to your question, the gate, the history of the gate, is murky, at best. to my knowledge, i've not seen any permitting history or any hearings in front of planning or the planning commission with regard to the gate. i've been forwarded emails from dpw indicating that they considered the alley to be a public right-of-way but unmaintained street. for costs for maintenance are the responsibility of adjoining property owners. the gate as to when it was installed, by whom, how it was permitted, unclear. >> commissioner melger: thank you. >> so the gate's used -- boxcar uses that entry for loading in patrons? >> boxcar uses three entries, two along broadway and the rear entry until 8:30. all of their patrons exit the broadway side. >> is there a condition in the c.u.? >> yes. >> only used for entering and not exiting? >> correct. >> and we can take -- we may modify that conditional use. >> if we have a hearing. >> and i think there's concern about what is going on in the alley, but it's hard for me to pinpoint where things are. so i'm ameanable to hearing this a

no reinforcements were ever sent i horatio gates. -- by horatio gates. instead state militias were being ordered out by their state governments. they were arriving on gates's camp bolstering his numbers. when the battle of freeman's farm was fought, it consisted of 8000 officers men. as the weeks wore on by the time of the seventh of october, horatio gates's army numbered over 12,000 officers men. every one of those reinforcements were in the form of militia. strategy was simple. his was a strategy of defense. his job was to defend albany from invasion. what he wanted was for him to turn tail and to retreat back to canada. as it was he never retreated at this time after the battle of freeman's farm. horatio gates was waiting for him to make the next move. by the time of seventh of october 1777, the general waited for general clinton to do something in the hudson highlands. although he did make an attack through the hudson highlands, a very successful attack, it drew no reinforcements from his army. he reports that his report informed him that general gat

general gates, you must send a stronger horse. he then says give me some men and we will have fun before sunset. general gates approves of the attack that general arnold devised. general arnold leads a massive attack against the british lines and the british are beaten off the field. they are scattered with the americans in hot pursuit. the british all run to a fortification that they had built upon freeman's farm. british get into that fortification. it's unsuccessful. and attempt a strike at entrenchment, which is where we are located right now. consisting of not much more of a wall defended by 200 and 250 german soldiers and american royalist soldiers. the defenses were overwhelmed from the front and the flank by american continental and militia forces. one of the decisive moments occurred right here while we are standing. about a dozen riflemen came up through the back flank of the fortification, which the german defenders were caught unawares. benedict arnold had left the attack that was occurring. road overseer when he saw w

you were talking about golden gate park, and the golden gate park master plan is a living, breathing document. it actually sits on my desk. there are a number of golden gate park initiatives in the strategic plan and i would say to you from my last 10 years in this position that there is probably no more robust conversation than there is on any issue around golden gate park. i think that, frankly, i think that we have more work to do getting other neighborhood groups and folks from other parks engaged in, you know, sort of park policy and park advocacy conversations and there's a lot around golden gate park so i'm not sure that we're lacking in that regard, supervisor. you know, the -- the road closures, you know, traffic is an issue in the park. there are a lot of cars, there have been some pretty serious pedestrian safety issues in the park and it's something that we all need to consider seriously and that's also not really -- we are a partner in that conversation because it's in our park but we work closely with m.t.a. on that. the sunday street closure is codified, this board has

the forces would move toward the gates cap. the general determined that he, who is going to be with this probing force a 1500 officers and men, was going to try to view the american lines of the dense for himself. upon viewing the american lines of defense from a distance, he would make the determination whether or not to attack the next day, if the lines were weak enough, or if the defense looked to be too strong, he would go back to his camp, wait a few days, wait for more time to pass in which clinton might make more of a showing of himself against the rear, then if nothing happened, make a retreat back toward canada. when they went out with the probing force, they come upon a wheat field. two wheatfields next week other. this is very convenient because his army needed that wheat. so while they waited to cut the up, sits force lines down and wait for this to be finished with so they can continue on their path south towards the american line of defense. as it is, the american command was informed of the generals movement. the
