express my appreciation for two commissioners who will be departing this commission, commissioners norman yee and sandra lee fewer. you two have exerted leadership on transportation as well as san francisco and your respective districts while you've been members of this body. commissioner yee not only chaired this body for many years but was one of the original authors of our city's original vision zero ordinance a year after he joined in 2018. he helped create our vision zero committee, which i still serve on and served as vice chair for two years, led as chair for five years, and during this time, commissioner yee passed many pieces of legislation and led any number of traffic safety policy initiatives, including calling for the priority of safety measures over traffic and parking, expanding daylighting citywide. commissioner yee championed funding for quick bills, traffic calming, red light enforcement, and other actions to protect seniors and children and all road users. he advocated along with walk s.f. and various families for safe streets, both here and in sacramento and nationally, in

i also want to say thank you to our immediate past board president norman yee for his service and the black women who serve as president of this board of supervisors before me. including our mayor london breed. early 2020 started with a major pandemic. and then we witnessed so many injustices for black people and people of color. whether it was the killings at the hands of law enforcement, or a divisive leader in the white house trying to racialize covid-19 and blame a specific community. this all led to a movement that set us all to bring everyone together. to understand that the lives of black people and the lives of people of color do matter. through all of those challenges, this board of supervisors has remained focus on addressing the issues and concerns that exist in all of our communities. i also bring the voice of all communities to the table. this board has taken a bold step entrusting me with collectively carrying out a vision of unity for all of san francisco. and sending a bold message that we can and we will work together. covid-19 has changed all of our lives forever. it

of all of the issues that now almost 40 supervisors have said this when norman yee was retiring two or three days ago, 39 supervisors that i have served with. as of a few minutes ago, six board presidents, five mayors over the last 20 years. today is the exact anniversary of the first day that i was sworn in 20 years ago. thank you again, sean elsman, for reminding me of that this morning. but today -- and i think that supervisor chan just said that, that the issues that we are facing are more particularly and more remarkably profound. and we were all steeped in the 1906 earthquake and fire. i used to go down there at 5:00 in the morning with willie brown, and we became an example of national emergency preparedness. but nobody taught the harsh lessons of the 1918 pandemic, which we are learning and re-learning right now. so i really want to thank our frontline responders, our doctors, our nurses, ambulance drivers. and we've got a clear mandate to continue to reform health care, which started actually in san francisco. we had quasi public health care in this city -- thank you tom -- be
