not one of the homes is -- no coffee shops, no grocery stores at park merced. the buildings are at the end of their useful life. which asset demands your protection, especially the investment that would make far more environmently successful and liveable neighborhood. finally, our environmental challenges and fairness demands all of our city's neighborhoods, including those on the west side, accept increamental -- incremental changes in size and density. a new term was introduced to us, "density equity." he said it is not fair some neighborhoods continually accept a much higher share of development in their neighborhoods while other neighborhoods accept much less. density equity requires that the west side also help contribute in addressing our city's need for more housing and in bringing housing closer to jobs. the project opponents are clear and vehement in their rejection. bless our hearts, we should acknowledge their fears about change. but their clearest and most unified message must be, we want the past. we don't want the future, we want the past. even if

so this is projecting out production of an existing unit over time at park verced. this red line on the left is the carbon joult put -- output of the construction of the materials, the actual construction of the new materials. on a conservative point, i said this was a conservative analysis. we decided to assume there is no remaining embodied energy in the existing freight. we know that carbon was produced when they were built as well. for purposes of this analysis and to take the most conservative view, we assume that there is net zero embodied carbon in those units. however we assume the full brunt of this construction cost, and that's what this red line has on the left. pime willing to say that the units here are actually a blend of all three construction types that we would find on site. type one, type three, and type five. from high-rise concrete down to wood frame construction. what we did is consider the wood frame as we took proportionately from the project build-out. how many would be type one, type three, and type five. what you have is a blended carbon ra

and what this was, was a series of intensive things that took park at the glen park elementary school for a week, very focused work that happened. and what that planning process did was identify some different concepts and visions for the neighborhood. these were in the areas of open space, a lot of transportation improvements and some concepts for potential development. it didn't propose any zoning or check on the feasibility of the projects within that draft plan but it presented these ideas. so that plan was endorsed by the planning commission. i think commissioner antonini he you were on the commission at that time in 2004. so the plan did sit on the shelf for a little while until we could get some funding to carry forward the environmental review process and to do some of the transportation feasibility work to see if some of the ideas were feasible to move forward. so in 2009 with our partners at the san francisco municipal transportation agency we relaunched the glen park community planning process and we had an open house in glen park at the elementary school in april, and we'v

also the land shifted 12 to 14 feet at park merced in the 2006 earthquake. i can't believe this kind of stuff is being neglected. this should not be approved. if there is any question about rent controls protection, which evidently there is quite a bit, this should not go forward. many people should not be jeopardized by this. this is crazy. that's all i have to say. >> mr. julinitis, if you want to come up to speak. kate reiken. >> i just want to relay a discussion of the neighborhood network. we proposed architectural clearcutting of such a large section of san francisco. personally, i would recommend architectural heritage. james julinit sifment. is -- julinitis. >> the speaker that left the break, he he is not informed of what is going on. we are park merced. there is a blue bottle coffee shop, a hamburger shop, a papa john's, and a mail box service coming, a laundry mat and so on. totally occupied. second of all, i would like to thank the san francisco planning department for understanding the road for the survival of 32 marns in different businesses in

we are one of the best apartments in terms of diversion rate, and an aversion in golden gate park is now at 96%. that means that only 4% of the waste generated by the park and in the park is up in a landfill. -- ends up in the landfill. however, we are focusing on that remaining 4% and trying to get to the zeroth goal, and one of the things we will implement this spring in order to make that happen is to have recycling in golden gate park. the next few months, you will see a rollout of blue bins in the eastern end of the part. again, we have worked closely with the department of the environment on this to addressee locations, the type, the signage and the rollout of the bins. it is important for us to have -- to make sure that we have volunteers and some staff at those bins directing people as to how to use them so we can ensure the success of the program. we are also grateful to our partners, the parks trust, the conservatory of flowers, the academy of sciences for actually donating the cost of these, so there was no expenditure on behalf of the department to purchase the dual stream waste

of workshops that planning has hosted, workshops the sfmta has posted related to parking and transportation, we have been at the glen park neighborhood association meetings, and have been working closely with other agencies. we have also done office hours at the glen park recreation center, if people had questions, made ourselves available that way. people have been really involved, and that is great for our work. there are a variety of opinions, of course. in general, when we released the draft last september, we opened a comment period for this, we got about 70 different comments from different people. generally, there was support of the plan, which was good to hear. of course, they did not agree on all the different aspects. pedestrian improvements, pedestrian safety came through loud and clear as something people wanted improved. in terms of the transportation projects, people are interested in the transportation projects, supported the bigger ones, but wanted to see smaller, near term projects. people are tired of waiting. this has been going on since 2003. this is something we are putting an eye towar

it could be at the parks department. it could be at the other location. chair chu: ok, so one is just a technical part of where it sits in the budget, and that can be resolved fairly easily. if an ifd is created, at some point in time, somebody has to craft what those items look like to bring them to the board, so who has that administrative duty to figure out which projects are being expensed, where the ifd monies are going, so regardless, there has to be some kind of project management. >> there is something that, frankly, i do not remember what the acronym stands for. recreation and park, dpw, another, they meet regularly on the infrastructure projects, and right now, that agency group informally is doing exactly what you're talking about. they are looking at each project. they are looking at the individual infrastructure projects proposed in the area plan. they are deciding which deserve to be developed in more details schematically and in terms of structure drawings, and it ultimately are deciding which agencies will head of the project management. i
