. >> commissioner koppel. >> commissioner koppel: i like to thank the passionate speeches of supervisor safai. i grew up in this south park of town and went to the same schools that president cohen did. very familiar with the neighborhood. it feels really good to have the support of our supervisors. because often when we hear these items that seem to keep coming to us and we hear the word d.d.i., i start bracing myself for what we're going to hear this time. it's just a really awkward position to be in. this is about doing the right thing. when i was working in the field, i built hospitals, i built office buildings and high-rise housing, installed fire alarms. we pulled our permit. we installed the work up to code. we got our inspections. there was no other way to do it. i remodeled my sister's kitchen. i could have pulled the dry rot permit and knocked it out the weekend. i didn't do that. i pulled the permit. replaced a window in back of my house. i could have done it in an hour. no one would have known. i pulled the permit. i had it inspected. that's how you do things here in san fra

. >> vice president melgar: commissioner koppel? >> commissioner koppel: i agree. i don't think we have all the information. is there a bus stop there? i'm thinking that maybe it's taking the place of that. and i think a pedestrian was killed on that middle section last year, so maybe they're trying to re-engineer that. >> vice president melgar: ms. hoe hams. msms. ms. mohan, can you said some light on this? >> there is a bulb-out that's been proposed before, but they sped up the work due to the pedestrian fatality that was mentioned. and it's a larger effort for it to be repaved. so sfmta has been working with caltrans and public works on that project overall. so that is indeed happening. >> vice president melgar: thank you. director? >> that's helpful information. we've didn't know that. i was going to say, if the commission is supportive of the rezoning, you could move that part of it forward. because i think what i hear is broad support for the rezoning itself, which would give them assurances about that. and then if you wanted to separate it or given the new i

. >> president hillis: commissioner koppel? >> commissioner koppel: yeah. as the weeks go on, we're seeing these items where people exceed their scope of work. i think i just figured out why this happens, how it happens, and why it frustrates us so: i know from my work in the field, from my work as a project contractor and estimator, if you're contracted to build a job, you never go outside of your scope because you won't get paid to do that work. i cannot imagine once in my life if i've ever done extra work than i was supposed to do on a job because either my boss will get mad at me or i would have gotten mad at my crew because i would have told them hey, we're not getting paid to do that. why are you working for free? so it baffles me to see contractors doing extra work that they within the permit -- weren't permitted to do in the first place, and it must have been they were told to exceed the scope or what was on the drawings because otherwise, they wouldn't have done the work. they're not going to do extra work for free. if you're supposed to dig 5 feet
