how we're dealing with this at hunters view is how we're dealing with this at potrero. to the extent possible we are creating a street grid that will feel more like a typical san francisco neighborhood. where we can't connect those streets because there are buildings on the site, we are creating pedestrian kecks, and where -- a lot of those pedestrian connections are already there, but they are a little more informal. we are formalizing them. we are making them safe. we have the lighting. and we will also be maintaining them. chair maxwell: and i think for those of us who -- i mean, san francisco is built on hills. we are used to that terrain. i keep hearing it, but that should not be any -- i don't think that should be a deterrent to connecting streets. we managed to do it on lump barred and all the other streets. here it has been, no excuses, get it done. that's what architects and designing is about, finding out a way, planning how to do it. so we have been doing that. supervisor mar, do you have anymore questions? ok. questions, comments. public comment is closed. t

hopefully for the potrero plans. and what doug mentioned in response to supervisor chiu, if kirkland does move forward, engaging in a more formal planning process. i won't go through that, but you can see on the presentation, the proposals for 2012, as well. so a few of our real estate accomplishments to date, i will highlight for you. hunter's view, we have the most to brag about, our pilot project as we have been touching on. we have relocated all the phase-one residents. the vast majority of which have stayed on site. we have been awarded $40 million in state funding. $8 million in federal funding thanks to the housing authority. the majority of that has been funding which the housing authority is committed to in conjunction with hope s.f. we committed the phase one, and we have gotten scant attention already -- we have gotten significant attention already for phase one. chair maxwell: how much is phase one's budget? >> i believe it is around $71 million. that includes housing and infrastructure. potrero, sunnydal

and then potrero hill is very different because is kind of a new yuppie population, and little hollywood and dog patch. >> historical, district and has been home to shipyards, heavy industry, and a naval base. now, the naval base and most of the shipyards and factories are closed, but the environmental problems continue to impact the district. let's hear how residents are responding to the environmental and health issues they are facing. >> it was hard to breathe last night. i woke up coughing, you know? those are the things that we go through because of the contamination out here. >> this community has a history of issues, environmental issues that have been let go, just run amok. sitting in a meeting once with the health department, we discovered haphazardly that they had known for years that in bayview hunters point, african- american women under the age of 50 had the highest rate of breast cancer in the entire state, but the health department has noted for years, and they failed to address it. they only started talking about it when we actually found out. >> we have babies that were

it's basically between potrero avenue and south van ness. very mixed neighborhood. and thirdly, i would point to show place square. but it basically at the base of potrero hills where the design related businesses are. it's the 3 clusters we look at. the fourth one is bay view's hunter's point. we have recommended to transition about half of the industrial land in those 4 neighborhoods out of industrial and into neighborhoods. it's a finely wrought compromise for the city's need for housing and the imperative to keep some of these larger rougher businesses able to survive in the city. from catering kitchens to auto repair. furniture wholesaling, a lot of things that need larger, cheaper spaces to occur. those businesses they provide support for the the city's front office economy. the downtown offices, tourist industry. all of those businesses need support for linen washing, printing and what have you. so the idea is to support the economy and secondly the jobs provided are very good stable jobs. some activities that used to be clearly unindustrial active, because o

potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, and then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver the

there is hunter's point, you can see it coming up over the potrero hill area, you can see fog heading your way if you're out towards hunter's point or candlestick point. the forecast for the fog is just as we talked about, it's back tonight, surprise surprise, it's -- we have just had an ongoing deal with this pattern and it's not going to change. this week will continue to be below average temperatures, it's not cold, and it's just a few degrees below the average. the coast we're talking about fog nights and mornings, just there. i don't think you'll -- didn't see much clearing yesterday, i think we did on saturday. we'll see more in deandre iguodala a bay, and temperatures coast side have been average at best. late in the afternoon right back to the beaches, partly to mostly sunny, temperatures on the high end, mid-80s, not mid- 90s, mid-80s, so temperatures on the cool side. fog will come back tonight, yule have it in your neighborhood tomorrow morning, continuing mild. i'll have the forecast for your area, your morning wake up temperature and the five-day forecast back here in a l

