. >> elliot schwartz. hello, my name is elliot schwartz. my family lives a couple blocks east of portrero avenue. here to speak in favor of the portrero streetscape project. we take our four yield to a preschool a couple blocks west. i have him on the back of my bike and my wife picks him up on foot. crossing potrero can be scary on foot so the bulbs really help. there is already bike lanes on potrero. it's nice having an extra bit of space when cars are passing. i often see other cyclist ahead of me when i'm walking on potrero. for anyone who says bike lanes aren't used on portrero they aren't seeing them. i'm a lil disappointed that these changes don't go far enough. in 5 or 10 years we'll regret that we are putting in the reserve lanes for transit in both directions, not just one direction. potrero is an important transit corridor for the 9 and should get the same treatment that van ness and geary are getting. we are going to be sad that we didn't put in bike lanes like other cities like chicago and new york are doing on their arterioles
