i have spent a lot of time on the island. i'm a reporter and i report on events on the island. i don't know if you're aware -- remember keith foreman, who headed -- was the environmental coordinator for the navy for a long time? he used to do these tours of the island to update people on the cleanup and every time he passed the fat grape -- and i attended those two or three years running -- which was the navy brig, he proudly pointed out that that navy brig -- there was a winery in there, because the walls are like a foot thick and it was a perfect place for a winery. i got a kick out of that, because he was so proud of it. he pointed it out. recently pat bowen, the vintner for fat grape, left the island. he could thought afford to stay on the island because the rents went up and that's happening to a lot of businesspeople here. and pat is very concerned because that entire navy brig is a foot thick of styrofoam, compressed styrofoam, as air-conditioning. that was done back in the day. and on the outside of it, pat described this to me, is a shell made of something called dryvi

the island? i think if you think about it, if you don't live on the island, if you live in san francisco just think about it. if you wanted to leave the island, to take your children, to take your grandchildren to school, to the doctors, whatever that might be, can you imagine having to leave your garage and pay $5, and then, when you come back, you pay another $5? it just doesn't make any sense to me, and i just wanted to voice my opinion. thank you. [applause] >> so let me just say this. not on those tonight, but we really appreciate hearing your opinions and your thoughts. we will take it into consideration. i've been moved tonight, as well. we've got a really difficult task ahead of us on treasure island, because we want to make it the best, most transit rich island so that it is accessible by all means. i took the bus here today, and i was just amazed that from the financial center, that i could come here and walk from the ymca in 15 minutes during rush hour. that being said, i know there's

so some seminars here on the island. english and spanish, to help people understand what that means. what steps need to be taken. so we continue to work with that and engage people to help them funnel into that process. >> director richardson: part of my question would be, so we have 14 b.m.r. for 2020 and so does treasure island pre-d.d.a. have first preference? i know that the city has the series of preferences, so our obligation for pre-d.d.a. household. how are you treating that for that available eligible, which is something that we would like to understand and would like to know, because we have the mainland, potential homeowners, but also the primary on gaugss for pre-d.d.a. for treasure island, so we need to know how that's being treated. >> we've been trying to engage the community with giving them more information and helping people understand, what does it mean? so you want to buy a house. what does that mean? what are the steps? where do we go to next? that's where we're at. it's our goal to sell every single

and we are an island. i think that we can make the character of this island much more intimate if we don't have the wide streets. and the answer to that, if you see in europe, is that they have smaller fire engine vehicles, which can navigate narrow streets and maybe that's something that should be thought of. streets of that width, 12 feet, what is the widest, california? and then you include on that street parking lanes. it becomes a very wide boulevard and i have concerns about that. i've stated that from the beginning. i feel narrow streets create a more intimate feel. i will leave it at that for now and call on my other directors, ms. richardson. >> director richardson: thank you. great presentation. we were having a great time looking at the slides. so doing well. i like the emphasis on intersections. we know from the conversation that came about and i'm looking through all the slides and how you have dealt with them in all the areas. my question has to do -- and i raised this before, the signalized

when do residents go on and off the island? windy visitors come come on and off the island? what do our small businesses depend on? i have a lot less concerned about the weekend tolling, for example. i do get we have a lot of athletic teams and a lot of tourists. i have less questions there. i just really want to understand the monday through friday management, and again, what is the expected expense. what are the sources of revenue, where does this tolling program fit into that. is very helpful to hear that munimobile will continue to be subsidized in the same way that we subsidize other neighborhoods , and this is again , as was stated earlier, to help fund a.c. transit ferry and the on island shuttle service that is a helpful distinction, actually. it is true, we do not provide other neighborhoods with that type of service. that gives me a little bit more comfort. i really do want to understand the free meaning for youth and against the discount program for our households where $75 feels like a lot. for example, for folks from paycheck to paycheck and may not be able to a
