mr. wiener said, there is no study on human house, all of those impacts. we know that people who walk with a dog get no -- get more exercise than people who walk alone, and they actually lose more weight than when they walk alone or what other people. at the commission last march, we heard testimony that such a significant loss of off leash access and the resulting overcrowding of city parks will lead to an increase in problem behavior in dogs. the experts say that office exercise creates better behaved dogs. dog bites are far less common in san francisco and other areas, largely because there is so much more often wish activity. to " a person from them koran humane society, it is not unlikely -- it is likely that there will be a change in this if this is reduced. the number one reason dogs are turned into shelters is because of behavioral problems. to quote an internationally known dog behavior is, there is no doubt in my mind that restricting this will be a social, public, and legal disaster for parks and cities, and i have given you copies -- oh, i have

wiener: thank you. the next question is for mr. ford. why do -- why does muni run one part of the train in the underground during the a.m. and p.m. rush hour? >> that is a very good question. we have one-car trains along with two-car trains. we scheduled those trains based on the ridership of four particular lines. the n-line carries 15,000 people a day. we have a limited number of railcars, and we have to equally divide them based on the ridership per line. that is the formula. it is not unique to the me system. that is how it is done in the transit industry across the country. -- it is not unique to the muni system. rail cars are expensive. we are looking at increasing the fleets. in the meantime, we're doing this rehabilitation. the fleet increases another 25 cars over the next 10 years. at the same time, we will be looking at a new design of car in terms of weeks as well as dealing with low floor vehicles versus the stairs in the vehicles we have now. thank you. [applause] supervisor wiener: thank you. the next question will be for b

mr. lee, and you guys think it is important. [applause] supervisor wiener: i think it is a sanctuary question. >> hello. welcome to mission high school. in from mexico. i am a student here. -- i am from mexico. [cheering] we want to stop deportation for teenagers. now we want, like, a city -- [speaking spanish] we want to stop that. we have the right. we are people. we have rights. >> i want to say that my friend was deported to mexico and he was supported -- he was separated from his parents for seven months. i know you have children. they did not know anything about their children. the key is studying hard to help his family, and there are a lot of kids working hard at school, and we really need this. we have our rights and we know our rights, and i hope you guys help this process. we are used, and we need this. thank you so much. -- we are youth, and we need this. >> [unintelligible] [cheering] supervisor wiener: thank you. thank you. i just heard someone shout above "secure our community is," and i know a lot of us in city government are not big fans of

mr. chair. first of all, i want to thank superviser elsbernd and wiener for your consideration of these issues here and obviously at the end of the day we have to balance the different interests that we have. from my perspective, i do think that while i have issues with supervisor wiener's initial resolution, i think that the amendments that he has offered really do help to emphasize the fact that, first of all, while there may be a lot of issues with the currently proposed plan , this leaves room for future ongoing dialogue between ggnra. i think that the amendments clearly lay out that we recognize and welcome additional engagement, consultation, public dialogue and we all hope that it leads to an improved plan that meets the needs of all the various stakeholders that are here. that is where i think we should go and i think that the resolution now supports that and this is why i will be supporting supervisor wiener's amendment but understanding that we do have issues that we need to resolve with our families, with the environmental community and with the broader san francisco community. superviso

commissioner wiener: thank you, mr. president. i first want to thank everyone who took the time to come out today and for those who were here earlier and couldn't stick around, and i say this at every hearing, but it's true, that you-all have things to do in your life and jobs and families and t.v. shows to watch on comcast and i do -- it shows a commitment to the city, with everyone's opinion, that you spent many hours here today. as i've learned and as i know my colleagues have learned recently, there are unbelievably strong opinions on both sides of this issue. and it's a really -- seems like a really big divide but i think the divide actually is not as big as it might seem. i think there's probably broad agreement that we want this technology in san francisco. but i think it's pretty darn important that we have it here as competition to comcast as a new product. and i think there's also broad consensus that we don't want blight on our sidewalks. so if this is going to happen and, you know, the reason i was asking the questions

commissioner wiener: thank you very much. mr. planthold? >> i'm bob planthold. i've lived on either of two j line stops for 20 years and was also in the tapcac. i think we need better understanding of the on-time performance statistics. here's why -- midday, recently once, noon time, i had to wait 20-plus minutes for an inbound j on the surface. that means three runs. two runs were missed, and yet was it, they all three were late or were two totally missing? how do we determine? similarly, there was one thursday at 4:00 p.m., had to wait 20 minutes for an outbound j on church and 14th street. was it three runs late all that sequential distance or were two totally missing? how do we know what 76% on time or not. >> regarding the slide on page four, there's a suggestion i made regarding auto zone tracks, there's a religious institution on church and 29th where often people double park waiting to pick up kids for kindergarten or religious services and they often overlap into the street car lane. i said why can't b.p.t. simply paint a white line to say this is where
