, the presidio has a shuttle that goes downtown. and within the park shuttles, but none of them are particularly close to my neighborhood. i have seen quite a few people who walk up that hill, up lover's lane to catch the jackson at presidio. so i hope you keep it. in addition, i wanted to mention no one has addressed costs and i'm sure costs and cost-savings is part of the whole reassessment. i have been on the bus, when the clipper purchase isn't working, so everyone with a clipper card rides free and i have often received transfers that are 4-6 to 8 hours' duration. so i think you could look at that side of the picture, in addition to cutting back on services. thank you [ laughter ] [ applause ] . thank you. next speaker. [ reading speakers' names ]. >> any of those folks in the room. >> good afternoon, i am here -- >> could you tell us your name. >> janell drian. i am here to strongly -- it is a line that connects my neighborhood to downtown. it is a very decent line. if i were to have to take another line, i would be stuck in a

i want to introduce a member from the presidio steering committee and he's to talk about the committee do you want all those folks to continue standing behind you? forever >> forever? (laughter) >> okay. thanks san francisco i didn't. good morning, commissioners and a quick shout out to all the kids and colleagues in the highway that were here to support this initiative. just a quick show of hands how many of you grew up in on a urban area? okay. great. how many of you are raising or have raised children in an urban area? okay. great. and how many of you are kids growing n up in on a urban area. kids which all ages here. i just wanted to give you a quick back story of how we came to this moment in the history of our city. it was back in 2005 that i statewide collaborative called the round table of parks and tourism came and collaborated in the bill of rights. in the past 8 years there's been more than 25 other states and a cities to create they were version. also what happens happened in the is last 8 years we hit a big landmark in our history back in 2007 when most human beings live i

so on behalf of parks and presidio trust we join rec and park as clearly the leader so we can work as a community i want to pass out drafts which is in 3 languages. we want to achieve the endorsements the rec and park logo would be in the blue area but the role out would happen in the springtime. i want to end with a short quote by a former child growing up in san francisco. i exported every foot of the valley thoounl u stoounl through the thick brush and following the clay before it met the pacific. i traced who i am to those years of growing up in our house on the dunes adams. thank you for your time >> commissioners we have several cards for comment. we do have public comment. so (calling names) you can come up in any order. >> hi, i'm sally i'm with sf dog. i want to say i went to the website the rec and park website to find information on what this bill of rights was and there was nothing on the website. all i got was the agenda under the spring documents is i went online and it's getting children outside. it is official listing to make that happen. there is a very broad way of o

rain, and all of that kind weather, but i have also rode the cable car when it went all the way to presidio, the california cable car. thank you >> thank you sir. [ reading speakers' names ]. >> mark christenson, third generation san franciscan. very simple put there are elements of the transit effectiveness project that need to be reevaluated before implementation. there are two elements that many believe are flawed. getting from point a to point b is the supposed time savings for the individual transit rider or for the muni vehicle? at appears that the proposal are for the vehicle to get to point a to point b at the sacrifice of the passenger to get from starting point a to their final destination point b. elimination of stops. this means that the individual rider will have to walk a greater destination and the time it takes to walk from the discontinued stop -- this does not help the individual getting from point a to point b and this certainly hinders the elderly, the disabled and parents with small children by eliminating stops. one of the best features of muni it has convenient stops

so let me describe our community of 60 square blocks, consisting of portions of pacific and presidio heights, transected by the no. 3 jackson. we are 1500 regular riders getting on and off the no. 3 jackson in this area. we do 4,000 round-trips per week, 650 of these round-trips are within our community. 28% of our ridership is greater than 65 years of age. we have students and staff at nine local schools. we have tourists staying at three local hotels. we feel that it is important for us to all of us to use the no. 3. the level of importance is reflected by the petition and emails that you have received recently. all of us support muni and all of us would like to continue riding the no. 3 jackson. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> anne long. wayne fung. barbara bocce. john paxton. >> good morning, miss long. >> good afternoon. i simply wanted to introduce you to the people who have gone to the trouble of coming to this meeting, but that is not really going to be possible, considering that we are split in two rooms. >> that is of course for safety reasons and fire reasons. >>

