r t traffic could run along the side >> let me just pause with this octavia project at oak and octavia and market those are two of the most dangerous intersections in our city yet this is possibility proposed in terms of public safety. can you explain why this is better for gary boulevard then what is experienced in octavia boulevard as it relates to public safety >> we really need to flush out all the compacts of the boulevard design. are one of the things that's different is some of the issues you encounter is if you look at obama staff there's a lot of traffic coming on and off the billboard and this creates issues where o staff crows market street. we think with the gary street in this area we think we can come up with ways to handle some of the cross traffic which is lower than the cross traffic you get for example, in market into octavia and the freeway. there are circulation issues that need to be thought about in more daily but based on the work we've done we think it's promising. from the standpoint if you have a boulevard it circulates out the circulation it is a benefit for

we discussed market and octavia and other areas of the city lost somewhere in the great mass but the problem is worse by businesses who want to expand their clientele at the sidewalks. with those two proposals thank you very much for raising the issue >> thank you. >> hi. i'm steven i'm with the mrntd and i own a business on polk street. i know this is an issue on double parking but i think you can expand this proposal throughout the city. they had parking and delivery they thought b about that polk street was that lanes at one time so trucks could double park they'd stay on the two-lane part of the street and that was removed l about 15 years ago to accommodate some bicycle lanes. polk street is one of the highest double parking areas. now to change polk street we've added as supervisor chu said we've had many meetings by when the plan come out there was no provision for yellow zones on the side of the street we permitted bike lanes no yellow zones. and the mta said oh, we'll put them up the side street and i don't think they're planning on that. most of us think about deliveries of

in fact, octavia boulevard just opened this year after 16 years later.is a long, long process. i was thinking that, you know, it's hard to make decisions in the crisis mode after an earthquake, yet, you have tremendous emergency powers where you have the opportunitier to make decision that is might formally take years and years where you can make -- you can say here's what we're going to do. if you have strong leadership and clear goal. gabriel how do you think we're going to deal with the post earthquake recovery? >> part of it is having plans in place for anything that is going to beÑi rebuilt differently than it is now. not starting that conversation after the disaster, but starting itÑi now. again, the vast majority of privately owned buildings we're going to want to allow people to rebuild what they have and encourage people to invest their money and rebuilding and we're not going to want to do some grand replanning. there may be some places where we want to make an exception and we want to, if things are completely destroyed, we want to thinkÑi abo

what happened to your community center on market and octavia? what happened to the pride parade?n my opinion, it's all in the dead man's curse. nobody can control it. it's up to the voodoo doctors in new orleans. they even have the effect on the room fire, how much money did the city lose in revenues because of that fire? that had to be a supernatural occurrence. i blame it on the dead man's curse. so, let the mayor's office and the board of supervisors continue to ignore the dead gay man, but all i have to say is beware the shadow of joseph [speaker not understood]. it comes when it shows up and nobody is safe. nobody is safe. thank you. >> next speaker. >>> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is spencer ghosh. i've been a resident of san francisco 30 years. i've been a building inspector the city and county 33 years. i'm here not because i want to, but i have to. the building inspection has become corrupt [speaker not understood] by those entrusted with its leadership. i have previously complained in writing to my union to investigate and eliminate the hostile work environment

so, like an overlay where it would show the market octavia area, so when you are looking at the map, you would know this is eastern neighborhoods, you know, just show the borderline and people would at least know projects in that area could be subject to community plan exemption and they can look up specific addresses. anything we can do to make the map a little hotter so thats it's easier for people to say where things fall in. obviously in an ideal world you can scroll over and see general zoning and much more detailed information. but at least if we could just hot -- do the borders of the plan areas, then people at least have a sense of whether an area would be -- could be eligible for a community plan exemption even for a project that comes forward. >> we might want to do that in the context of the website dealing with those specific plan -- with those plans themselves and provide that as an ongoing information source. >> in terms of search and query, can you pull up a list of -- i saw that there was a list for a particular site. are you able to pull up a list for like if you wan
