time.e i don't have biking on fell and oak is scary. that after all of these pla'ning it, it's -- it's time to see it actually happen. thank you. >> chairman nolan: thank hlwéí next speaker please. >> bettym9ñ matthew, christopher full kerson and dave snyder. >> good evening. antioch baptist church at 1235 fell street. and we have had a bicycle accident. we have a driveway. we park in the]l- and bicycle came in front of a car, that was going into the driveway, and it was the fault of the bicycvjq and we are open on sunday, wednesday, thursday, friday, and saturday. a couple of weeks, to me,íú1&v l freeway. you come into san francisco. you leave san francisco. andyo that -- our -- station on fell street and divisadero is very3fÑ hazardous. and i was involved in a car accident about two weeks ago. someone4b.d)jz the far right lane tried to come to -- i was in the far left and they were in that gas station. fault. but the bicyclists come from fillmore on haight street and they make a left on scott street. there. bicyclists, if you want to

oak street and fell street are pretty fast. people are changing lanes, driving in close proximity to each other. they said what could we do to increase safety for everyone. they also, again, wanted to -- they reaffirmed that we should increase the comfort and direct connection for people on bicycles, that this is a key gap in the bicycle transportation network between the panhandle and the west and the wiggle and market street in the east. if we could just fix these three blocks that people could get directly to their destinations more people would ride bicycles more often. folks just wanted us to add greenery, they wanted to soften this neighborhood, and to add greenery where we could, sort of extend that feeling from the panhandle and even in the wiggle where there's street trees and plantings, if we could provide more of those opportunities in this neighborhood. we also heard from people some concerns about impacts to autos. you know, people were wanting to make sure that whatever we did here that we took into consideration

the same will happen over here on this corner of oak street. bikes will be coming down, any will be speeding around the corner and there will be conflicts. my suggestion is add bal bouts on the east side of scott street so that becomes a way where pedestrians can go without having bike conflict and allow people to walk north around south. my second point is to put bal lardz along the edge of sidewalk on fell and oak to keep cars from driving on the sidewalks parallel and parking in the middle of the sidewalks. they did it all the time in turning lanes and absence of curb side parking on scott street and will do it again unless enforced. one car parked for a limited period of time can block 30 pedestrians trying to get by and have to step out into traffic to get by. thank you. >> katherine orlan, howard shafner, robert. >> good afternoon. i'm a mission resident who often bikes through the project area both for recreation and for work and i'm in support of this proposal. i bike all over this city but fell and oak are by far the scariest places to

i think that oak street should have a bike lane like fell. oak is very dangerous. there's no telling whether the bike is going to go on the right or the left. but i think the fell street bike lane is adequate. a second bike lane, i don't understand how it would get swept out. at least our current street sweepers i don't think could get in there. if it fills up with refuse, and there's a lot of refuse around the neighborhood that gets swept up, i don't think the bicyclists should ride in it. that's pretty much all i want to say except in terms of pedestrian safety, the hazard is that there are so many people riding bicycles on the sidewalk. and we need some signs to keep them off. that's all. thank you for listening. >> chairman nolan: next speaker please. >> steven zavtoski, terry and ms. doyle. >> thank you for the time and opportunity to speak to you, i am a professor at the universities of san francisco in environmental studies and i serve as sustainability director at college of arts and sciences. in that capacity one of the projects i've been spearheading is t

it was a two-lane left turn from oak to masonic. it's now one lane, which is much better but there still could be a lot of improvements. this will improve conditions for everyone, walking and driving and biking. and it will make clear that masonic is not a speed way. people live along masonic, it's a neighborhood street and should be a place for people to walk in safety and comfort. >> stephanie tucker. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am stephanie tucker, we are here to express our strong support for this project. we have heard from district 5 residents their strong support for this. two deaths are too many along masonic avenue. and we thank everyone who has done their due diligence in outreaching to the community. and problem solving any potential issues that could come up as a result of removing parking. and i just want to say, our office is highly empathetic to our residents who are losing parking. especially those who have disabilities that prohibit them from being able to walk or take the bus. but in the e