but we have noted that if you lived in say the park presidio area and going to market with the 5l, you are now making that trip five minutes faster. five minutes twice a day, because you go down and back, that is 10 minutes. you have five days a week, you have almost saved an hour of time a week by the improvements that we have made on the 5 fulton service. the trade-offs are focused on on-street parking and that is a discussion that we need to have with the community going forward. the second type of project or major improvement bucket we have identified is service changes. one of the major tenets of the tep is increasing neighborhood service. so the 28l, our proposal for the 28l is a great example. it currently runs north-south from the marina to daly city bart and operates during the school peaks. so a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the late afternoon and our proposal is to run that in the southern end, extend that service over to mission -- the mission corridor. and extend to van ness and north point and run that service all day. so we're really connecting

the idea you can go into the presidio or golden gate park won u run as fast as you can and they love that. this is an important program. thank you. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> morning commissioners general manager i'm anna i manage policies at the park alliances i'm here on behalf of that to support of the children's outdoor bill of rights. we hope that it are inform other cities. i applaud my colleague for helping with this. we're really exfoliated it's before the commission today and hope you'll support it thank you. thank you >> anyone else who wants to make a public comment will. public comment is closed commissioners >> thank you, commissioner lo it. >> i want to commend all you as to someone who is currently raising two small children in the city there's a profoundly difference we're very blasz blessed to be able to comment ourselves for an urban experience for our children and make sure they know how important nature is to our lives. i look forward to supporting this >> knew commissioner leo. i guess it's a question to the general manager if we endorse thi

so on behalf of parks and presidio trust we join rec and park as clearly the leader so we can work asch is in 3 languages. we want to achieve the endorsements the rec and park logo would be in the blue area but the role out would happen in the springtime. i want to end with a short quote by a former child growing up in san francisco. i exported every foot of the valley thoounl u

but for boulevard neighbors and the presidio neighbors, i think you might want to take a look at that. and the other efforts you might have to look at. i do want to say that i see less of the large vehicles along full ton and park presidio where i live. i do know there are vehicles but there are otherwise that have gone to other parts of the city or lft the city or maybe housed to other areas i would like to see the broad success. >> supervisor tang? i'm sorry, would you like to speak? >> basically the project manager for this. i just want to say, on behalf of the mta that this really is something that the mta's brought forward in response to the board of supervisors specifically district 4 over the years. there really isn't a program at the mta, there isn't a project that we are bringing forward. there is no end -- game. we have to be really honest. there isn't a place for this. we are entirely for the board of supervisors to provide some sort of tools to respond to constituents who are concerned and complaining about safety and health and blight and having gone through several decad

we have a big construction project that is in the workings in the presidio in san francisco.will have striping done, along with tree removal on highway one and 101 northbound and southbound to widen the northbound lanes to make it to the golden gate bridge. with all of that work being done you could so a showdown going today. here is a look at the drive through fremont southbound 880 at the parkway we have an accident, a car went off the roadway and it is not blocking any lanes but crews are headed out there. the dry time traffic shows everything in the grown so you at top speed. this is the drive through walnut creek southbound long 680, busy but traffic is moving. kristen? >> this morning there are no reports of damage or injury after a small earthquake in sonoma county. the 2.8 earthquake was reported at 9:55. according to the experts it happened southeast of the geysers. >> this morning, fire investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fire that left up to 30 people homeless. the fire broke out inside an apartment complex near union street at powell. firefighters

we have tree removal taking place northbound and southbound highway one and 101 through presidio at 9 through the next day until 2:00 p.m. they clear everything so the afternoon drive can move out of san francisco and across the bay but until then you could see a little bit of a backup. prepare for that. because of the fire, northbound 101, the off-ramp will be shut down for a couple of hours so use woodside instead. there is a last smoke in the area to keep the ones rolled up. kristen and eric? >> thank you, leyla gulen. san francisco firefighters are on the scene of a frightening home collapse this happened last night. investigators are looking to an interesting angle of the home's owner. amy hollyfield is at twin peaks with the latest. amy? >> yes, eric, the home is still intact. some of it did come listen last night. something gave way. it was enough to worry police and enough to go ahead committee advantage bit a house last night here in this neighborhood. one home has been evacuated, just to be safe and it is very come pact here in the twin peaks area. this house is a deadend of

