john knox white. i'm the planning manager in the sustainable streets project. i am speaking on behalf -- not on behalf but that a lot of work that julia wilson on our team did, and i wanted to make sure that they want recognized for her work especially since this is her final tuesday with the agency. she'll be leaving us to go off to graduate school on friday, so we will be sad to miss her. but i wanted to make sure that having gone through this project, all of her hard work was recognized. >> you wanted to put her through one final board meeting? >> we wanted to make sure she was here before she left. >> thank you. >> so just for a quick background, i know it's been a long meeting, so i won't go very long. you know, we convened in 2015 and 2016 a community committee of about 12 -- about ten people to discuss concerns that had arisen and -- over decades in the delores park area around people parking along the median along delores street along 14th and 18th. at that time, we conducted community surveys and found that there was a strong interest in the community

the group has been involved with ad campaigns with the sfmta and john knox white, to really spaed awareness of traffic campaigns in our city. we had our first retreat this summer where we came together and stepped back and start today do some planning, so that was really exciting. and then finally, just last week, the group won the golden wheel award from the san francisco bike coalition which was a really big honor and big deal. so i will end by telling you what we're going to do now. they're going to go to new york in december for the nshl bike cities conference. we're planning day of remembrance, which will be november 18, and we're hoping you'll all join us, and we're doing a lot of foundation building for the group. we kind of got out of the group really quickly with a.s.e., and now we need to step back and get some things in place. but we're really strong and really excited, and so i hope that the group can come -- i hope some members can come and meet you all. it's hard. some of the members have full-time jobs and they don't live in the city, but i hope you can get to meet some of th
