how do we define minority fences group in san francisco. we are a minority majority city. 58 percent of our service center is identified -- self identified as minority. any census track around the line exceeded 58 percent is considered a minority line or minority census line and below that is non minority. we have on board survey back in the summertime which will give us a better idea of who is riding the buses and trains and those results are ready this november, so just this month and with those we'll look at how our demographics change across line. sometimes a route goes through a neighborhood, but maybe those riding around the line aren't around the line. looking at the map of san francisco, dark blue, they're defined as minority. light blue are ones that are below 58 percent minority. proposition e is we're 85 percent on on time and we have a long way to go. as director reiskin pointed out, we have a long way to go and we got to get that across the board. comparing non minority routes and minority routes, they're about equal so we have

fences. this is a view out of my upstairs room into our common open space. one of the characteristics of san francisco is that we share a common open space in the center of our block. that's a really important feature of the layout of the pattern of development of san francisco. and the code design is to try and preserve the common open space. there is a tremendous pension for persons who wish to develop their buildings to build out into the common open space. or to provide census to provide their own individual privacy. the concept here, they want the buildings built around the perimeter of the block and in the center like a donut, they want open space. so your open space blends with everybody else's. everyone wants to build on their property and share everybody's open space. and planning is saying, no, we want to keep it as somewhat common open space. that's why they restrict huge fences back there to kind of carve off your property. >> right. so, we have -- i want to point out a few things about the slides and jim can chime in as well. you see the ubiquitous six foot high ridge fence arou
