i have attended the psac meetings for a very long time as a member of the public. and i noticed that the one advantage i've seen with the psac, really a great advantage, is its continual organization. it obviously reports to the board of supervisors and it has the capability of really having a strategic function and for that reason as i have attended meetings i've thought, well, we do, the psac has a lot of input from various organizations on traffic calming, on street modification, and one of the suggestions i did make not too long ago was that the police should really, we should step back, the police should really give us an idea of how well are we doing with regard to pedestrian-vehicle accidents including the number of fatalities. in a periodic sense so that we have some idea of how well the city is doing compared to the -- with respect to the metrics that will come out of the mayor's goals and in fact in comparison with other cities in america and throughout the world. my view is that we're dealing not only with tragedy but we're dealing with health issues, he

incorporating all the input that comes into the city that people in the psac, we should be doing our own individual -- we do that when we submit a report to the board of supervisors but we can spend time actually pulling things together, looking at the data which may or may not come from the organizations in the city, and pull that together and make recommendations on a continual basis to the board of supervisors and meet goals that we want to meet with regard to pedestrian safety in the future. also i have a feeling that -- and again, i walk a lot and i'm always observing things -- that we really have to develop a comity between cars, bicycles and pedestrians. we can't isolate one from the other, we have to incorporate all in the mix and i think if we do that, it's not an easy task but if we concentrate on reaching that kind of a goal i think we can make pedestrian safety really an outstanding feature of life in san francisco. thank you. >> okay, thank you so much for being here again today and also we really appreciate your patience, mr. bloomberg, i know you have been very active
