i ride every day and when i get on the bus, i see a yacht -- i see a lot of youth debt in the back of the bus. they cannot afford it. they say they do that or walk to the mission district. that is a long walk. i understand and am sympathetic with it. it must be sustainable. we cannot start and stop and then start and then stop. if we want to implement a program, we need to make it one that we can maintain. we do not want to be a policy board that says, this is a pipeline to the criminal-justice system. you are committing a crime by getting on the back of the bus. we do not want to be that type of system to. we want to help the youth get the education they need to get where they need to go. that is important for it is important to you as a young person, a citizen of this city, to be able to afford what the city offers you as a citizen. i will work towards the effort. i will work with our team to see what we can do to make it supported by everyone.

personally, i am also a bicycle commuter in san francisco and often ride that route. i have had the unpleasant experience of riding in the gap right now that is between the parked cars, and i have had the experience of a car driving behind me and honking at me while i was not in the roadway. we think this project would be a tremendous benefit. it would really promote cycling as a way to commute. thank you. commissioner buell: thank you. commissioner lee, did you have a question? >> yes -- commissioner lee: yes, for the mta. there was a driver accident where a pedestrian was hit. i wonder if there is some out region can be doing? i think it is really important to educate drivers and bicyclist that they have to slow down. i was wondering if you have reached out to two other surrounding areas, like our group, and there's also one in the sunset, to educate drivers? as they go through the park, as they go through north and south, to educate and to get traffic to slow down. what kind of resources are you planning to put into addressing that issue? >> i think i can speak to t
