>> shared spaces have transformed san francisco's adjacent sidewalks, local business communities are more resilient and their neighborhood centers are more vibrant and mildly. sidewalks and parking lanes can be used for outdoor seating, dining, merchandising, and other community activities. we're counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are safe and accessible for all. people with disabilities enjoy all types of

spaces. please provide at least 8 feet of open uninterrupted sidewalk so everyone can get through. sidewalk diverter let those who have low vision navigate through dining and other activity areas on the sidewalk. these devices are rectangular planters or boxes that are placed on the sidewalk at the ends of each shared space and need to be at least 12 inches wide and 24 inches long and 30 inches tall. they can be on wheels to make it easy to bring in and out at the start and the end of each day. but during business hours, they should be stationary and secure. please provide at least one wheelchair accessible dining table in your shared space so the disability people can patronize your business. to ensure that wheelchair users can get to the wheelchair accessible area in the park area, provide

an adequate ramp or parklet ramps are even with the curb. nobody wants to trip or get stuck. cable covers or cable ramps can create tripping hazards and difficulties for wheelchair users so they are not permitted on sidewalks. instead, electrical cables should run overhead at least ten feet above sidewalk. these updates to the shared spaces program will help to ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, so that we can all enjoy these public spaces. more information is available at sf.govt/shared spaces.

>> district 10 is the place to

be. having a opportunity to represent the last real black community here in san francisco was very important to me. not only just the black community, but all the communities of the color in district 10 from bayview hunter point to potrero hill to visitation valley to dog patch to little hollywood. [music] my family originally migrated from louisiana and they came in settled in san francisco. my grand father worked on the ship yard, i had great uncles and aunts who worked thin shipyard or did domestic work for families here in san francisco. most of my entire life it was my mother and i. i was raised by a single mom, single apparent. parent. we lived with imy grand futher

and potrero hill and spent early time in san francisco and spnt time living in the haight. it was important to me to become the supervisor of district 10 for so many different reasons. one is the place where i'm originally from, the place where i actually had my biggest opportunity after graduating from college coming and working as executive director of young community developer jz having the opportunity to run for the board of supervisors and be able to effect policy, effect change in the very community where my family is from. >> my name is kelly, the owner manager along with my husband ken. >> mission blue we are neighbors first and so when we first came to the neighborhood we entered the stories and got involved and learned there was a opportunity to get plugged into the merchant corridor and so we see mission blue as setting the table for

the community to come together around good coffee, good pastries. >> when we move today the neighborhood we were volunteers to the [indiscernible] i asked what is a butterfly of this area and says the mission blue and we said if we open anything we will call it mission blue. because the neighborhood was so beautiful and we wanted to be a part of becoming along with the neighborhood. we want td to add value. and, one of the great great heavy secrets of the valley, we are awhere the cross town trail starts. if you are not familiar with cross town trail, it is a 17 mile trail across san francisco and cuts through not only our commercial corridor, but the greenways, and there are six gardens built by the neighbors for the neighborhood and they have been here over three decades and

they are a incredsable treasure. >> the rolling farmer market, arrives every saturday morning 10 a.m. and there is fruits and vegetables and they take ebt and accessible to every of the neighbors so we have a whole neighborhood with fresh fruits and vegetables and we love to ask local musicians to come. it is really like a ecosystem saturday morning, which is one of our goals. what a neighborhood is all about. >> my name is lisa, and i'm coowner of sf dog parler. we have been here going on 9 years. it is in visitation valley i walk to work 6789 it is very diverse and everyone is friendly. rewarding we meet a lot of new people. a lot of different dogs.

>> we have done a lot here since i have been in office. we opened another grocery outlet, we have a new lucky store right in the bayview plaza, which is exciting. this facility we are in right now 1550 evans the brand new southeast community center is another amazing accomplishment for district 10. if you x had from visitation valley across bay shore and come into third street you see a nice bayview sign that demonstrates reflection of one you are coming into bayview hunters point, but also it is a art project to make it more visually appealing when you enter our community. >> i'm barbara, the wine maker and owner of [indiscernible] in bayview. we started wine making as a hobby actually in our garage here in the neighborhood in 2006 and 2015

we had the opportunity to open a tasting room when we have done in this space and here we are. we expanded to add in food options and caf e experience. i opened the business in bayview and inspired by the community. done a lot of pop up aventsds events in the neighborhood, let's try to take this to the next level and that was really what drove us with the support we got from the bayview community. you can expect to get a local bayview hospitality and welcome. you will experience wine tasting without going to the wine country, because we are small producers and we have not only our wine but introduced italian varieties as well so you can stit and enjoy all that, plus comfort style food. >> my name is anthony, the

owner of [indiscernible] ice cream in the bayview. me and my [indiscernible] my aunt used to take us out to eat ice cream all the time and that was our bonding time. we would spend hours eating ice cream and talking and cratching up. one day my aunt came with a idea, why don't you bring ice cream shop back to the bayview. there hasn't been one here in some time so i thought it would be a good idea to bring something back to the community i grew up and something i haven't seen a new business come back to community. i want to create the environment, the sit down environment you can enjoy a banana split, a root beer float, milk shake, just creating the environment for people to enjoy. got the passion to do it being here in the community and from my family.

>> we celebrated with the parade at the opera house. as we talk about beautification and promoting the arts, we talk about the culture of bayview hunter point and the things we have been doing to make sure we preserve opportunities for communities to come together and it is also is a larger amount of people in community that have the opportunity to come out and see what is going on and we'll continue to do that every black history month to promote not only our corridor here and southeast sector, promote black people coming together during black history month and put on display the talent and great amazing residents we have here in san francisco that come out to support and promote black history during black history month.

>> my name is lena mills and the owner of creative ideas. really inspired me to open my company because i was tired of working for somebodyential. else. we have columbian and mexican food and diverse menus for any occasion. the menu is when i was a kid growing up with my family, we always want to cook all different things, so i learned how to do a lot of things we do here at the cafe. it amazing because we are in communication with supervisor shamann walton, especially when he does coffee and he talks with everybody in the neighborhood that wants to talk to him and ask about how things are going with

our community, right? we get together with other businesses that organize singing and doing that in our neighborhood on our street and people see that all the businesses get together and they know what we are doing in the neighborhood. we are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. we do local events. with the churches. we did two at the park. >> my name is--the owner of christopher books in san francisco. independent book store. we have been here 33 years. the bookstore housed in a victorian [indiscernible] who runs the potrero hill archive. this space is used for number of different things. the pharmacy being one of them. what makes us unique is we

maintained the original character of the space. if you look up here, you see the ancient retrofitting. these are the original fixtures of what was here in the early 1920's or so. one of my favorite parts is sitting in that chair out front and saying hello to people when they come in and one of my favorite parts is when someone asks me oo recommend a book. you have home, you have work, well a third place is a place where you look for community and you build community, and i think of christopher's and other businesses like that as a third place. i had kids who come in that i knew when they were born and they come in and introduce to their kids. that is how long i is are been here. that feeling of history and connection and family and just being a

sole proprietor in one of the most amazing cities in the world. i still enjoy coming to work every day. >> we definitely have a lot of amazing places to go here in district 10 whether the bars around for decades. bottom of the hill. connecticut yankees and we have newer spots like gumbo social, [indiscernible] so excited about all the things we have been able to do, but i wanted to make sure as supervisor i really address the concerns and issues that community has and left with tangible assets on the way out, but also put policies in place that out live me as a supervisor.