northbound 101 from presidio to the golden gate tolls until 7:00 this morning. if you you are planning on leaving san francisco and need to head into marin county, you will possibly have to use a detour. as we look at to drive, away from sfo right into san francisco it is a clear ride as you can see and plenty of green on map as we make it up to the bay bridge you have wonderful commute so far and just nine minutes gets you fromto third. outside, this drive is through san rafael and if you are headed in the southbound direction from marin county toward san francisco you are, looking at a 15-minute commute. so, clear and accident-free. >> the sex of the man -- sexiest man alive has a new gig in the bloomberg business report with a new pitch. >> what new foreclosure news are telling us about the economy. >> teens got wild, what a >>> covering san rafael, south bay, pleasanton and all bay area, this is abc7 news. >> new this morning in hawaii state officials have identified the person killed in a plane crash yesterday as one of their own. the director of the hawaii

since then that lone surviving wild specimen has been propagated in secret locations around the presidiond cared for by a small army of volunteers. >> they are working together to protecting this plant and making sure those clippings survive. >> reporter: but the story doesn't end there. an environmental group filed a lawsuit demanding that the u.s. fish and wildlife service list the plant under the endangered species act. >> the act requires that we protect species of the united states for the american people. >> reporter: so by law, the federal government had to produce a report identifying potential habitat recovery areas. >> vaguely indicated on a map, it's hard to read it correctly, but it seems to me to include the area we're standing on. >> reporter: as you might expect, when mira loma park residents saw their neighborhood near the habitat zone they had some questions. >> what does this mean to people who live here? there's obviously general concern about, you know, the fact that something could happen to the area over which we have no control and we have not been counseled about.

we've had since this cold snap began in the city of san francisco. 34 degrees forest hills. 36 in presidio. it's very cold. cold enough for frost. you do want to keep that in mind. along the peninsula we're in the 20s and 30s, 27 degrees redwood city, foster city at 31 degrees, and as i always point out a lot of you know this by now, coldest point of the day is around sun rise so we're still going to drop off. 28 in los gatos. cold enough for black ice. throughout the morning hours you do want to travel cautiously. actually looks like wet pavement causes that ibs assistant loss of traction. really take it easy. the guy who knows about this, mike inouye, what are we watching out there? >> we're watching for exactly that. let's point out a few things. first of all the bay bridge backup because the metering lights are on. they approach out of the maze smooth but this formed quickly, holding about with west grand avenue. it's starting to build. we'll look at the maps and show you the vicinity on the approach a smooth drive, northbound 880 at fifth we have the closure still because of that big

get downtown if i want to go to laurel village after school, i take the 3 jackson the other way to presidio and california. so the one california is like -- especially if i am coming from my dad's office back-to-school for some reason, i would end up walking up five blocks of steep hills instead of walking, like, no blocks, no streets. [ laughter ] so yeah, please don't eliminate it. thank you. >> thank you. [ reading speakers' names ] >> you will have a greater future in city hall, i can tell now. [ laughter ] >> is mr. schmidt here? laura stillman. theresa oberzero. >> good afternoon. >> i'm on a different matter, which is the j church stop, but i'm really appreciative of all of these folks and their points, and i won't repeat them. a very, very steep hill and if our stop were eliminated, liberty street. if you walk in one direction, you have to go up-and-down and up in the other direction you have to go down and then up a very, very steep hill. so it's the same thing. we have a lot of elderly people in our area. and people who rely on it to get to work everyday. i really prefer to take t

