secondly, this project will potentially cause gridlock on van ness while turning our neighborhood streets into highways. these are some of the issues we want cpmc to address but sad to say, they are disengaging in the talks with the community. we want a clear resolution of these issues and our commissioners can help ensure that will address all issues being raised by the community. president olague: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is melissa vandra. i'm a member of south of course market action network. i'm also a resident of tenderloin. cpmc sutter hospital served mostly have expensive insurance and i heard that they're going to build a luxury hospital here in vanness. so -- van ness. so it is very unfair like -- for us, like the low income family and for those seniors who live around in the neighborhood. we need a fair and we want -- we want them to serve all the people in the community. thank you. president olague: thank you. if you can speak into the mike, ma'am. >> good evening. cpmc will be in our community and the people in our neighborhood should have priority when they need

situation will definitely worsen due to influx of people coming in and out of the hospital, causing gridlock along van ness while turning our neighborhood streets to virtual highways. right now the traffic there is congested. how much more if the hospital is built there? the safety of the residents, especially the seniors in the streets of our community should be considered in this plan. one problem with cpmc is that they don't want to engage the community in a productive dialogue to address our concern. what we want it -- is for this project to also serve our people. cpmc's record in serving low income people is the lowest in the city's hospital, especially medical insurance beneficiaries without me. it's not our choice to have is medical insurance and we don't want to be treated like second class citizens. how can we support this project when cpmc doesn't even engage us in a fruitful dialogue? what we want is a clear resolution of the issues raised by our community. during my talks with cpmc until now it's dragging and no result has been found. what we want is for cpmc to open its doors to

if cpmc con -- concentrates too much traffic in the cathedral hill area it will end up gridlocking public transit. a few blocks from the sight, the 38 geary, the 38 geary l and the van ness and the new bart and the jackson bus line and the center bus line. if the parking gramings -- garages for the hospital and office buildings are too big they will create devastating impacts that make it more difficult to drive in this town, further delaying public transit. those are some of the major reasons that a gsh 3 a for a smaller hospital on cathedral hill were described as environmentally superior. obviously we want cpmc to design new facilities designed to withstand and earthquake but to put all the facilities in one place will make it harder for citizen ises to get medical services after an earthquake if the roadways are compromised. it's just common sense. >> good amp. my name is paul wormer and i'm doing i guess the final portion of this thing. one of the big issues is is size of an operation and that's really use intensity. the number of unit -- activities that go on per unit of time. an im
