. >> kevin carol, jodie, jake shumano. >> kevin carol, president and c.e.o. of the hotel council of san francisco. i live in san francisco, a heavy user of public transit and public transportation. for me, i'm here today to speak in support of the 5th street project. i have one question, one concern that we have been expressing throughout the process. i want to thank the m.t.a., and especially talia lange for the multiple meetings she mentioned and meeting with our group specifically, and i know others as well. but i also want to thank the walk s.f. and the bicycle coalition who have come out and met with us and our teams as well. i think it's important that we understand what each of each other are looking at with it. as far as the overall project, we obviously support vision 0, and protected bike lanes. i think as charles mentioned, our visitors bike all over the city, our employees bike as well. and then obviously we are pedestrians and our guests are pedestrians as well. the one concern we have brought up along is the constriction of two lanes to one lane

jake shumano, the last person to turn in a speaker card. >> good afternoon, directors. we own and operate the shell station at the corner of bryant and 4th street. i would like to say just through speaking to business owners down there as well, that there have been a lot of impacts to small business in that location aside from the chinatown community that's been so impacted by that subway construction up there. ours is on grade, spoken to the owners of hotel utah, coin-op, as well as the grand club. all of them have expressed concerns about the duration of construction there as well. and then just speaking, oh, one more thing. the tunnel pops up under the freeway there, there is a rerouting of traffic, in order for cars headed southbound on 4th street to access the station they need to be in the left-hand lane. being out there at the station and operating it as asset manager, i've seen people in the right-hand lanes making a left hand turn to bryant street in front of our station. i think there needs to be better way finding signs out there. when the trains start runnin