think they have communicated to the mta but it's pushed people on front street and 14th after along presidio boulevard. i think that's the impact. and in determining success that is one question i have is how can you determine success when it pushes people to other spots and in your data of displacement of folks that live in their vehicles. i would like to know from duffy and police captain a little bit more about the tracking of the human impact from pushing people that may not have a home out of an area that they may have been relying to other areas. those are some questions about the affects of the analysis because displacing people is critical and what about the large vehicles that are pushed as well. >> that is a very good question. from our ends related to the parking situation, i would be glad to share with you. >> right before midnight is where the number of people will move their vehicles conveniently to another spot very close by. whether it's success or not, to me it has to carefully track whether displaced people impact and what kind of services or lots have been developed but al

and particularly i am interested where i think we have a presentation on the presidio projects, and i am very favorable to the lucas one looking at the design and fitting in to what himy comment were. and second i want to talk that was in that "60 minutes" is amazon and the drones that they were planning deliver their packages but what we should take out is that their growth has been astronomical. and in the statistics from black friday to cyber monday, there was a huge increase of buying online and flat at the brick and mortar stores. i think the lesson we need, while we are concerned about formula retail and its competition with our non-formula retail independent stores of the same type or not the same type. i think their biggest threat probably comes from online buying. not that there is anything wrong with it. many of the companies here in the city support that type of thing. but if we are trying to employ people and keep brick and mortar businesses, and particularly small ones. the important thing is to draw people out of their houses into the neighborhoods to shop. if everyone s

look at the san francisco numbers, 36 degrees in presidio, 41 degrees in mission and look at this, 36 degrees. temperatures are going to be cold. we're not going to thaw out until 10:00, 11:00 a.m. bundle up. dress in layers and keep those on most of the day. temperatures are going to climb from the 20s into the 40s and 50s for today. in the south bay, cold in campbell, 27 in santa teresa. 27 in morgan hill. so count on frost if you parked outside. temperatures are going to be cold all day, 50 in cupertino. mid market of san francisco 51. only 48 degrees in fremont and 49 in pleasanton. we have more weather headed our way as we speak. showers in northern california start up tonight. then if we get showers overnight friday into saturday morning, we could see a rare dusting of snow at some low levels. i'm going to get into that. right now, though, let's check on the traffic alert with mike. >> good morning. 880 down in san jose, that is an issue as you head southbound. one of the lanes is closed. the off ramp is open. 880 up here in oakland moves smoothly. we have crews north of the col

for the public and employees, we held our safe driver awards ceremony this past sunday up in the presidio and what the safe driver awards is is a program to recognize the muni operators with 15 or more years of safe driving record. very pleased to be joined by our board chair as well as directors lee and ramos and this was an event we did collaboratively between the agency and local 258, the transport workers a union, the folks who represent our operators. we had 174 operators who were eligible for the award, six of whom had more than 35 years of safe driving with the mta, one of them i think had 41 years of safe driving with the mta, really phenomenal given the challenges we have here. we will be bringing some of those operators to our next meeting for this board for some public recognition but just wanted to acknowledge really the superior commitment and skill that so many of our operators have operating in san francisco. we're happy to bring back this award program and it was something that we did again in conjunction with local 258 and i did want to thank the team that led on this, it

>> a big construction project this will begin today and this is long the presidio if you are traveling between highway one and 101, this is where we have tree removal taking place this week. we will see lanes blocked off starting today and that is going to run through the end of the week. it is due in large to the northbound side, enlarging the number of lanes making commuting better but until that, it will slow down the commute. be prepared. do plan ahead. here is the drive time traffic. highway 4, antioch to hercules is 28 minutes and when you get to i-80 from four to the maze that is 15 minutes and san jose is 87 northbound from 85 to the san jose airport that is eight minutes. now, as we check owe the drive coming beyond the julian street off-ramp to the tank you can see three cars, not too bad. >> hollywood lost two long time stars, actor peter o'toole passed away this weekend following a long illness. >> he had eight nominations for the oscars and he began acting on stage in london in the 1950's and played reading roles for conclude as to come. >> and the first clip was from "my
