mr. reiskin, we go to item 8, citizens' advisory report. i believe mr. weaver is here. >> as he's coming forward, bus cars for the cable car substitution are free. >> chairman brinkman: thank you. >> good afternoon. the c.a.c. met last week and had the opportunity to discuss the bike share program, particularly the dominant one in the city. and we got some -- hopefully good ideas from that discussion that i will share with you today. you have to carry the ideas forward. the sfmta-cac recommends that the agency require bike share notices to be posted and mailed to all community organizations in the surrounding areas as well as neighbors within 500 feet. at least 30 days prior to a hearing and that the m.t.a. board requires m.t.a. staff and motivate staff to create and maintain a dedicated webpage with the following info. one, proposed locations for bike share stations 30 days before hearing. two, interactive map, including present approved and proposed bike share locations, station locations, that is. three, suggestion form for residents and constituents
