my name is lee ann ladia. i work in the field of art, history, and design. i work at somcan and soma filipinas. i usually work in community engagement, creating community planning workshops with youth, seniors, and parents, and i urge you to take note of this process whenever you design something in the south of market so that the designs and the feedback that you will get will be culturally competent. in terms of the central soma plan, the reality of global warming coupled with high concentration of automobiles in the south of market lead to an urgent need to take proactive steps to address greenhouse gas emissions and poor air quality. there is such a lack of green space and greenery in general in the south of market and just last week i was in a community planning workshop with seniors from mendelsohn house, and they were complaining that there's such a lack of green space in soma. and they would actually going to washington park at kearny street, take the 30 bus to exercise, to do their daily exercise. and i also urge you to think about, you know, these
