the superintendent of parks at the time came up with a parks system plan. it did not have the elegance of an olmsted plan. it was quite broad strokes. perhaps, luckily, it did not get developed because the panic of 1893 hit. of course, that hit the entire country and seattle was brought to a standstill by it. certainly, no one was investing in park landscapes or land acquisition. those were the 1890's. seattle got super lucky. way north in the northwest territories of canada, gold was found. boxes of gold, not little pouches you think of for a gold seeker coming back with his nuggets. seattle benefits from being the second closest american port city. a number of seattleites figured out quickly that it was more likely that you would make a fortune by supplying the gold seekers than being a gold seeker. you see a massive influx of capital and people. we have a flood of people. by 1890, we had 43,000 people. by 1900, we had 80,000 people. and, then, by 1910 we have 230 7000 people in seattle. more than trickle -- more than tripling of the city's population in 1

most importantly, of course, the park and the full green section of the full inland portion of the park. the last one we could talk about is incenterring other sources, and these are primarily the port sources. so this would be, for example, the shoreline tax which in subsequent phases we had earmarked for other shoreline improvements throughout the ports. we could propose that here with the developer to deliver the entire water section of the park. but we're not proposing that because we think that it's really important to balance the sources and uses and the sources what are they are, and we need to kind of match the infrastructure that we can deliver with what we can provide in terms of the value from phase one. next slide will then talk about sort of the overall results of what we're -- the punch line, if you will. what does this mean for the port in terms of our projected revenue from the project? so i'm going to just take you through this table from left to right. and the two numbers that are reported are the port's nominal revenue from the project over all phases and the port's m

do we need to talk about permits for the area and it's unregulated parking there for the most part. i will hand it over to my colleagues from rec park to talk about the lots. there are two large parking lots at either end and those are also further opportunities to manage parking unloading for people who need to access right-of-way. >> stacey or sarah or general manager. >> hi, i'm sorry about that. i know you just launched something over to me and i lost your lead. >> what you might want to do with the parking lot to make sure people who need to get really close by car are able to. >> yes, thank you so much. right, we have the parking lot just north of the section along north of lincoln alongside golden gate park and we think there can be many improvements that parking lot to help manage parking that it's currently, the striping is not clear so we can help with identifying where people can park and clearly defining spaces to connect to the area here. >> i would just say that i am really very interested for our paratransit vehicles and handicap spots that we can make sure that we cre

how do you quantify the parking demand on the curb. some comes before the pandemic and we made sure things were similar in 2020 and there's a high parking occupancy over 90% of space all day even in the permit areas. there's a low permit percentage. on our blocks there's a two-hour time limit but even with that less than 50% of the cars parked on the block have permits and 50% of the cars are parked all day. we'll talk about the planning and outreach with te growth of the neighborhood and we worked with the hayes valley neighborhood association. you'll hear from members of that group and had letters from them today as well. the outreach in 2018 where we began the research and began with a working group of members from the hayes valley neighborhood association as well as working with the transportation and planning committee and there's key in a few major points in defining the scope and helping uncover some rocks we wouldn't have otherwise turned over. they're also helpful with planning outreach and scope out our outreach. one of the b

if you live in the excel seer neighborhood, you would notice that the parking situation, the street parking mainly situation has been very difficult. currently there's been throw to four construction sites and they're multi units and i'm here to raise concerns. the other construction sites, they all provide parking to the new coming tenants. this project is adding 23 units but not a single parks space and and when i surgery the certain to this consideration to existing i'm on the same block where this is intending to be i have a problem and a concern really strong concern about the lack of parking spaces. although, bike racks are available in this project. prior surveys of the neighborhood has revealed that each household relies on private vehicles and it's not practical to assume that everyone can get to where they need to get by having bikes. we have two and throw bedrooms and are we expecting a household of four or five to rely on bikes. really. kind of i am practical and also it adds to the congestion of the lack of parking spaces and as a past residents for the past 10 years, every yea

and you're right and sometimes when people talk about just using the washington square park issue, it's just for the affluent new yorkers who live around the park that's just not true i walk through the park the other day, and i'm often there, and my son and i, as we walk through, someone was injecting themselves with heroin right there in the park. that is not what our parks should be made of. so first thing we should do, we should temporarily close down the park to do a massive cleaning then, before closing the park down for a period of time, two weeks, to clean the park and get it back in order, prior to doing that, we should go there on the ground, interact with people, and give them the services they need those who are homeless, let's find housing for them and wrap-around services those who are drug users, let's get those who deal with mental health illnesses and other issues that people are facing and give them the support. let's spend some time really giving the services in the park, close it down, clean it, and then reopen the park with a clear set of guidelines and rules. >> yo

the amount of new parking spaces is minimal. t and will not reduce -- will not have huge effect on other pedestrians. this request for seven additional spaces as recorded by the neighborhood and we have received 70 letters of support. thank you for this consideration. if you have any other questions, please let us know. >> great. thank you. we appreciate you being prepared. commissioners, we should go to public comment. this is your opportunity to address the commission on the item oppressing star then three. you will have two minutes. when you hear your line has been on muted, that is your indication to begin speaking. >> commissioners, hello. i'm calling to support the request for additional parking spots at 2525 then ness. i live in the neighborhood and we don't have parking available in our building. is a constant struggle to find parking with the construction on van ness and with the commercial corridor so close by. we love living here but we don't have parking. this -- this does not mean we don't own a car. we own a car and
