there are two parts to the park. the wild life park and the children's playground. that's the end of the park that should be open to everybody and cars if they need them and the part in the west could be closed to cars, you know. great for skating and enjoying nature, walking and so forth. i'm the daughter of a polio survivor. i would never have gotten to the children's playground if there had not been cars. when my cousin who lived in the inner sunset, we were taking two little kids, four adults and a whole bunch of stuff to go to the children's playground, we would of had to take the car or a taxi otherwise or walk which would have been pretty difficult because there are not muni lines serving that way. and we have no green space. i don't want to hear about those zip codes. 94133 as a result is one of the highest housing prices in the city. we had that discussion when we had that discussion of housing costs here. okay. and i pointed out it has chinatown in it. okay. yes. all right. it also is a wash in green space compared to knob hill and our zip codes are 94133

to make the park more usable. i do appreciate the commission looking at this and considering this issue, but we really cannot support adding all these cars on the lawn. it just isn't really fair to a neighborhood that works so hard to preserve the square and then to have the risk of gaj to this infrastructure and the closing of the park. >> president: thank you. >> clerk: paul, does anyone else have their hand raised? >> so now the department has three minutes for rebuttal. >> okay. can we pop my slides back up, david. >> okay. >> and just go to the next slide. so we found this first new compromise, unfortunately, when we met on site with the applicants, they didn't propose this idea. we saw for the first time yesterday morning based on what we saw in the proposal, we believe it should be denied. it still places cars onto grass. there are places on pavement. we expanded the paved areas at this park. it places cars on grass next to walkways which are the most heavily impacted by dogs on leash peeing. it still requir

it was going to be a let's clean up the river park. they had political and financial problems and they begin construction in 1916. then in 1916, wham. world war i happens. it's delayed until 1919. they begin to construct it. the parkway was designed by a team of designers and in addition to the landscape architects, herman merkle and clark was the engineer. merkle and clark, they did the planting road align m and slope design while the engineer war -- worked on the technical aspects and series of bridges across the parkway. they inserted a series of parks in the roadway along to either side. other fun facts to know, it was a 40-foot drive lane associated in the right of way. started like what we have been talking about all semester in terms of parkway design. what makes it modern. this is what makes it modern. the automobile. by 1919, cars are becoming increasingly popular in the united states and although the road was designed as a parkway, the bronx river parkway in contrast to its preds ses sors were designed specifically for automob
