(background noise.) >> hello. >> hello can you hear me? we can hear you i'm sorry, i interested in comments not about the park trails. >> that was coming up.

>> okay. so- >> yeah. just raise your hand again, when that one comes up. >> sorry. >> no worries next speaker. >> >> hi, good morning can you hear me? >> hi, thank you for this time this morning and 2010 a jeff and (unintelligible) shown i won't take much of your time teresa mentioned we live a couple of blocks from alioto mini park and purposing walk around that. dbe given the state balanced it is in and really so many negativity

there and as mentioned and throughout the day and including the night i want to voice i will support for changing the hours. >> thank you for your time i agree with everyone will be a great but things to be done to make that more beautiful park throughout the rest of the city and so thank you, again. and i hope you have a great rest of the week. >> thank you. >> and sfgov oh, thank you for anticipating and no further comment public comment is closed. . thank you. >> commissioner hallisy. >> lamont thank you, that was a good presentation and bob and deferring is a i appreciate you being here in-person and hearing jeff call if i know you couldn't

be here in-person but read his letter the communication on this topic was given to the commission. and every single letter that i read was in support of the change of hours i'm curious the general manager maybe a question more for you telethon lamont you have four years you have a little bit more experience has this ever heap you remember we were actually changs the hours slung the hours than any other place. >> actually, yes mr. ryu commissioner in 2016 the board of supervisors passed a legislation for the first time codifying the hours and one process in the park code in the way it happened. before that

feels often in conversation with the community their hours were determined for park and posted that was it but as it turns out advised the city we- that the signs were not enough and needed to codify the park hours and pretty passionate debate and board of supervisors and the commissioners were here when it went through the rec & park and we were the only job city in the country with no codified hours. we tried to do with a couple of things which was grandfather or grand person and parents many existing where the community has something that was different than the basic park hours that

our parks are closed between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. and we waved that in and then in the time since i think four or five times we have come to this commission often in partnerships with the supervisors or responses to modify the existing park hours. and so while the- one to 5 hours are 0 the base hours over 65 parks have various changes to that this is not exceptional but sad and we have someone to say more about that dba not giving us joy but the first immediate step with staff

taking a look at things we could possible do one other situations where you're in for a penny or pound a lot of work to be done and so, you know, a very small mini park and important to the community i will see that my observations are consistent with the public comment i heard about the playground. >> so i think the first step we want to work on figure out is a way for more community gardens assets for the community gardens and at some point and we need to figure out funding sources to a engage the community in a conversation about the space. and then figure out how to fund it a long term endeavor i don't want to have the illumination

we'll fix it tomorrow but try to do something that we can do outcome short of a full scale multi million dollar renovation but the law enforcement component how involved and aware any plans going forward to show definitely include them and the presence of alioto mini park and certainly that neighborhood will be beneficial to. >> partnerships with the station we want our spaces to, you know, to feel safe. >> and that term is defined in a variety of ways so we work closely with the station our park rangers are great and the challenges that the entire city hesitate with respect to the

unhealthy or anti social bother not a quick fix to arrest people i want to say to, you know, i think our community gardeners are a big part of the solution they're there consisting and care about the state and cultivate so after the conclusion step we're going to lean in heavily with the garner community to figure out what we can do within the constraint regarding the accessibility and some of the structures that ultimately change to figure out how to square the community gardeners and this one is definitely n my head and though a small park a very small park

that is nevertheless, important. >> thank you. >> commissioner jupiter-jones. >> so i want to clarify that i'm um, ready to approve to change the hours of operation it needs to happen right now but that first came to the economy any reason for not just adding to the consent calendar is just for the first step and that is important we're hearing in the community being brought to the attention and we know we'll hear me say this is my home i live in the mission i'll raising my children and walk in the zta

22-02 everyday and totally understand. not where it some should be for the community and my hope that the change in park hours and improvements to make that park the quality that it should be and the quality of the community that it deserves and besides this work my hope we can and i'm adding the royal we, conduct me but activate the community partners and if i know anything about the commission mission we are creative and resilient so organizations that are close to the park and help to define and fine solutions and

point that out some of, you know, the behaviors of the things that are not appropriate uses of park is an indication of the community need and that you, you know, there are members of the community unhoused community members um, members that are struggling with substance abuse and they're members of our community not just um, criminalizing them but for the what i think the long term solution but that is my hope and kind of working with these that serve better, more experts how to deal with those level of issues and behaviors and coming to the park a way for outreach how can the park be a place where we can support everyone all members of the community. um, so i really want that on

record that is important and this is the second park we have another park that is important in our neighborhood has for valid reason needs to shut down the park what is the term we use? good park bothers i understand that just don't want this to become the norm so that is important to bring that up on all our minds and let's do the work. >> thank you commissioner. >> commissioner louie. >> lamont thanks for the briefly a real and opener and thank you for the community to voice their opinion and what is bothersome you hear children are not playing in the park that is

