as well as how close they are to the 16th street bart station and the third street light rail. i know you will agree that it's wonderful to see this part of the city began to drop -- began to thrive, even in this difficult economy. but to really thrive and really generate job growth, we need businesses in those areas that need greater access. it needs to be easy for people to get their as well as for goods to be delivered. that kind of access is the lifeblood of the economy and areas that do not have access cannot thrive. good transit is part of that equation, whether bart, muni, or investment in the third street light rail line. this transit carries a lot of people in those areas. but for those who have to try and make pickups and deliveries, it can be hard to find space during the day. sf park aims to make it easier to find a spot close to a destination. while some of these areas are more industrial and have few clients and customers visiting during the day, they are interspersed with businesses that have more daytime activity and need open space parking spaces so it's easy f
