pete suratos is there live in haight.ss owners you talked to, some have pretty serious concerns about this. >> that's right. good morning to you, marcus. their concern stems from the fact these improvements to the haight district is going to take roughly two years. that's according to san francisco's public works department. this is one of the work zones where they're starting their work here at central and haight. we want to show our viewers the overall blueprint, i guess you can say, of this project which is titled the upper haight and transit improvement and pedestrian realm project. it's going to cost the city roughly about $12 million. the goal is to still keep the local flavor of the haight district that folks know all too well, but they want to expand the sidewalk for pedestrians, add neighborhood green to the area, more trees, more forestry along the street, and also more lighting. they want to create this urban design when it comes to the haight district. but when it comes to the business owners, they're concerne

pete suratos is live there in the haight.business owners you spoke with actually have pretty serious concerns about all of this. >> yeah, good morning to you, marcus. big-time concerns for these business owners because these improvements are going to take roughly two years. in fact, we're standing on central and haight. you can see one of the work zones behind me. they'll start at roughly 7:00 a.m. this is a two-year project we're talking about. let's show you the designs, where this is going to stretch from. a team called the upper haight transit improvement project, it's going to cost about $12 million for the city. some of the main things are going to include an expanded sidewalk for pedestrians, neighborhood greening in the area, as well as more lighting. they're trying to set up more of an urban design when it comes to the haight district. one of the issues as we showed you the work zone is the parking in the area. streets will be affected while they're tearing out the construction. big problem for business owners. here'

haight street now has a cannabis store. why has the city selected a store without public input on the question? there are many districts in the city where there are conflicting applicants for the same retail location. you do incredibly important work here. we honor the time you put in. i look through the calendar and it's hard for me to find something that will affect as many people in their daily lives as many as a wrong choice for a cannabis retailer in a busy neighborhood, commercial district like the haight, like north beach, like parts of the mission, like parts of the sunset. this stuff needs to be handled delicately, not by an algorithm based on who pressed a button quickest to the office of cannabis submitting an application. some people in the upper haight contacted me about this and i quickly put together a petition for them that states the following. "we're the neighbors of the 1600 block of haight street. we request a public hearing to consider the granting of adult use cannabis. the retailer unknown to us has t

haight street, waller street, and market street are proposed to be limited to a ten-year term only.ation and maintenance work will be completed in that ten-year term. the department recommends the board of supervisors approves limiting to the ten-year term, it will provide incentive for historic preservation, rehabilitation and maintenance work completed in the ten-year term, and achieves a better balance between the benefits to the property owner and the costs of the city. this concludes my presentation. i'm happy to answer any questions, and the assessor is also here if you have any questions. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much, we will open for public comment on items 1, 2, 3. >> this item here on historical buildings, it should be permanent. no touching these historical buildings, period. this is a discriminatory practice used by the city for decades. you stop the protection, you renovate the building, you create apartment building complex and then you make the requirement to be eligible to move into the building and tenant, and the income -- and essential location of the buil