she will tell us about life in dogpatch, a clean neighborhood on the eastern edge of potrero hill, and we will learn how the residents convinced the city to a vigil -- to designate the area a historic district. >> dogpatch and the health and cottages are the historic houses in the area. those were built for the union ironwork. this really is one of the most original live-work neighborhoods in san francisco. because of this mix of housing and industrial, they need to sit in terms of scale and mass and height for the neighborhood. during the whole dot-com boom, we saw many move into the neighborhood. we found ourselves in combat before the planning commission for one project after another, and that was actually an impetus for the community to try to become a historic district. >> the process took our community approximately four years. we made presentations before pretty much every single supervisor and educated them about dogpatch. it was an arduous task, but once we went before the planning commission and then to the board of supervisors, lee did not have one person in the neighborhood

began my work with my current position, giving low-income homeowners and bayview hunters point and potrero hill free-soiler panels and educating them on the benefits of going grain and how to install solar panels. it's that's the guts of what it means to be green, how this can help your family save money on your pg&e bill and also have clean energy. from there, i started my own nonprofit organization to help the ill, underserved, and homeless. there's many people within the city that cannot afford to go to high schools and colleges, and i stood on a foundation within my organization to help them and the homeless as well. i also reactivated the harvey matthews/baby-hunters point club to give the community a voice, an opportunity to speak and vote as well. i submitted my application to the commission. i feel i would be a good asset. i have a irapport working with -- a good rapport working with community members. i'm a very engaged person. i will be very hard working and learn from within. thank you. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. colleagues, any questions at all? commissioner mar: thank

police say last night a driver nearly struck a man in the crosswalk at 18th and missouri street in the potrero hill neighborhood. witnesses say the two men began arguing and then the driver knocked the 52-year-old pedestrian to the ground. he left the scene in a car that may have been a gee orr an accura integra. and the license plate might start with 5xm or 5sm. >>> a muslim cab driver who was attacked in an apparent hate crime appeared today with new york city mayor michael bloomberg. the press conference was part have the city plan to ease tensions overbuilding a moving near the site of the 9/11. he slashed his throat and face after asking him if he was muslim. he is charged with assault and attempted murder. >>> crews are trying to fix an underground pipe redwood shores that has spewed thousands of gallons of raw sewage into the area. it is believed to have ruptured wednesday afternoon, now the sewage has buckled sprawl and flowed into 6 nearby homes and a nearby room. they are being told not to come in contact with this water. it's being pumped into sewage trucks and being taken to a near

. >> one is the bayview and one is about potrero hill, so it is clear that they are very geographically separated. i have a few questions. one, i want to suggest that we need to make clear that attendance area tiebreakers do not apply to city-wide seats or to see the white schools, so we all know that we are going to get their "i live near clarendon" or "are want to be in the area," so that is one thing i think we need to clarify for ourselves or for the public. i am kind of wondering, and i will ask -- i do not anticipate any of these questions take a long time to answer. we can take a long time, but i want to know whether we tried to take into account kids in thek-8 schools when we will try to do the middle school feeder patterns. all of the house to be stark, but it seems to me -- i'm afraid that what we have looked at is the presumption that everyone that is inan a k-8 school or elementary schools days in that school, and that is not true. >> i did look at what if there were no k-eight schools, and children went to a k-five school? i did that kind of sensitivity analysis and found t

. >> supervisors, i really have enjoyed the out-reach going on with the potrero rebuild. i have been somewhat involved trying to make sure there is a true integration with the neighborhood. by the way, sometimes i get in trouble using that word "integration." i mean it in the right way. we have, i think, achieved quite a bit just this week. the potrero merchant's association contracted with the giants to send 50 kids to ball games this summer, realizing there aren't that many things going on. those things happened because there is good communication and good education. so with that, i really am looking very much forward to rebuilding that whole community. the one thing supervisor maxwell knows, i have been mr. electricity and sewage and everything else. i think we can use powtrare owe -- potrero and sunnydale as examples on how to save millions of dollars. chair maxwell: that's why i was glad to see the p.u.c.'s involvement, and hopefully involved in more than just the regular ways, but involved in bringing some new programs to that new community as well. >> we have been
