissioner black. i think it's time for this generation to have their say in this continuing story. >> can i make a quick suggestion related to that? we live in a very technological time, and news and rumors move very quickly. but here's the teaching moment. every year, the students of the school decide or every four years or whatever, and do a digital mural that then, you know, is captured on the school's website, and potentially, you put together a book of these things so that every single generation, not just the runs from 1968 and -- you know, that get the voice

and the ones now, that all of them get the voice. that's the teaching that is missing from this whole conversation. >> okay. so what we'll do, commissioner ma -- mizuna and i will work with staff officers. >> and once we have better information, we reagendaize it here. >> we can certainly do that. >> then, we can send to the board of supervisors. >> well, at the very least, we would report back to the commission. >> and commissioners, would you like to see this letter before

we send it out or do you trust me? >> we trust you to do that. >> thanks, everybody, for your comments. >> clerk: if there's nothing further, commissioners, item 8, for the better market street project, this is an informational presentation. >> commissioners, i'd like to introduce this item. from the planning department staff, i'm annemarie rogers, planning department citywide project. this ambitious and challenging project seeks to accomplish many goals, including improving safety for all users of the street, improving transit performance is a key goal. replacing ageing infrastructure as it comes up as a critical

issue as well as revising the corridor and landscape. -- streetscape. currently, the draft environmental impact was published last february, and our environmental planning department are working on preparing a response to comments document which will be published sometime this fall. today's representatives of the project team are here to answer any questions that you might have on the concept designs of the street. i'd like to introduce the project manager, kristina olague from the planning department. >> good afternoon, commissioners. kristina olague, project manager, planning department.

this project stretches long market street from stewart to octavia boulevard. we presented at the architectural review committee earlier this year. we're here today to provide an informational presentation which makes up for the may 20 joint meeting with civic design review. our presentation is divided into three sections: exiting conditions and the need for the project, an overview of better market street, as well as the design details. we'll address historic preservation throughout the presentation. now i'd like to introduce nicolle bonn, executive director of the mayor's office on disability. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm nicolle bonn, and i'm the executive director of the

mayor's office on disability, and i've been asked to speak of the disability improvements that the better market street project will allow for. one of the things that we know when we provide for better accessibility, we provide safety for everyone, so this project is going to allow us to update and renew our projectable warnings. for transit islands improvements, our current transit islands unfortunately do not meet straight accessibility requirements. we want to make sure or ramps are requirements. we want to have appropriate signals and bicyclist paths and navigation. we know that market is a high consumer area for people with disabilities. it's also one of our high injury corridors, and fatalities have included wheelchair users, unfortunately. we have a very large

demographic of people with disabilities in san francisco, 90,000 according to the american public survey. it's probably more than that. we know that at least half are under the age of 65 and folks with disabilities are using this area and to a high degree using public transportation. specifically, too, some of our requirements under title 2 of the americans with disabilities act, which is what the mayor's office on disabilities helps to oversee citywide in terms of project compliance, this will allow us to provide for the appropriate color contrast between our accessibility elements. and then also, i already mentioned we need to make sure we have compliant transit island. and we also have an obligation under title two to make sure

that all features are accessible in a public right-of-way to everyone to the greatest extent feasible. so one of the things, again, that this project will do are provide for better mobility, safety, and accessibility. one of the things that we look at in terms of our paver material in terms of providing accessibility is making sure that our surface texture and roughness are consistent and allow for some degree of slip resistance. we need to make sure that we have appropriate contrast. i mentioned that before, and making sure that the joint spacing in between our pavers are usable and ideally pane free to folk wis with

disabilities. part of the reason i mention that pane is we did some consumer outreach to folks with disabilities, and we learned some things on the current brick pavers. we know that we replaced them, and there are current locations, and when they become loose, their trip hazards. we know that we need differing color contrasts again between our different surfaces. we found especially that the brick, especially when it's raining, are very slippery and to the point about this pane, one of the things that we've learned is that when you have pavers that are spaced to the degree that our current pavers are, the level of vibration that that causes especially for electric mobility devices can be painful for folks. so that's a very quick overview

