i indeed, if i'm going east, coming home, i don't stop at van ness, i go up to gough, cross gough and wait a whole cycle rather than cross geary and have to cross gough at, you know, against traffic. facing traffic is much safer. please consider that. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you, ms. malone. next speaker? >> my name is william holleran, i ride the 38 everyday for a number of years. speaking on behalf of the grow the richmond organization. we strongly approve the plan, encourage a swift implementation, it's been delayed far too long. we are excited for the faster, more reliable service. we support reinstating the spruce stop with rapid service and third point, we would like the board to consider the trade-offs of adding too many stops with the needs of people getting downtown quickly. i don't utilize the express busses because they take the last 2-3 blocks going down busch street take far too long. i take it exclusively because of the rapid lanes. i support that going forward. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is rodger, local 258, i felt compelled t

heinicke: was the alternative of a no-right turn on gough looked at? >> so i worked closely with my traffic engineer on this project and it didn't seem there was any feasible way to mitigate the issue of the right turn q there noted that gough is a major thoroughfare arterial into the city. >> but there's a stop light there? >> there's a stop light? >> vice chair m. heinicke: there is. >> just to articulate, the concern for bus performance with that location it is common that during the morning rush hour there's so many cars waiting to turn right there that they queue back quite some distance, such that if a bus were to arrive and serve a stop in front of st. mary's they would get stuck in the queue having a hard time pulling over to access the stop, they would need to cross the right lanes and back over to the through lane to continue on starr king way. >> chair c. brinkman: okay, thank you, ms. bryson. any other questions, thoughts from the directors? director hsu? >> l. hsu: sounds like it was the operator feedback that was the driving force. >> it'

next topic is inbound bus stop at gough street. it would put it next to st. mary's. there were some good reasons to consider putting a stop in this location. it's relatively flat and visible where the other location is on a hill. it provides better access to st. mary's. we heard quite a by the of support from stakeholders who would benefit from having the stop in that location. but on the flip side we also heard from stakeholders who travel east tore the unitarian church and saint marks who were concerned about longer walks to the stop and concerned with the high value of eastbound right turning vehicles turning from geary onto gough street. in the morning rush hour it's not uncommon for the q to extend back. this is where the bus stop would have been located and we have concerns about the delay that would cause to our busses. we had feedback, we went from division safety meeting from operators who drive this route and they had concerns as well. for these reasons, we are recommending to leave the stop in its current location. the next i don't have a slide for pertain
