you saw via e-mail that the dog patch association did vote in favor of this plan. that shows that we have support from the neighborhood associations. also we made a lot of attempts to reach out to people who weren't necessarily plugged into the neighborhood associations. sent letters to all the addresses in the dog patch, an e-mail blast to anyone who expressed interest and tried to call that from other city agencies who were also doing work gathering their e-mail lists so we could make sure as many people heard about it. we had six open houses. some of them we put on ourselves. a lot of coverage in the city paper. lots and lots of meetings. i feel like the dog patch is my second home now. i've been in meetings just to inform people about the whole plan or their whole block trying to oblige as many people as possible. last month we got a lot of useful information at the public hearing that the director was kind enough to join us for. i think that you'll hear from some of the folk who is -- folks who we worked with. it's a challenge to please everybody. i don't know if we approved 100% on that score. that i think you'l

i'm a resident of the north panhandle and with the north panhandle neighborhood association a board memberboard of the neighborhood association would like to request you approve this. this is a high injury corridor had an already had a fatality last year. we don't want more. the small step is something we think is necessary and we ask that you consider this. >> chairman brinkman: thank you very much mr. hickey and thank you for the work that you do in the neighborhood for safety and other issues. i have another public comment? >> we have several. kristen lucky, kathy deluca, charles stepeni. >> thank you. my name is kristen lucky and i'm here from the san francisco bicycle location. i'm here to support the lighting on the street, a corridor that seeing a high number of fatal collisions. pedestrian safety improvements are paramount. last year david greenberg was killed walking on his way from the senior home to the park. this is inexcusable. we can't afford losing one more life to crossing the street. david is among many others hit in the intersection on fell street along the panhandle. day

so in sum, we have presented the probably executive to two neighborhood groups, the van ness neighborhood council as well as the neighborhood association. i'm going to turn it over to the project architect and he'll go over the design. >> good afternoon. if i could have the monitor. i'll just walk you through the project starting kind of from the basement up. we have our parking at the ground -- basement level below grade level of the project. you can see that the top part is the ramp coming down from the street. the ground floor level, the front of the building, we have at the lower right corner, we have the residential lobby for the tenants and then next to that, we have a nice kind of retail space. next to that, a minimum driveway access to get down below grade. next to that, the second means of the egress. the great thing, we've been working with pg&e and whereas before we had a vault. we were able to get that moved and out. that's really nice. we have mostly a glass front. even the garage door and i'll talk about that more. typically, the building has both flats and town homes. so on the backside of the building, across the back,

the neighborhood group said it makes sense, others are split. >> reporter: in the belhaven neighborhood, residents say their school is failing them. test scores are low and the teachers don't stay and students are suffering. the neighborhood association is circulating a petition to transfer them into the wealthy district. >> it is time to do something to help the kids in this community. we are only looking at one school that is right here in the neighborhood, and we wanted to be unified with the rest of the part. >> reporter: other neighborhoods have see seated -- seceded in the past. but they say now is the time to act. >> reporter: we are adding hundreds of apartment units and we are looking at areas that will add more people and students to the area. the area is going to change and we need to be proactive about getting a really great education system in place for everybody. >> reporter: the petitioners have a backup plan. if they cannot join the new part, they would like to form their own district. but, the school district says they need to work together as a unified district. >> with more housing, there is more dollars coming into the district, and we are not surprised there is a quick desire to try and segregate the district to

the belhaven neighborhood, residents say their school is failing them. they say test scores are low and teachers don't stay and students are suffering. that is what the neighborhoods us -- why the neighborhood associationgetting a petition to transfer them into another district. >> it is time to do something to help the kids in this community. our intent is not to decimate the school district, but we are looking at this one school. we wanted to be unified with the rest of the park. >> reporter: other neighborhoods have succeeded in the past. city officials say it is a long and difficult process. but now is the time to act. >> we are adding hundreds of apartment units and we are looking at facebook village that will add more people and students to the area. the area is going to change and we need to be proactive about getting a really great education system in place for everybody. >> reporter: the petitioners have a backup plan. if they cannot join them apart, they would like to make their own district. the school district calls this a mistake and says the community needs to work together as one unified district. 2 with more housing, there is more dollars coming into the district, and we are not surpris

if you would repeat the name of your neighborhood organization, please. >> we are on the north side of slope boulevard, it's the pine lake park neighborhood association. >> that is the neighborhood where we are actually removing the parking spot? >> right. we are adjacent to slope boulevard. >> thank you for coming down and voicing your support. mr. pellpill. >> followed by bill and barbara cheonseni. >> i'm neither speaking in support or opposition to these items. i just wanted to note that i don't think this has been a particularly inclusive process. there's been some private meetings about slope boulevard that i was not invited to. the environmental review process which as you know i continue to be concerned about, there were prior approvals related to various items on slope boulevard, there was an exemption issued for these items. i'm going the appeal to the board of supervisors. the deal is there's been piece mail planning for slope boulevard, many over many years, perhaps more to come. there's a discussion about a bike lane on the east side from 19th to 21st avenue. this is exactly the kind of corridor that i think need today have an over all p