of some of the accessibility features. i will allow my krecolleagues m the public works to continue and then i'm happy to answer any questions. >> okay. thank you. >> as public works, we're stewards of the public right-of-way and we're responsible for the safety of our residence dents and visito. this slide shows why the need to improve safety and accessibility on market street is an important part of our mobility goal. market street is on the city's high injury network. the collision rate in the project area is over 20 times the state average. the corridor also contains three of the five worst intersections for cyclist and car intersections, and two of the top intersections for pedestrian and car injuries. we also know there is a high

concentration of vulnerable people, including children and seniors with disabilities who live and work along the corridor. in 2010, the partner department set three project goals: place, project, and market development. for mobility, the goal is to provide safety and accessibility for everyone using market street, and under economic development or goal is to improve transportation. we're also replacing our failing infrastructure which is nearing the end of its useful life, including water, sewer, passive poles, paving, even the brick is worn in some areas.

and then, marie mentioned we've held five rounds of community out yaech since 2011. on you are last round of outreach was in june in we held outreach on market street? we're currently conducting outreach beyond the project limits, and that is west of octavia. we'd like to invite them to a public outreach at sanchez elementary next tuesday from 6:30 to 7:30. we've also held popups at the strand theater and we have a committee that meets regularly. some highlights on our schedule, we are scheduled to attend the planning commission in october for certification of our environmental impact report. we expect to have some of our key project approvals somewhere in october? our nepa certification we

expect to have early next year. our first phase of construction is market between 5th and 8th street. we'll be advertising the contract march of 2020, and we expect construction to last two years, from 2020 to 2022. this is a cross-section of the proposed better market design. starting at the building phase, we have a six-foot frontage zone, pedestrian through way that's a minimum of 10 feet wide. we have a delineation zone to separate the bikeway from the pedestrian area. our bikeway's approximately 8 feet throughout the corridor at sidewalk level, and then we have a buffer between the bikeway and the road way. the bikew

the -- we are replacing the bricks with accessible pavers that meet our current standards. for the delineation zone, we needed to identify a profile or a geometry that was detectible by cane and by foot. to conduct this, we conducted a separation study at pier 38 with testing happening in june and july of this year. we tested three different profiles in two widths. you can see them on the left side of the slide. there is a trapezoid, a truncated dome, and a slide.

the study recommends using the trapezoidal shape, so the one on the top left. with that, i'll introduce john dennis, our landscape architect from san francisco public works. >> thank you. yeah, i'm john dennis, urban designer for the landscape streetscape project, and i'd like to introduce myself as the grandson of a conductor on the railway, george houcka. i'm honored to be entrusted with a most important endeavor which is redesigning and

managing our most important street. i'll start by providing an overview of paving. i'll give you an overview of all of the basic design elements and some of the details. so better market street project will repave the entire section of market street from building phase to building phase using concrete unit pavers at sidewalks, including the pedestrian through zone, the street life zone, and the curb side and center transit stops and boarding islands as shown on this section here. the sidewalk level bikeway is proposed to be paved with asphalt to provide a contrasted material to help separate bicycle and pedestrians use areas. the muni only lanes at the center of the diagram will be paved with integrally colored concrete similar to the 3rd street walkways and as proposed

for the vanness street project, as well. and then finally the road way curbs and the central boarding island curbs will reuse the existing sierra granite white curbs that exist on the street today. here's a basic diagram of our proposed paving design as it plays out on a majority of the corridor using concrete pavers that are aligned in both directions with two different sized pavers, 4-inch by 12-inch pavers, and 12-ink by 24-inch pavers. i brought a sample of the proposed paver, showing color and finish, if anyone is interested in seeing that. this slide shows a

visualization of what the street would look like with the proposed unit pavers in a pattern that's both linear and aligned with different scale paver used in the frontage and street light zone. the detectible delainiation zone that kristina described will be installed between the buffer zone and the pedestrian bikeway. so ever since mr. jasper o'farrell laid out a plan in 1847, the marrying of the dischordant map of streets north of market street and south of market street has created unique conditions on market street. this has resulted in attractive buildings. it has resulted in unique view

