so i've been on street cars that were turned back at glen park where there is no ramp. that means if somebody was on there, they would have to dead head back to san jose randall, get off, across, and head back again. i've been on street cars where after we were all forced to get off on glen park on a sunday morning, i had to wait 43 minutes, not five minutes. central control needs to ask those questions. the expectations people all in wheelchairs board up front. if something happened in the subway, they could be in the back and hidden. that communication is lacking. commissioner wiener: thank you. >> my name is janet tarlove. i own a business in glen park and glen park is particularly well served by public transportation. the exception is the link between b.a.r.t. and the other buses in the area and the j church, the station at that location is very unsafe and inaccessible. and the glen park community plan outlines a solution to that which i think would be worth considering which is a street level stop. i think supervisor wiener was alluding to that in his remarks. and
