my name is lawrence lee. i depend on bike because it gets me around. in 2014 sf mta released a bicycle strategy for the investment infrastructure. i think it was a correct acknowledgment that it was needed. i applaud the goals presented today by the sf mta, specifically by the budget presented is not what it is now. it's half of what we need. it's also dependent on a november ballot. it leaves major gaps. downstairs in the photo exhibition, there is a bicycle parking meter. that reflects how bicycling is a necessary part of contemporary life in san francisco. we are a decade 1/2 in the century and infrastructure lacks a lot. i would really like to know why these plans are being watered down. particularly concerned about how we are only accomplishing part of the bicycle strategy. when we should be advertising the entire strategy without gaps with aggressive investment. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> my name is elias. i want to say that i agree with lawrence and leah. why are you only funding half of your goals. keep in mind
