supervisor mar: because supervisor carmen chu and katie from her office sponsor this, you do not need to go through a petition process of the residence, is that right? >> the process is what we used, which is notifying everyone who lives on the block and giving them an opportunity to voice the pros or comments and whether they would like to rename the street or not. it is a policy matter of the board, as long as agencies such as mta, parking and traffic, dpt, dpw do not object. i will turn it over to the deputy to make sure on back. supervisor mar: if a supervisor does not sponsor or departments have concerns, could the residents still gather the petition and bring it as a policy issue, even if the supervisor who's in -- a district isn't it impacting is not the main sponsor? >> absolutely. oftentimes, neighborhood groups might have the petition. when the petition is submitted by neighbors, is a pretty good- sized feet. when a board member sponsors it, it is part of our course to proceed and go through the review process. supervisor mar: thank you. >> thank you. supervisor mar: colleag
