. >> i am karen reese. i am the parent of fourth grader at friends school. my daughter rides her bike every morning to san francisco with her father. her own bike. i am grateful the city of san francisco and the mta and made or breed are working hard to make biking safer in san francisco. i have seen great progress in the 21 years i have lived in san francisco to make biking safer. however, for the protected bike lanes i am concerned not sufficient consideration has been given to ensure the safety of the children attending friends and the project has been too rushed. i ask the board of director to delay the project to allow more thorough assessment how children can be protected. i am concerned they may run across the bike lanes when they exit the car. would it be possible to have a physical barrier between the bike lanes and island, crossing guards and cyclists to allow the safe crossing of the bike space. can children line up to allow unloading of the cars payment? will the timing work for unloading car to avoid a backlog of cars during rush-hour traffic? i
