portland was doing some of this. but we don't like being second place to portland. so, eat your heart out, portland. we took a little bit from bloomberg in new york and that was the idea of payment to park land but we don't like to be second place, we are now doing more on that and we took the ideas from chicago. and i will say if there is any father or mother of these ideas it is mayor daley in chicago who is on these things years and years ago. i went out there when i first became mayor, got so jealous going down michigan avenue i said we have to do something so we stole their greening director and brought her out here and tasked here with putting these plans together and i want to specifically acknowledge astrid and her hard work and collaborative effort with all of you as well. i'm excited about this. i'm proud of this. this is a special day for me. thank you for all the hard works. this crease jobs, increases -- this creates jobs, increases values of property and increases the likelihood that people will come down and stay longer. it creates a sense of identity

good, that's in portland, in case you thought it was paradise. and that's the before, and i will show the after. but the philosophy of safety that i want to talk about, it takes us to some unconventional thinkers. and now you should be looking at david sitting in the middle of a roadway, and he's an australian thinking that promoted the idea of uncertainty and intrigue in the right-of-way. and i want to mention hans who decide from the netherlands and had this idea to take away from the signs and proliferation of the signs and devices. and take those away and in some settings, you can do that and increase the safety for everyone. and being about that whole idea of what safety means. and then i think david said that safety is maximized when perceived risk is equal to or higher than actual risk. he's got a formula and then i have a slide, when you see something unexpected. it does make you kind of stop and reassess what is going on and so you know my bias and i am the kind of mom and they sat in a chair unrestrained on to which a car and they grew

we look at new york, chicago, los angeles, portland, san diego, santa clara, and east bay. we wanted to see where sfpuc was on the pendulum of community programs and how it stack up with other agencies across the country. in terms of utilities, the good news is we are way ahead of the curve. you have some terrific programs. they cover many different areas. they can create sustainable relationships with the community and its customers, and we will talk about what we think should be the next steps. we also found that there is not a standard definition of community benefits. nobody has won. there is no set of guidelines anywhere throughout the country. even in australia. we look as far as australia to see what they are doing. they are very much in the leadership in this area of community benefits. all were subject to some kind of economic or political climate structural organization or legal restriction. most utilities offer the baseline of community benefits like education, sustainability, tabling at community events. what we concluded was that out of all of those agencies wa