i'm a member of the park neighborhood association. i wanted to speak in favor of the proposed changes. the main concern here really is line of sight, line of sight that affects the pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles as well. the over pass at sunset boulevard is kind of an extended four leap clover. there's a significant merge coming from skyline boulevard going eastbound which causes drivers to engage in a number of different activities merging, turning off and also proceeding eastbound. so we've had problems there in the past. we really do think that by eliminating parking in this area will help the line of sight and help the safety issues. in terms of lake shore plaza, it's a city issue. there's people turning in and out of lake shore mra -- plaza. this will assist drivers entering and exiting onto slope boulevard. i can see cal trans this morning, other issues with regards to slote. hopefully before the stern grove concert association it will come into play. i would urge the members to perhaps extend some additional educational op

wireless service or the placement of antennas in the surrounding neighborhood provided it is done with an overall plan and input from the neighborhood association and the residents. it has not been done here. i have asked verizon multiple times what else did you consider? what was your second choice as opposed to this pole? there's been no response. so the proposed antenna at 3512 clay street is easily the most visible exposed pole on clay street. it would be a total eye sore, try the aesthetics of our neighborhood and block. now verizon, by their admission tries to locate these poles on street corners, mitigating neighbor's concerns and views. call me crazy, but i have personally driven through every blocks of presidio heights, pacific heights, the marina, and jordan park, and all but two antennas out of dozens are on a street corner. the two that aren't, divisadero and union, and the 3700 block of clay street are in front of multiple family locations. this location is an out liar to anything that has been put in any of those neighborhoods to date. here's an alternative. this light pole is is he southwest corner of clay and locust, a half a bl

i know the middle polk neighborhood association which does not represent the majority of residents in this regard has characterized this as a once in a generation opportunity to build housing, but that housing is already going on, so this is not a rare chance to build housing, this is an extraordinary opportunity to repurpose an existing build in a way that will greatly benefit the current and future residents of the neighborhood. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> my name is chandra. i live di di at 5100 jackson, am here to support the whole foods 365 market on the proposed site. the major reason there is no general purpose grocery store in the neighborhood. that is just the way it is. there should be one. this is an opportunity to get one there. second and as important, the sites been vacant for years now. to tear it down and build mixed use housing, i don't get it. i just don't get it like what's going on here. another how many years and the air pollution and the dust pollution and the noise pollution to what end? finally, there is a lot of conflation of issues all of the sudden

in fact, the university of chicago underwrote white neighborhood associations that created these things called restrictive covenants. of the the endowment university was generated by land donations, they wanted to uphold the value of their land, by making sure it would be white only. beyond an institution like the university, we have the darker , where thee north lighter shades are meeting them there are black dots. those are places where there were acts of firebombing, where african-americans that dared move into what was previously a white neighborhood, either their home was firebombed, or the home of the agent was firebombed for having the audacity to sell their home or piece of real estate to an african-american. there is this thing about land value, the university trying to protect land value by keeping the neighborhood all white. how could that be? -- wewere these things all know what a mortgage is -- we all know that mortgages have certain restrictions on the. , and there's a chandelier i want to take, i am able to take it with. homes sayindividual it can't be sold to any growth

i'm president of the mission bay neighborhood association and i'm here on behalf of our board and the entire membership of our association to join in asking you that you exempt the high injury corridors from this legislation as well as transit projects. we feel in our neighborhood that outreach has been good and increasingly good over time. we also understand that it's our obligation as a community group to help extend that outreach and to make sure as many neighbors as possible know about these projects and can weigh in. we think that process is working. as an individual, i dabbled a little bit in public realm and a few intersections here and there and i know personally that parking spaces are just the third rail. i really think that the board of supervisors has many, many more important issues to deal with. so, please exempt the high injury network. don't slow down the progress on vision zero or transit projects. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> public: hello. i'm theodore randolph. my brother was a grade below katy tang at lowell. and i t

i'm president of the south beach rincon neighborhood association. we have a letter on file with you to support the three items before you today. there's nothing that i can add that's more compelling that the city administrator and director forbes haven't already said. i can only add that these measures have very strong neighborhood support in our three neighborhoods. it's not only in our own self-interests since we sort of comprise the central waterfront, but we understand the critical aspect of this to the infrastructure. we're highly transit depe depe, this is a matter of utmost importance to the entire city. we have a deep commitment to not only a triple bottom line, but also a quadruple or an eight-fold bottom line in maintaining our maritime industries, in preserving our historic ties to the waterfront, huge historic assets to the city. and doing -- turning themselves inside out to provide public access and to all regional users. so their resources are really spread thin, and we really need to be looking to these other resources to fund these th

the dg patch? the association said we would like to talk to you about parking issues in the neighborhood. when a neighborhood association comes to us and says we want to talk about parking issues we say yes. so we did that. i think that begs the question why were they concerned about parkings -- parking issues in the dog patch. i don't know if we can get the presentation up on the screen. so right now the number of people living in the dog patch and working in the dog patch and visiting the dog patch to the significant traffic generators over there far out numbers the total number of parking spaces on the street, that total number of parking spaces on the street isn't going to change at all. so we have a problem. what that doesn't consider is the fact that with 80% of the spaces currently unregulated there's people attracted to the neighborhood because of the free ugh regulated parking. they don't work there or spend money there. they are using it for free parking and taking up spaces from people who need them. so when you have lots and lots of demand you get the higher parking occupancy w
