so, i think it's bill brinkman, john [speaker not understood]. if you can identify yourself, please. >> good afternoon, i'm bill brinkman. i was retained on may 1st by university mount as their interim executive director and their chief reinstruction officer. by background, i've been helping troubled companies restructure turn around for over 20 years. supervisor, thank you for allowing me and university mount to appear before you. on may 8th university mount announced this closure, it announced it could no longer afford to keep the doors open. the primary concern as difficult a that announcement was, was to help the residents, approximately 50 of them at the time, with the transition. that condition as you heard from others, can be very traumatic. the second concern was to find a way, a path for the university mount mission of helping elders [speaker not understood] to continue into the future. whatever that meant in whatever form or shape. the board at the university mount, they did not take this decision lightly -- >> i'm going to stop you. >>

. >> director brinkman. >> thank you, mr. primus, this was great and i see a lot of your sfpark team and i want to say thank you to all of you. i know how much work it has been and amazing amounts data to look at. i think it's really important to emphasize what this is going to do not just for san francisco, but to other cities and to you your point when you started out, that was really a huge part of what we were trying to do and why we got this government grant to show other cities how we can manage parking and it seems like it's a huge win for everybody. not just for car drivers, but for businesss and getting cars parked more quickly. i think some some would argue to take the money and add more parking, but i think this data shows that if we don't properly price parking we can never have enough. so when it was cheap, there was never enough. there was never any empty spaces and this is actually freeing up parking probably better than building garages. i think that we had from mr. res kin that cell phone payments had gone up

. >> director brinkman has a question or comment? >> i think my only question, mr. thornley would be there is no difference between the benefits that the research has shown and on-street spots versus spots that have been located off-street in garages. i think somebody brought up the number of 9-13 vehicles are removeded for each car share vehicle that goes out and we expect that benefit is going to be the same, whether we have them on the garbage or in the streets. >> excellent question. there was research done in the bay area and across the world in the range of cars that are taken off the streets goes up to double-digits and i we think that is pretty m ambitious and probably european cities. that research has been done chiefly on off-site garbage parking lot/gas station kind of pods. the 12 locations are still out there and you may know about them and i will use the one on 4th avenue and clement from time to time and from that research we had indication thatip deed the same benefits were there. here we are bringing you a pilot and we're going to test it and look a

police department special operations bureau meaning you handle transit-related issues, and sheryl brinkmanvice chairman of the board with san francisco municipal transportation agency. there's a campaign to create safer streets for traveling, and i know it's important as a driver and as a pedestrian, but why is it so important the sfpd to do this? >> this is way we do. we're in the business of providing service and protection to our communities, and we want to make certain that an issue that is obviously in front of us, that being pedestrian and bicycling safety and roadway safety in general is something that we are focusing all of our resources on. >> unfortunately, we hear too many times when pedestrians are at the losing ends of accidents and bicyclists as well. >> it's a nature of the beast. pedestrians and bicyclists will always come short when it comes to any type of collision with a motor vehicle, and so as a result, our focus is on addressing the behaviors of the most problematic when it comes to vehicle collisions. >> all right. sheryl, you have a campaign called be nice, look twi

brinkman and mr. said lander, i want to thank them for being here and ask you also to have a heart. my mom is 90 years old. if she were evicted from her home, i can't imagine the amount of fear, anger, confusion and pain that she would be through. and i wanted to thank [speaker not understood] sandoval and other in the community here to explain how the children have grown up with the seniors in their neighborhood and the craft sales and the part of the community that by evicting and closing you're ripping away and ripping apart. and i know that there are options and i would just ask you to not put profit above people's needs. and lastly i'll just say that we have some residents here for the next hearing that remember the international hotel, largely a senior complex in chinatown, manila opportunity. ~ town. and when 40 or more years ago that place was evicted through law enforcement evicting seniors and older china folk, that many of them dispersed and never came back for 40 year. i'm glad that it's been rebuilt, but i think it's one of those examples, if you evict these giants, as

brinkman and board members have repeatedly stressed that their first priority was to find a partner that would continue the home's mission. the articles of incorporation state the mission is providing a place, not money, but a place to care for low-income seniors. they chose instead to sell to a school for wealthy children. money over people. actions speak louder than words. they tell us money from the sale will somehow provide assistance for low-income seniors for years to come, but the numbers simply don't add up and once again they have no real plan in place to make it happen. paying us to go away is no benefit, for no amount of money will bring our loved ones back if they die from the forced move from familiar surrounding. the city cannot afford to lose this crucially needed facility or the 130-year history it represents. i urge you to take the most stringent steps possible through zoning or other means to maintain the site as a home for low-income seniors and prevent this travesty against our seniors and our city. actions speak louder than words. my name is eddy schein and my 97 yea

. >> director brinkman, you have a motion? >> yes. >> second. >> i think it's a worthwhile pilot program and i think what was represented here earlier, makes a whole lot of sense and we'll take seriously whatever information we get from that. because this is just the very beginning and my hope it's successful and works for everybody, for as many people as possible for the greater good of the city. the ayes have it, thank you, next item, mr. boomer. >> moving on to 10.11, consenting to the proposed development agreement between the city and county of san francisco and visitacion development and adopting the mp research and planning for the program. the member of the public who wishes to decrease the -- to address the board is fran martin. >> mr. martin has left. >> ayes have it. item 12, right? >> item 11 urging the board of supervisors to place the $500 million general obligation bond on the [tphro-rb/] 2014 ballot. >> director reiskin. >> yes, because this is now moving forward advanced from the budget and finance committee t

. >> and yeah, i was going to reiterate my concerns, that director brinkman brought up, there is communication to me as well, as putting in the tech shuttles or these large buses or shuttles on the same routes as bicyclists, and popular bicycling routes and it is a little different because you know they are private shuttles and not public, and there is a little bit of concern and i feel it personally, and when i get passed by these big lumbering buss on my bike. and i think that the concern is warranted, and i hope that we will be putting extra attention to the issue develops and we don't have the time to dig into this issue just yet but i do hope that we will be open to accommodating things and changing things as they come up and really entertaining whoever might be advocating to keeping the modes of travel as separate as possible and also, protecting where we can't have that overlap to go for like the protective bike lanes and what have you. >> and so it is super important that people feel that they can ride a bicycle and their children or the people of limited mobility can get on a bicycle
