the first person is bob planto. >> good afternoon, i'm bob planto. i want to announce and invite you councilmembers who are here or watch this on the phone or anybody else watching or listening. next wednesday the cal train accessibility advisory committee will have a meeting with many topics. they will be held at the san carlos headquarters from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.. very said only -- seldom do people from san francisco come. i think it's helpful because we don't see members of the disability council going to other access related meetings. there is a train leaving cal train at 10 a.m. to get there in time. if you have time, juggle your schedule, try to attend to find out because san francisco has votes on the body of the cal train and so many people don't show up to this which deals with the services. next wednesday, the 22nd from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.. you can take san carlos too if you don't want to take the train. thank you. >> next, we have richard robin. >> hi, good afternoon, my name is richard rossman on p sack and chair for one year. i just wanted to

no you for public comment we have bob planto. >>> i'm bob planto. i wanted to give some context of the involvement of the disability regarding key stops in the high boarding platforms because nobody else amongst the council or mod staff were present when we were doing this years ago in terms of city involvement. the mac came up with larger places for platforms. i was on it then. when we heard there wasn't enough money to build, i was sure we divided up that list into phase one, two and three. the point being i made sure there was a public record future funding to go towards. some of what's proposed here today is an out growth of that. i want you to understand that along ago involvement can still payoff. taillight -- at the same time that referred to difficulties and disagreement about placement of key stops. here again what i consider disability and power then mayor willie l brown junior stops construction of the key stops in the valley because of subjective thinking. lots of parking would ruin their business. he wanted us to negotiate a way that k

. >> next, we have bob planto. >> i'm bob planto. i want to use the documented camera to provide visual sample examples of why i think there is problems for seniors and people with disabilities regarding the staff proposal alternative. some of the time savings are going to come from eliminating bus stops that automatically means we have to walk farther and it's not just a distance. it's crossing multiple additional intersection exposing us to more auto traffic. right now, what i have got circled is in the fillmore section. they propose to eliminate the stop at geary and laguna next to the chinese consulate. not such a good idea considering how much people go there. if you are pushing a baby stroller, if you are a senior, you have to go uphill. the worst one is in the richmond area. here again, you will notice the two orange sections are the proposed brt stops at 6th avenue and funston. eliminating the 9th avenue stop. that's a distance of 6 blocks between the two stops. the 9th avenue stop is where the elementary school. so kids are

next we have bob planto from california walks. >> i have maybe some good news. if california walk is going to have a pedestrian safety council mid-may. this morning because of the recent initiatives, i sent an e-mail to every city staff inviting them to present a coordinating presentation. i will let you folks know. i do want to responsibility about the data on disabilities. that's been presented several times on the pedestrian safety task force. years ago we tried to get it change. chp sat on it and we sent another effort and they are now considering it. we said put in these questions. we are going to take a different route, but there were command staff from parking and police level at the task and safety task force, why it didn't get here, but it didn't. >> next we have charles muss. >> thank you. charles mister, members of senior and disability actions. i know how to get a million dollars quickly from mta about transferring people that har as munis riders to find out they get. they only get one dollar. i don't see city of san francisco going after the bankers
