especially on potrero hill. there is a lot of parking at mission bay that i am aware of and hopefully, there will be other structures that will be built to allow some of the employees to park and not have to look for street parking in the vicinity. another thing that was brought up was the transit on 16th street. that is critical. that is a major corridor between caltrain and light rail and bart on 16th and mission. that is unnatural for other robust transit that brings people right along there. they have every reason to believe that people coming in on part are using -- the might want to make that shortcut to get to the mission bay area. to go further along and having to take the light rail in the other direction, even though we will get the central subway in the future. that has to be studied. architecturally, a good job. i know you are working on the -- with the neighborhood on the palette. the windows, it is a little bit of an unusual window pattern and somewhat random. i know there is a reason but generally

i have been born and raised on potrero hill and i have seen this eyesore forever. it is a fantastic product -- project. you did a phenomenal job of bringing in wholefoods and zinc and twitter. it is amazing. that project needs to be approved. we have been too numerous amounts of neighborhood meetings and i am in favor of approving the project. thank you. >> president olague: thank you. >> hello, i am president of dog patch neighborhood association. and chairman of green trust, sf. i have been involved in this project for many years as they have come to the neighborhood association and as far as the point of view of the green space and connecting greenways between dog patch and the rest of downtown. i want to say we feel this project is a good one. it will help connect what our existing residential spaces down on 16th street. this is a big project. it is going to add a lot. i also like the way they have designed the space on seventh street to buffer the noise, to have some interesting lighting going on. i note -- i like the way the p dr is offered on the north side.

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

this is porterville -- potrero hill. we want to meet with the developer and get a project we can all be proud of. >> president olague: thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. executive director of global city. there's a lot to like about this project. some of the open space stuff is clever. some thought has gone into the architectural design. we're interested in this project because it will in live in the corner of two very important streets in the city. seventh, we envision this as a gateway street that would lead from the muni station down to downtown western soma and down to 16th street. seventh is an important street. it is the street. -- that has the potential to connect north of market to mission bay. it is the important we get the street frontage is right. we're here to object to the proposed exception under section 329 from the active use requirements. we have been before this commission twice this year. to strengthen the active use requirements and extend them to every district. we have been to the mixed us

police have rushed to a shooting scene in the potrero hill neighborhood. you know? >> reporter: good morning. this is the 1000 block of connecticut, near 25th and connecticut. police are investigating. apparently the suspect ran in there. according to police, there was a shooting somewhere in this neighborhood. they are not sure where exactly. a bomb in her 40s was shot once in the ankle. she's been taken to the hospital for treatment. what you are looking at now is the man who is the suspect. police confirmed that for me. i don't know if you saw the paper bags on his hands but bliss say they put that on -- put them on there to preserve evidence. it could be gun residue or blood. but that's why they -- that's why they are on there. police are still looking for the weapon. the sergeant on the scene told me they are gonna take the suspect downtown question him. if he tells them where the gun is, they will come back here and get it. if not, they have to go through the neighborhood piece by piece. the good thing -- you sigh some of the officers leaving the apa

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

we don't have people talking to the potrero hill association. all of these different fragmented conversations are happening. there largely talking about the same thing, crime, keeping streets clean, businesses, supporting small businesses, maintaining and making sure the city is livable for everyone. no one really looked to their neighbors. they stayed within their neighborhood, but did not reach beyond the boundaries. that is one thing i saw that i actually made a concerted effort on the campaign to build bridges. for me, that goes beyond the neighborhood. it goes to connecting the southeast to the large part of san francisco, wake up, we're out here. we want bike paths, dog parks, open space. we no longer want to have a neighborhood or a reputation of a crime-filled community. the other thing that i learned is really, we are all human. how to connect with that spirit, whether you're living in public housing, owning your own property, your asian, african american, we are all one. we are a community. when we realize and move in the direction of

the potrero hills landfill in solano county, a facility which everyone agrees is first class when it comes to garbage. but back in 1984, solano county residents took a vote and decided on a limit for imported trash. >> we don't want you to be bringing in more than 95,000 tons of garbage from outside annually. >> reporter: almost 30 years later that vote is causing some problems. >> if each city and county said we are not going to take waste from san francisco that would be a problem. >> reporter: to avoid that problem, san francisco assemblywoman fiona ma is offering bill 1178. in short it declares trash a regional almost statewide issue. or as she puts it -- >> my bill simply says that a local city and county cannot discriminate against waste from another jurisdiction. >> reporter: the folks in the business of trash agree. >> place like san francisco that needs to get rid of its trash has to rely on the counties around it just like it relies on the counties around it for its workers, for its transportation network. >> reporter: so while voters here want a cap on imported waste that
