while we have on our main site, i think some strong language accessiblity, and we do have accessiblity for people with disabilities, we need to bring all of our sites up to that kind of accessiblity standard, and we're even under a mandate from the office of civil rights, along with other districts across the country, to meet that standard. so i just want to tell you briefly about the process, and then, i'm going to turn it over to melissa to tell you about what's next. so exigy did one-on-one interviews. they looked for the kinds of challenges that our users face. they looked for the type of concerns that our multilingual and special needs audiences have, and really tried to figure out how we can capture a vision for a -- all of our multiple web properties that will meet the needs of our key users and the types of information that they're looking for. so the -- they then sort of looked at engaging with our core team that i mentioned earlier, doing what are called design sprints. they did an on-line student survey, they created some different prototypes around different types of user f

end, we would like to see this project more robust, and charles just mentioned we had a great accessiblity meeting this morning. -- [ inaudible ] more frequent access to curb space, and an adequate buffer zone or path of travel between parking and the sidewalk. that isn't blocked by safe hit posts. in addition to reduced speeds and increased yielding to make these streets truly safe, we'd like to see painted safety zones at all corners of major intersections. this is especially urgent at freeway on ramps, pedestrian lost her life on sunday along 5th street on a freeway on ramp, and we'd like the vehicle width lane to be no more than 10 feet, even as denoted by paint. children live and go to school here. so do seniors. let's create a street that's safe for them, rather than a street that feels like a throughway. with some minor corrections, this could be really great, and we thank you for your time. >> thank you, mr. aarons. next speaker, please. >> david pilpal. >> david pillpal. i did not hear in this discussion about coordination with caltrans. the intersection of 8th and bryant is a maj

the content on these sites may or may not be translated, may or may not be meet accessiblity guidelines, may or may not be up to date. but due to other priorities, as you know there are many, as well as limited funding, we haven't been able to update the content for our website properties in eight years, which is a long time for

we've also added open planters to allow more light and accessiblity. there's more light and air. there's elevation shot right here so you can see the planters that we've added. the other issue was with the front deck, saying that it was too large. originally, it was about 10 feet, close to 10 feet? we've reduced it significantly? you can see -- oops. sorry. where did it go 1234 yeah. we -- it went from 10 feet to 4 feet, and -- why isn't it on here? excuse me. here we are. so the dash lines right here show the previous proposed deck, and we've reduced it to right here, making it about the size of a balcony. with that being said, we'd like to seek your support in approving this permit. >> all right. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> commissioners? so what's before us are the revised plans, right, miss peugeot. >> that's correct. >> but would we have to take d.r. and approve the project with those revised plans? >> it would be cleaner just to recognize the fact that there have been plans that have been revised. >> so we would take d.r. and approve the project as propo
