and they could serve one sector out of balboa park just because it is pretty far away. and in terms of rf distance not necessarily in walking distance, but that would be that is what we are able to do. i personally have been involved in talks with rec and park for over four years and i am criticizing. and it is a complicated policy for rec and park to allow wireless antennas in parks and on rec centers. it is something that they are working on and they are working through. but, we are nowhere closer than we were when we first approached them four years ago. so, so supervisor avalos's office we asked if he could help us to reach an agreement with rec and park that we would be happy to decommission that sector, but i am a little skeptical having been at this for a long time, and i think that at&t will be fine accepting the con condition that we build this site and if a certain amount of time, six or 12 months if we could reach an agreement with rec and park that we would decommission the sector with four antennas. >> thank you that sounds like a reasonable proposal. becau

at&t researched that and took that back and determined we could move would be sector to balboa park unfortunately, we have been working with rec and park for several years and don't have at about agreement in place that allows wireless carriers into the park under any circumstances that's not a visible option not something that at&t said we'd consider but willing to decommission that sectors so long as we can operate there. we are going to go on in order to close 80 a significant grasping gap and asking for your support if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you. let's open this up for public comment.

meeting >> the renovation of balboa park, the oldest in the city of san francisco, and now it is the newest part in the city of san francisco. through our partnership, and because of public investment from the two thousand eight fund, we are celebrating a renewal and an awakening of this park. we have it safer, happier, more joyous. >> 3, 2, 1, [laughter] =--[applause] >> it is a great resource for families, to have fun in the city, recreation. >> this is an amazing park. we have not revitalized it without public and private investment. the critical piece of the process of this renovation was that it was all about the community. we reached out to everyone in this community. we love this park dearly and they all had thoughts and ideas and they wanted to bring their own creativity and their personality to bear on the design. what you see is what the community wanted. these ideas all came from the residents of this community. as a result, there is a sense of ownership, pride and responsibility that goes along with what is going to be an exciting park. >> here we are at the embarcadero.

>> i mean, it sounds like balboa park pool could be a viable option and it seems like there is the incentive in the wrong place if we are saying later take it down if you can find a spot on the pool, i don't think that there is, and there is not a big incentive to kind of find a solution, it seems like a large installation on this building it is a large building and it also has kind of you know, clean lines and dimension that get disturbed by this screen. so i would see a little more work with rec park. >> if i may note, the pool is actually coming in and under going plans for renovation, which are currently reviewed by the specific design review board and so there will be actually some challengewise locating on the roof based on the preliminary that i am seeing and they are not insurmountable either. >> have you talked to rec and park? >> yes, on many occasions, discussed at&t and other carriers. >> i know that the city has installations on the roof but does rec and park have none. >> ill not aware of any on any parks with the exception of near the park merced but those mostly stayed on the

you got on social security and you could ride to balboa park within the city and i think that should really be restored. i hope that's what this is about because really san francisco citizens need to be able to get around on the buses. we have buses coming, ac transit, transpass, golden gate. we have many buses that come here run better than muni, especially at midnight. so, this would be ideal because this would help go to city college, you can take civic center and get to balboa and get to campus. this is something that should and it's already in the things bart federal money we should be able to move through san francisco as well as people come in here on this bart train. so, this is a good thing for the residents of this city, especially low-income people like me. even if you stay in a tndc or [speaker not understood] s-r-o hotel. a lot of people in my building never get to go out because they have no money or they're on drugs. so, you know, they never ride a bus. they never go to sunset and see the 29. they never go out to sandoval area. muni can give them a lot of tick he is an

a major delay at the balboa park station, headed south towards daly city or over toward the east bay. 20 minutes, probably more. we're tracking that in the newsroom. meanwhile at the bay bridge toll plaza, you have a lighter backup, so less of a delay, especially for those fast track lanes. look at the map and we see the approach coming out for the rest of the area, a lightening commute, but still slow in many patches past oakland, the peninsula, and northbound through the south bay. >> thank you, mike. more local news in a half hour. and then cover the papi. announcer: the moment babies are born, their brains are forming the connections that determine how they learn...think...and grow. in the sky.
