i am a resident of the golden gate apartment. we have been living in the gateway for about four years now. my husband and i live -- work in downtown. we love the community very much, and we're very committed to the neighborhood. i wanted to say that in the past four years, since a few parents started, it is only 10 of 12 people in the beginning, now grown to a large number of families, and it is definitely even in the four years time, the change we have seen is a lot. also in my mind, the second point is i think the playground in my mind is not just a playground for us, but i really think that it is, like, a center of the community. we have community events right now, the large-scale, about two times a year. the hell with party. a long time ago, a family started there, but last year, a lot of people came this past easter, and the halloween party to the wheel weeks ago attracted over 50 kids and a lot of families. everybody, gramm and count -- parents, grandparents contribute their money and time. really a community effort. i real

i live just to the south of golden gate park. we used to have three lanes of traffic, with a northbound lanes, and a few of them had southbound lanes. but there were always three lanes of traffic. they talked about calling this traffic. and we signed on to this. who does not want this? we wanted to direct the traffic, leaving the neighborhood safer for the children, the rest of them. they put in two lanes of bicycles, cutting out one traffic lane, and leaving a turning lane which worked out well for the people driving into their homes. what happened was, traffic was backed up. if you are on lincoln, that commute times, you cannot even go to seventh avenue. and if you are on the the alphabetical street, you cannot even turn on to seventh because the cars are already there and there is no room for you. what i am talking about this, be careful. when we solved the problem, we ask for the mass transit authority to come speak to us. i am saying when you have this land, the cars will circle around looking for a place to park in the neig