sheds to the north and to the west, and also opportunities for plaza spaces. we think these intersections provide an opportunity to celebrate the unique geometry of our street, and we've incorporated this also into our paving design. this plan view diagram illustrates our proposal to use a pave shade of paver at these nexus intersection using the same size and pattern as the rest of the corridor, and we're proposing to create a sierra white granite band where the two materials come together. and here's a close-up view showing some of the detail at those intersections. and this sketch provides an overview of how those many components will come together,

including streetlights, street trees, sight furnishings, etc. so start out with a discussion on street trees, we conducted an analysis of the existing trees on market street. many -- it's no surprise that many of them are struggling for survival, and we wanted to understand why, and which of those trees are worthy of saving and which of the trees are recommended for replacement. we convened a market street tree working group to identify this. and one of the recommendations of that group was to -- that we should introduce diversity into the urban forest on market street in order to better prepare ourselves for unknown challenges related to climate change, unforeseen disease and pest infestations. and so the current market

street uses only one genus species of tree. the market street recommended one species and providing a short list of species for use on market which include sycamore, elm, oak, and bris babri brisbane box. and i should note that a proposed 200 box are proposed to be protected because they are in good health and of good structure. and so our basic proposal on how to introduce this diversity is the light green band shown on the diagram. that's where our deciduous

trees would be, and then on different corners, we can introduce a different tree that might be more susceptible to the high winds at those intersections and also ameliorate those conditions year-round. so here is the tree, same size and shape with the mature size, but diversity. and that diversity would coincide with our nexus intersections. and here's a little closer look of what that might look like. and other trees would be

provided at other islands and intersections. the western swallowtail butterfly is one of the insects that lives on market street and we want to ensure its survival and and encourage the health of other beneficial pollenators on the corridor. so we call this sidewalk use zone between the pedestrians through way and the bikeway the street life zone. and this zone ranges between four and 20 feet wide and is about 20 feet and length. our street trees and lights are lined up with this zone, and this zone also accommodates all of the elements that bring life to the street, including art vendors, bike share pods, mobile food vendors, florists, shoe shine stands. they're all located in this

space. also new b.a.r.t. portals, and the newly designed rest rooms and kiosks will also share this zone. on the picture is a depiction of the seismic wave bus shelters, that we've talked to clear channel regarding what options we might have with the view. one is we can go with a different colored roof on the bus shelter, and we're proposing to go with a clear roof rather than the yellow that exists today. so those new site furnishings are all of a family of silver stainless galvanized steel, so all the proposals that we have,

we'll require that they relate to the current sight furnishings, including leaning rails, which will allow bicyclists to lean at intersections, and way finding signage that promotes walkability and of course bike racks. our project will increase the number of bike racks on market street by quite a bit. [please stand by]

>> these images would aim to illustrate the history of the street and would include 308 plus historic architectural resources along market street, as well as stories about the civic engagement, the importance of civic engagement on market street can be illustrated, also, easily. as well as more individual human stories of people who have coincided with market street. the lighting is very important, but i won't go into too much detail about it today except to say that our path of gold lights will continue to provide the light for market street as they have for more than 100 years. the luminaires will be upgraded

to energy conserving l.e.d., and the p.u.c. is conducting a pilot right now to test light color, light levels, and the constructibility of those new fixtures. in addition, we will be replacing all of the polls poles on market street, in a slightly larger size, which will necessitate the need to recast the basis, and i brought a color chip of the color that the p.u.c. recommends this is based on their analysis of the existing fixtures that they have. finally, public art will be incorporated into the project. we're still working with the arts commission on exactly what that public art component will be, and what the budget and scope will be for that artwork, but it could be -- they could

partner with us on this element of the historic element being added to the best shelters, but it could be used to refurbish some of the historical landmarks that are under their jurisdiction, along market street, or could provide a new piece of art, or a number of new pieces of art, or even a rotating piece of art on market street. i just wanted to close with a slight -- a fly through video that depicts market street as proposed and note the granite curb that is the edge between the roadway and the sidewalk will be straight, it will be, appear to be very similar to what it is today. it is actually -- the roadway is

