dolores. as 14th as a bike lane and dolores does not. that turn is probably not that high. and thank you for your time. >> good afternoon, president fong and commissioners. i am peter tanning. and my husband and i have lived in our house on 14th street, just the second house down from dolores for the last 30 years. we are one block south of market and dolores. and i am retired transportation planner working for fda and currently a member of the san francisco transportation authority citizens advisory committee. i am here speaking on my own behalf as a concerned neighbor. and i don't often comment and have to sit here for four hours waiting for the item to come up, now that i am retired. i felt this was important enough they wanted to be here. and i suspect all the elements of the agreement, including reducing the number of lanes at do llores and market. it will calm traffic and improve pedestrian safety. and as the staff report said it will only reduce the level of service by one second during the week and four seconds on saturday during the peak hour. and the impacts will

first, policy of allowing parking on sundays in the lane along dolores makes it functionally one lane on sundays. second, the policy of quadlupling the residence on market and the parking in the area provides a two-fold increase in local cars. not counting the people that don't have garage space. and fourth, the need for deliveries of whole foods will require several large trucks a day. and the traffic on dolores, and on sunday dolores will be no lanes going south because will be completely impeded. the remedies for the artificially congestion will not be enforceable. because they are caused by a city of self-inflicted wound. i suggest you simulate all of this before you build in concrete. okay? thank you for listening. >> good afternoon, commissioners, we endorsed this project back when, loved it. and it's rare that i come to speak on a project with approval and in construction. it's a gorgeous project and i am excited about what it does. and the reason i am here after the approvals is perhaps to correct a misconception that the housing action coalition focuses on the housing units.

it reduces dolores lane briefly and then quickly expands back into the full two lanes. this will create a significant benefits at market and dolores. first if you ever walked that intersection or driven by it. it's an incredibly wide, long pedestrian crossing. one of the longest in the area. it's not a pedestrian friendly crossing. as this area becomes more active. it will be more important that we reduce that crossing. so that people are able to get across the intersection safely. and it will create a beautiful new usable plaza. at market and dolores at the 2100 development. this will be a center of gravity for the upper market area. there is not as much activity because not as much housing or retail in the area, apart from safeway. once you get east of church street towards octavia. we will see that changinging and this is more important to create this new, great public space. this proposal has the support of market-octavia and the board of supervisors. triangle neighborhood association that initially thought that the previous plan was before you. is now as i understan

so which would people coming off of market in one lane need to get on dolores with two lanes. restrained by the exist of that left-hand lane. and i don't know that the "q" would interfere as it's been the tracks. they are not going to be on the tracks. in summary i think this agreement conforms to city's approved plan. and specific the market-octavia plan, and since the funds are available. i think it should be approved and i support all aspects of it. and i want to thank supervisor weiner for his support of this proje project. >> thank you. >> any additional public comment on this item? come on up. commissioners. when this proposal primary opponent, mda, said they speak for the neighborhood. i assure they don't. >> i am sorry, do you wish submit your name for the record. >> david garner. this proposal does not speak for me or dolores united. improvements like the proposed pedestrian plaza and 14-foot bulb outs make our neighborhood more livable. shorting the distance at crosswalks make our neighborhood more livable. street scapes make our neighborhood more livable. and finall

dolores on market. you have to make the right now. and the question about the bike lane was asked. and i think those -- i do like the idea of raising that crossing a little bit. you would have to drive over a little to make the left on dolores. probably a good safety feature, not really high. but make it its -- makes it a pedestrian crossing than a cross-walk that is marked there. i understand the concerns of the mission dolores people. and if it does become a problem, i think there are things you can do with the traffic lights. by koor -- coordinating them to give more time for the left turn. and make ing sure that 14th has a left turn and they can continue on. that will back it on market if they can't be timed in a way to continue southbound on dolores. those are just some terrific things i am sure you will evaluate. and those concerns can be worked out by those types of things. >> commissioner moore. >> i would like to make a couple of comments. the project is successful for a number of reasons. one is pedestrian safety. and two, i think that quick implementation of street scape