the number one youth is why they were small normally a called the mini park and children don't come and play that is an attention graber and thank you, you mr. ginsburg for bringing this to staff locate a pro-active leader of the hole visit that but he's gone there we appreciate your patients but thank you for bringing our attention to this. um, children need a place to play in the mission and thank you for sharing. >> thank you. >> commissioner. >> commissioner griffin thank you, mr. boifrp what is the community doing to address some of the concerns that i heard from by fellow commissioners

about the social impact of what is going on in alioto mini park and alternative to um, you know, to police hanging out and arresting people anything going on. >> thank you for the question commissioner griffin a coalition of several agents working with the community at hand to address the concerns with the police department and fire department and the fta and the community as they make suggestions with block party and inviting people trying to do things proactively to change that so to have good park behavior this is one small pod of the whole, if you will, to make that change. >> when we do change which do

the new hours go into effect. >> i believe they go into effect immediately. >> the resolution has to be found and process yes will go into effect immediately and have the communication plan and come back but obviously we think that is important to um, most of healthy activity in the state will happen during the day and daytime hours will give us a head start again, all the commenters noted we come in the morning and the first few hours every morning klein up did previous evening and more pro-active spending the

resources promoting healthy behavior. >> is that the way that is the way it will be noted people will be invited. >> yeah. >> will the police start enforcing this immediately. >> our park rangers. >> oh, the rangers. okay. >> koufgsz. >> thank you. >> can i say i had a briefly with staff yesterday and asked had happened if anyone is in the park after the park is closed. >> yeah. >> you know, and i was add to this is the answer i was given the park rangers come and the

department's policy or part to; right? you know the park is closed and leave first. and that made me glad to hear that is on the police are called when a citation happens. >> the park rangers are community-based with people i've noticed it. >> what we've be doing yeah. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> i don't see any other comments i know we're going to lose a couple of commissioners, i want to move forward but comment it is discouraging to hear public comment a park has gone to seed so, so say, i understand not rec & park faults but replacing or rec & park

problem working with the community i'll ask the general manager don't need to schedule but to keep the efforts need to be made so we can is a year from now that people appreciate the park as it is newly instituted. >> commissioner louie we want to thank xhoubldz for being pro-active in the mission and going out there yesterday. >> thank you. >> all right. seeing no other comments. chair i'd like to entertain a >> there is a motion and a second. >> all in favor, say "aye." >> aye. >> >> thank you commission. >> okay. >> we're on referred by the capital committee to the general calendar with recommendation to approve. (action item) >> thanks to the gardeners for

showing up. >> yeah. >> okay.. okay. >> you got it. okay. [off mic.] >> >> laura. okay. great. >> (laughter.) >> is it important?

>> it is important. >> good morning, commissioners. >> good morning general manager and ma'am, secretary the possible action to code chapter 31. this item was referred by the capital committee to the general calendar with recommendation to approve. (action item) on the agenda was referred from the

capital committee with recommendation to approve. and also want to make sure you know that the final speak for the documentation from the parks department was yesterday and commission secretary e-mailed that to you and thank you very much. >> happy to see you. >> so the mcclaren trails project addresses several strategies in our strategic plan develop smart open spaces and the growth in those easier and in neighborhoods. and strengthens the quality of the park facilities and also works with partners to activate activities and other activate and inspires stewardship and increases emergency connectivity

and park maintenance staff. >> the goals for the mcclaren trails have remained the same since the john mcclaren park to make sure that the access is safe and maintained and protect natural resources. with the approval of the plan the mcclaren trails framework and best practices were approved. and that includes multiple uses roofs in the north and south have of john mcclaren park and really thoughtful attention to access around the park that work of multiple use trails throughout the park. some of the

best practices include slope drainage and erosion control and recommended surfacing for trails and the natural trails in the natural areas have restoration. and also in the vision plans trails with standards include a three for the minimum for pedestrian trails and required by outdoor recreational access requirement and 5 foot minimum for multi uses trades this is a large park over three hundred acres and the trails project is primarily occurring in four 4 priority areas test upper reservoir the connection between louse and makes sense sell court university hills and out in the

corridor. so first walk you through the proposed improvement on the avenue slightly divided we are appropriately a pedestrian only trail in the corner to the middle school in the middle of notification and tree removed and native planting around this i'll show you some photos that supports the transitioning of somewhat ltd ear for safe folks to get from middle school and access to the native plant fwarndz that is recently installed south of john mcclaren park and on some of the photos are love unhealthy trees

and dropping of limps and eager to improve that space. >> all the way up to middle school. >> this work is in coalition of future improvements for the corridor with the avenue and pedestrian and bilingual safety projects in the final phase that project will meet the um, direction and vision plan to have a bicycle facility on the road. we're looking at options for bicycle facility as part of that from makes sense south to the other area. >> the other three priority areas in john mcclaren park all occur within that natural resource management area and

i've broke down the presentation of the plan into three phases. and in an effort to help you commissioners and the public understand the attached work was happening in john mcclaren park to the first phase which is circled in pink here. is a lot of really fine handwork um, decommissioning of trails with the habitat from the dedication and restoration work planting native plant and the yellow phase two is more heavy construction and fwal capital improvement with the crosswalks and repaving the asphalt pathway and graduating along that artery