tightened by about 2 feet on each side, so the sidewalks, including the bikeways, will be wider than they are today. you can see the importance of that furnishing zone and separating the uses of market street. thank you. >> great. is that the end of the presentation? >> yeah. >> commissioners, do you have any questions for staff or presenters? >> san francisco does not have a very good record for maintaining streetscapes that are planted. they have a good record recently for putting them in, and then neglecting them. have you considered that aspect? it would be a shame to have a

lovely design and watch it go to sing. >> of course. all of the design decisions are made with one of the primary considerations being durability and maintenance. we have a number of potential partners along market street with the many c.b.d.s that exist some of them even overlap on market street, and they have all expressed a willingness to join us in having to maintain those plantings, and also we are investigating whether we can make some design guidelines that require planting, for instance at a café seating zone. many cities require incorporation of healthy planted material in those café seating delineator his. san francisco does not currently

, but i think that that would go a long way to greening market street. >> and watering it, too. >> and watering it. >> thank you. >> great. i have several questions and then we will open up to public comment. could you talk a little bit about the color of the bike lane and is it going to be asphalt the entire lane, will there be any green paint on that? where is that? >> the proposal is an asphalt bikeways so it would be the regular black color of asphalt. m.t.a. has said they will need to put some markings on it, but they do not intend to paint it green the way it is today, so that is the intent. >> okay. >> where the bike weight meets the roadway there will be green markings to help clarify how those areas are shared. >> like where they have to stop and wait for traffic? >> yes. >> and then you mentioned in your presentation of the

conflicts and the accidents with bikes and with pedestrians. can you give us a little more detail on who is colliding with who? bikes are colliding with what and pedestrians are being hit by who? >> sure. i don't have all the breakdown of the collisions, but east of eighth street, there is no bicycle lien right now. it turns -- it is in the same lane with transit and vehicles and delivery vehicles. so there are several collisions that are happening between bicycles and any other vehicle that is in that shared lane. a lot of the pedestrian collisions happen with vehicles. it is vehicle and pedestrian. we have had quite a few this year, and several on market street, fifth and market was a pedestrian, and a car that hit a pedestrian. we also, as nicole mentioned, there has been vehicles that have hit people with

disabilities. there was a woman who passed away a few years ago after being hit by a car that turned from seventh onto market, so it is a combination. there's a lot of collisions. there are more than their fair share, first street with the characteristics of market street , but it is bicycles, it is pedestrians, it is vehicles, and it is transit vehicles, as well. >> and our bikes and pedestrians colliding? >> i think there's conflicts, i don't know how may collisions there have been because the bicycles do tend to be in the roadway and the bicycles are having conflicts with vehicles or transit vehicles. >> in particular in the disability community, one of the challenges with vision zero data

is that because of hippo requirements, we don't know exactly where folks with disabilities are. so that said, one of the things that we hear from the disability communities that we want to make sure that we have detectable and contrasted surfaces, especially with bicyclists and pedestrians because we have heard anecdotally that people with disabilities, especially our community, has been in conflict with bicyclists, or have a lot of fear of safely transverse thing our streets and sidewalks because of that fear of being hit. we also know that our vision zero data only is collecting fatal or near fatal injuries that requires hospitalization, so we are not collecting other

data around south reporting right now, and we anticipate that the pedestrian and bicyclist collisions between folks with disabilities and bicyclists is underreported for this reason. >> thank you. a few other questions. on your diagrams, they use zones , and in previous presentations you had plans of lengths of market street, and in in this presentation, all i saw was the linearity, is that a word? everything seems to be parallel, and i know that the bike lane zigzags in and out along market street. do you have anything current that shows us what that pattern looks like now? >> i pulled up a slide with a cross-section. we didn't include any plan views is there anything in the appendix?

>> the sections are the best case scenario, they are not the bottlenecks. >> the sections will show how the bike lane shifts, but i think the fly through video shows it. >> i didn't see any, even in the fly view. >> i can explain where it shifts where we have shifting of the bike lanes, or the bike way is where we have other facilities that we can't move. so the bart portals will force the bike way to shift towards the center lane of the road. where we have transit islands in the center of the roadway, it pushes the bike way towards the building face, and then where we have loading zones, the bike way will go on the outside of the loading zone. so that is where you see the meandering of the bikeway,
