so i was baffled to hear director reiskin's statement that he doesn't have $6 million. i watch the number 3 bus go by every few minutes. it was supposed to be eliminated back when willie brown was mayor. we would have $2 million times, what, 10 years, $20 million. i would be happy it have the number 3 bus discontinued today and take that money and put it towards saving lives on townsend street. thank you. >> chairman brinkman: thank you. i don't think we want to sacrifice other people's bike lanes. thank you for coming. do i have any more public comment, public comment is closed. thank you for coming down here. your comments are powerful, poignant, and we're hearing them. i share your fear when you have loved ones or yourself out here on bicycles and some of the streets, the conditions, can be terrifying. i know. i've ridden them. i worry for my partner when he rides back and forth from work. he's under strict instructions to never tell me about negative interactions but i know that happen. director reiskin, can we go briefly into what happened and why the project was p

thank you. >> supervisor kim: thank you, director brinkman and director reiskin and want it thank the members of the public to allow me to speak before the 2:00 p.m. board of supervisors meeting. 5 want to speak on the townsend project. it's been a project that i've been speaking with director reiskin and staff members about for the last five years. it's long been a priority project for our office simply by the sheer number of users on this corridor, whether they're pedestrians, cyclists, those that are getting off of caltrain and on and also the sheer number of ride-share vehicles, which has gone up significantly since 2013 when we first started talking about this project. also, with the construction on central subway, for those of you that spend time on townsend and 4th, it's a sheer -- it's a complete mess. and director rubke, who lives close to this intersection, knows how difficult it is for pedestrians and cyclists to maneuver around the 30, the 45, who have been rerouted, along with the ride-share vehicles and our cyclists and pedestrians, who use this intersection very well. i
