i am a resident in the first block of haight. i would like to state again my opposition to this plan. i live with my family, but i was raised in the house and our families are the property there for almost 60 years. to funnel more traffic and commuters and chaos into the immediate area is a dangerous prospect for anyone. our streets are dangerous. octavia boulevard, market street, golf street -- they are all filled with, you know, commuters and, you know, our share of really dangerous accidents. when accidents happen in our neighborhood, they are of a monumental danger. someone died just in july in our neighborhood, due to the traffic in our area. i want to say that we are in opposition because -- only since april have the neighbors in our area been involved in the talks. i sense that -- i think that saying that the neighborhood association and special interest groups are on board with this plan is to disregard the people that live and work in this area. we are the ones that will bear the brunt of all the chaos of traffic running

we hear a lot of concerns about the intersection at market, golf, and haight streets. we have proposed many improvements. we are adding pedestrian signals for the two crosswalks. we are straitening two of the crosswalks that currently do not merely match with the pedestrian method of travel. additionally, we heard that this was a major intersection as far as traffic inclusions, and that is true. in the years previous to 2007, we had an average of eight collisions a year at this intersection. however, at that time, we were able to improve signal visibility, and since then, while this only two years of data available, we were able to reduce that from eight to two per year. it is already significantly improving the safety of the intersection, but we think we can further improve signal visibility by adding an additional signal on this traffic island, and that would further improve safety in this intersection. we are proposing four bus stop changes. because we no longer have the route on the good or page street, we would remove the three inbounds stops and establish a new b

the recent fire at the corner of haight and fillmore took place at a building hosting multiple antennas. the fire apparently started in or near the apartment located closest to the antennas on the roof. even if the fire was caused by the wireless facility, we would not know. as exhibit at shows, the san francisco fire department does not have a category for fires caused by wireless facilities. additional safety hazards are also provided by the lead batteries that will work in conjunction with any backup generators. these lead-acid batteries provide explosive hazards and chemical hazards, documented by the battery manufacturers, included as exhibit be in your pocket. the potential hazards further prove this type of industrial commercial equipment is not compatible on a hospital in a residential lead-down area. -- a residential lly-zoned area. verizon has not shown that it has explored alternatives to the location. it uses a variety of poll- mounted antennas and has not mentioned why it cannot do the same for the richmond district. for example, exhibit g in your packet is a map many of br
