c. brinkman: no, go ahead. >> c. rubke: i did see comments from the public and thank you to those who came out to talk about this, concerns about accessibility from the slope and just getting up and down that hill. my understanding the proposal to keep starr king is a.d.a. accessible as well as appropriate grade level, right? >> that's correct. there are two main factors to the code compliance. one has to do with the slope. if the bus stop is at the same slope as the street that's considered compliant, and secondly has to do with how much horizontal clearance there is, so in general the sidewalk is 10-feet wide at the point of the shelter, it narrows to just over four feet and minimum clearance is four feet so we are compliant on both those factors. though certainly, we recognize, this isn't an ideal stop from an accessibility perspective, one impetus is looking at the other location. >> c. rubke: as far as those folks coming from, i think closer to st. mary's crossing gough, will this project do anything as far as m

c. brinkman: thank you very much, mr. donnelly landolph. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, chair brinkman, members of the board. rose hilson. i have a concern, overhead please, sfgovtv? what we have is intersection of parker and geary. i know you will have the red zone there 26 feet on the north side for daylighting and i think this is a very good idea. i'm in support of that. the only thing i have a question about early on it may become a safety issue. there's an island there, the two dark stripes left and right of the island are red ling and with 26 feet taken out, i notice a lot of these trucks go around the corner and maybe there might be something that might happen especially with 26 feet being red laned but maybe the distance could be changed. i'm not sure. that is a concern. i will turn that in. what i do have is another issue regarding the bus red lanes only being used for busses and i understand from rumors in the community there's a california vehicle code section under 233 and 668 and san francisco transportation code artic
