>> herbert weiner, actually i am concerned about safety on the sidewalk. that is from all vehicles, except for electric wheelchairs which are certainly necessary for the disabled. i really want to see people protected. for that matter, these standards should be extended to bicyclists as well. they ride on the what -- sidewalk, they strike people. you know, we need to have the uniform policy from all vehicles on the sidewalk. they probably should not be on the sidewalk to begin with. you really have to have a uniform procedure for moving vehicles on the sidewalk. you would not allow cars on the sidewalk. he would not allow motorcycles on the sidewalk, that is for sure. we need to have a uniform safety code, so the pedestrians can be protected. that is a an agenda agenda for walk san francisco. people have to be protected on the sidewalk, as well as the intersection. i certainly support the idea of identification. i think when scooters violate the laws they should be subject to prosecution. we need to have the safety for all san franciscans. otherwise it's g

. >> herbert weiner? >> yes. >> herbert weiner, these are the qualities i would like to see. for one thing i think the new executive director should be a transportation professional. i think that goes without saying. these are some of the qualities i would like to see from my own personal perspective. i believe that the executive director should be able to take issue with his managers, for one thing. he should be able to clash with them, bite them and even dismiss them. this has not been the case, so far, and i think this has been one of the reasons why we are in the mess we are in right now. he should also take issue with this board. these clashes should be public. they should not be in private only. we should be able to witness these differences and provide some input. we have something to say about this. i think what has been the case as you have rammed through everything, these meetings have been a dog and pony show. and, we have to get all of the vehicles off of the sidewalk, except the wheelchairs for the disabled. also seniors on the disabled should be supported by the

next speaker, please. >> herbert weiner, followed by david. those are the last what were people who submitted speaker cards. >> i wish to submit the annual record award which was given to executive director at reiskin reiskin upon his resignation. this is for the board to review. the second thing i want to give up is the 27 line. what is happening on the 27 line right now is for the same amount of buses, but less stopped, so basically there is less service. this is a pattern. the removal of bus stops. basically the public loses. this is a policy of not fixing munimobile, it is called fixing the passenger. this is been a consistent pattern. there has been a net lack of service. the 27 is an example of it, like on taylor and o'farrell, a bus stop was removed that was a very long distance. this is not service. basically we have to stop this policy of fixing the passengers and let's fix munimobile instead thank you. >> thank you very much. >> this is just a general comment about the service. i know that julie is listening while she is doing a lot

. >> herbert weiner, it's the composition of this board that bothers me. there should be critics as well as supporters of m.t.a. on this board. you're going to have a biased report. secondly, at the meetings there are obviously going to be working groups, critics should be included in those working groups, and not lined up against the wall like the peanut gallery that i experienced previously. you really have to have a critical report. and also the bottom line is we need more buses. we need more drivers. we need less take-aways at the bus stops. we need to have a better transportation system that really serves everybody. right now you have the elterva line which is a disaster. you have the vanes project which is a disaster and the brt will be a disaster too. so that's the bottom line. thank you. >> chair heinicke: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> thank you. on behalf of the same community, we submitted a two-page letter to every member of this board as well as to the working group. this, i hope, has been put in your packets so you've had a cha
