workshops the sfmta has posted related to parking and transportation, we have been at the glen park neighborhood association meetings, and have been working closely with other agencies. we have also done office hours at the glen park recreation center, if people had questions, made ourselves available that way. people have been really involved, and that is great for our work. there are a variety of opinions, of course. in general, when we released the draft last september, we opened a comment period for this, we got about 70 different comments from different people. generally, there was support of the plan, which was good to hear. of course, they did not agree on all the different aspects. pedestrian improvements, pedestrian safety came through loud and clear as something people wanted improved. in terms of the transportation projects, people are interested in the transportation projects, supported the bigger ones, but wanted to see smaller, near term projects. people are tired of waiting. this has been going on since 2003. this is something we are putting an eye towards as we prioritize these community imp

vice-president of the glen park association. we wanted to make a few comments for the record. first of all, the glen park association represents residents and home owners in the quaint village of glen park. gpa has not taken an official position on the plan but we are interested and involved. we are very happy the process the planning department's that has developed for working with the community. gpa has also been hosting working meetings with the community, gathered input and sending it on to the planning staff. certain issues are still being heard and considered. a few of those issues are addressing the mcp zoning height, expanding commercial areas, and development of the bart parking lot. thank you very much. commissioner antonini: thank you. >> thank you. >> i am the chairman of the glen park association. i agree entirely with what karen said, but i want to thank john and john to help us engage with the community to generate, i hope, better and useful, more considerate input from the community. i see that came from mta is also here. i wanted to thank her for the pedestrian

. >> supervisors, i am the president of new mission terrace improvement association, the neighborhood between glen park and balboa park station. at a recent district 11 council meeting a representation was made to the neighborhood that some trains could be switched back from out of bounds to inbound. i want to make it clear and the letter will explain that this is unacceptable. basically improving the service for the patrons. at the expense of the patrons in district 11 does not make it. once we have put the major dent in public transit. there is no ada accessibility. if i want to shop in glen park at canyon market or if i want to go there for breakfast or to the library or to the bookstores, i am going to walk or take the j line and walk up that miserable, fifthy staircase. the idea of serving one part of the patronnage at the expense of the other won't make it. if we can make improvements on the line that is another. from my understanding that the f line operators pulling out via the j line are supposed to carry the folks. most do. but the few that don't make quite an impression. and if there is an o