and ppe is in the natural areas we are creating a new trail and establishing a natural surface trail from louse up to the new court. >> here's a map of the overall proposed improvement and the natural resource management i'll go on them but area by area. >> so first over on university hill we have this is the creation of the new multi use trades on the left-hand side of the screen in red he reaching an asphalt pathway and the purple is i'm going- i'm speaking to the wrong thing this is phase one the more natural restoration

aspect of the work and on the right-hand side of the screen the university hill plan we're currently from approved trails and love social trades are causing erosion on the hillside so we're planning to graph that plan and prevent further erosion and as you can see in the images some of the severe not non-native species are crowding wrote people walk and this shows some of the erosion over the hillside and having an impact on the paths. some other aspects of that phase one work includes erosion admission with the restoration in the upper

reservoir so actually, i'll show you this area in red we're talking about with the vegetation and establishing a new seasonal wetland. >> you as you can see in the images ivory and hemlock and plan to also pour asphalt and cut windshields to sink the water on the hillside and recharge the ground as it tilts toward yosemite coconut and moving toward did central part of loop we're looking at on the north side of the last hill we default philadelphia hill slope because of the native quality on the i am we are hoping to

protect and decommissioning trails on that slope and have rustic to help folks stay on the look out and not take shotgun cuts down the hill. >> as you can see one of the hillside on philadelphia in the upper left image the look out and some of the (coughing) other trails around the hill that are overgrown with um, that need love tree work and tree trimming and irrigation and as you can see further around the side of the hill how there are overcrowded forests and a lot of unhealthy trees will be mitigated. and we're also consolidateing trails a part of property to help to improve circulations and help people

know where we want to go in the park and (coughing) how do we do that limiting the singe i hear all the time from the members. >> also in shelly court behind jerry garcia a.m. threat right behind the amphitheater that we are taking could you see mapping on the coconut and willows up the hill and decommissioning some of the trails for habitat for our non-working regulations in this area and then here this is gray box creek to the south of amphitheater a few buildings show the trail that goes right through the creek will

collaborate with the reporters not area and pull that trail demission decommission that trail to protect the habitat and creating an offer lock a nice natural area like experience the- without having negative impacts on it. >> moving into some phase two i want to let you know what is going on along access road we're adding a dog some improvement in the parking lot for ada access a new van practice social

distancing and adding a entertaining replacing some boxed steps with natural as far as block steps and repaving the access path west of upper reservoir and on the access road here's where we will be improving the curve cuts and striping loose john shelly derivative and continuing from the crosswalk we will improve the slope of the pathway in order to provide a moderate connection to the parking lot. here we'll put in this is the new parking spot and improved area we will usd the asphalt

path west of reservoir that it is an outdoor recreational place people in wheelchairs can get to the picnic area and an image showing the severe erosion that that project will remedy. >> and then moving to phase three on university hill focus in this area west of that grassland had been to the is the forest management and the establishment of a new multi use trail.and- matches to the our

accessibility guidelines um, limits on slope and surface stability. >> and so i want to direct your attention to a few areas this project is enhancing to have a complete loop for folks to have limited mobility. so at the upper reservoir that lovely historic block we'll right now it is currently a challenging path and we're going to regrade that in order to have an easy path in the parking lot to the stabilize stables behind jerry garcia a.m. amphitheater to have a moderate loop behind the

amphitheater another assess loop to the picnic area. and behind did hidden bridges and changing from a chaimg route to a walk step and asphalt path to a moderate route up the hill. >> and then i also want to reference this map from the business plan where we to how the for you all a few of the changes that are being made (clearing throat) in the upper reservoir originally the multi use path will go to the west of the reservoir um, it is- and we realized through community compensated better to route the

paths to the east side of the reservoir and create a better connection with the north and then on visitation avenue challenged from the idea of a multi trail on the east side to a pedestrian on the east side of the road we're also believe a native plant gardens and nature easier with the bicycle facilities on road or probably off the road. >> the project budget is $4 million and primarily from the 2013 bond the majority of- i'm sorry, i realize my numbers are mixed up around the two top numbers with violation avenue is

$3 million and the majority of the budget for the management area. and then the project schedule we are um, assuming are your approval hoping to start immediately on the work on visitation avenue. >> and open for questions. >> okay. >> thank you. >> do we have anyone in room 416 but we have quite a few hands raised on the caller line if you can unmute the first caller two minutes to speak. >> um, good morning, everyone and commissioners i'm cattail road the associate we are

proper reservoir where it drains toward the creek this will maximize the habitat value and replacing the infrastructure with the wetlands as that is partnership with- to make sure the features are you providing habitat projects and urban greening and the john mcclaren park multiple type structures to improve habitat and public access and important stepped forward and community thank you for your time and thank you. >> . okay. >> um, i'm turning that on

right now. >> we need a mics on. >> i apologize i'm going to have to actually go to another academy of sciences in combrorp i'm existed about that plan. i think that is amazing that we are such an urban environment and yet spaces we can community-based in and literally get lost and not know where you are in a good way if you for you effort i fully support this concept that will pass. >> commissioner mazzola and we're going to get to you commissioner griffin let's hear for testimony. >> thank you next speaker. >> >> hello rec & park i'm
