barry in toronto. so, barry, we're going to bring you in. we have two minutes. >> and, john, could you put it on the screen too? >> clerk: yes. >> thank you. >> caller: hi. good evening. this is barry from toronto again. robin, you did a great presentation. it was really efficient. and i think that the valence vaa street is working because i do food deliveries too and the restaurants that we serve are not in the closed off areas. so it doesn't impact us. and i have seen they do it on fourth street and it works great. the problem is that there's more parking on the side streets for parking and going and pick up and delivery. the feedback, they should probably provide some parking on some of the side streets, either on 16th or 17th, to allow for the going into the closed off area to do pick-ups from food delivery. it's great to hear about how you decide on the shared streets program. you answered the question succinctly about taxi stands. the thing is that i believe that white zones are not a permitted use for shared space. and a taxi stand is technically a type of white zone. so it would be great if i had your contact information and sent you photographs. and a follow-up further with robin regarding -- regarding this issue of the restaurant. plus aren't they supposed to post the permit they obtain from the shared streets program? there is one restaurant/bar on polk street that has posted on the outside of the structure his permit. but there's no permit posted for this particular organization. so it would be great to have a link to know which shared streets have the permits and which ones were issued on your website. it would be great to have that information. thank you for your time. and this really was a wonderful presentation. thank you. >> president bleiman: thank you very much. any more public comment? >> clerk: yes, we have michelle delaney who is next on the queue. i'll unmute her. michelle delaney you're in public comment. >> caller: hi, awesome. thank you. and hi, robin, it was great. thank you. i wanted to make a comment, and today when i went down to minna there was a homeless outreach team and i am like so glad that you guys are here and to help the homeless folks here to get into navigation centers and the homes. because, guess what, there's no way that i can do a shared space at all on that alley because there's too many people loitering there and it's impossible for us. we can't do anything, we can't move anybody or do anything during shelter in place which is probably for another -- i imagine six to 12 months for me. so i literally can't even put a table out there with this situation in the alley right now. so i know that there's a lot of pressure on you guys and i know that you're trying really hard but at some point you'll need to figure out for something for people that want to open up their bars or restaurants that can, that literally can't with the situation on the street. thank you. >> president bleiman: thank you very much. anymore public comment? >> clerk: yes, we have chris hastings in the queue to speak. i'm pulling him in now. >chris,go ahead. >> caller: hello. it's just a comment. i have been involved in some community meetings about the street closure on noia street at market. and one of the requirements that has been posed to us is that there needs to be an attendant at each end of the street to move the barricades in case of an emergency vehicle would need to get through. and for the businesses that are involved, i think that is probably going to be enough to squash the businesses' motivation to followthrough with that. i think that would be the same in other places. and one of the suggestions that was put forward is to be able to have the servers who are already waiting on the tables to be the people who could potentially move the barricades, which seems like a much more realistic solution for us. and i imagine that we could have more street closures if that is indeed the intent city-wide without that requirement which would be a big -- it's a big expense on the businesses that are involved. >> clerk: thank you. >> can i respond to that one point? >> president bleiman: yes. >> we are working in particular with the fire department to think of alternatives to the staffing requirement, you know, the valencia corridor merchants' association was barely able to get it done with the san francisco bicycle coalition and the local city really stepping in and stepping up to help recruit folks to staff those barricades thursday-sunday, 5:00 to 9:00, every single hour, and every single barricade. so we recognize that's not a sustainable solution. so there are other things that we're thinking about that involve potentially different kinds of barricades that can be, you know, driven over without, you know, causing damage to the vehicle as with the current barricades that we specify the transportation agency will specify. so i don't want to promise anything right now but i can, you know, assure you, chris, that it's something that we recognize that is not -- you know, there has to be a better way for us to do it. so more on that soon hopefully before the noia street gets approved we'll have a resolution on that one issue. >> president bleiman: thank you. anymore public comment? >> clerk: there's nobody with their hand raiseed. it looks like we have some chat comments whenever you are ready and we can -- look at those. >> president bleiman: yeah, shall i just read them out loud? >> clerk: yes, i think that the chat started at -- it would be actually at 6 6 635 -- >> president bleiman: well, barrytoronto already spoke publicly. publicly. so let's start with christopher millstead because you're only allowed one public comment. if there's a bike lane against the curb and a parking spot in the street, is it possible to relocate the bike lane? i have decreased my insurance since we're not open but to apply for shared spaces i you have to have one million dollar policy. every penny counts. those are christopher millstead. and michelle delaney has a comment but she did already speak. and marine r., thank you for shared spaces. i went to restaurants on valencia twice in the last week, i really enjoyed it. and the dogs enjoy it too. and i hope that it continues past the pandemic, and on the weekend. it's too hectic to ride-share and with general traffic. great use after a long sidewalk. and widening construction on valencia is the only concern was the trumpet too close to the passerby and you need more than six feet. >> president bleiman, we have flagged that and we are reaching out to
