so it's not necessarily about not trusting tumlin or the staff. it's realizing you have a huge, huge number of employees. 6000, i think at last count. and so there's a lot that can go wrong. and i think it is your job to provide really solid, strong oversight and no bid contracts are never a good idea. and i would like to comment that or like to support the prior speakers comment that if you're only getting one bidder, there is something wrong with your process and you need to go back and redo that, there should never be an instance where you're putting out a 180 asks and getting one bid back. that is an ask that is clearly designed to only get one bid back, and that subverts the public. and you should really be concerned about that as commissioners. and i appreciate the people who are standing up for the public. thank you, thank you, thank you for your comment. are there any other speakers on item 11? okay. any remote requests? okay. seeing that, cso rivers is not back, i think i'm going to suggest that we go ahead and pause this item. that's oka

hava, afternoon board director tumlin, so for context, probably most of you know where stonestown is,t, it's located north of san francisco state university, lowell high school is just to the west of stonestown. 19th avenue is to the east, and then directly to the north of the project is saint stephen's church and school, the ymca and the merced manor neighborhood. so the stonestown development was built in the 1950s as a shopping mall surrounded by 27 acres of surface parking lots, and much of the transportation has not been updated since then. it has outdated transit facilities, poor and disconnected walking conditions. 20th avenue traverses through the mall parking lot, and most people don't even realize that that's 20th avenue in the in the parking lot. there it has inadequate bike infrastructure where there is bike infrastructure. and so this project will update, stonestown for the 21st century. so the project will replace the surface parking with new housing, parks, office and retail. it includes 3500 residential units, including up to five towers, a new 20th avenue, six acres o

good afternoon, director tumlin, chair ekin and directors. my name is melina kawata and i'm a campaign associate with walk san francisco. thousands of people walk on valencia street every day. we know over the years too many pedestrians have been hurt and even killed on this street, many by drivers turning and hitting people in the crosswalk at signalized intersections. the current design for valencia has brought benefits to pedestrians. collisions for users are trending down. drivers speeds are down, and the left turn ban reduces the chances for conflict in the crosswalk. plus, drivers are taking turns slower. walk sf supports the continued iteration on the design of valencia street being discussed today, and urges that current safety benefits for pedestrians are both preserve and expanded. pedestrian visibility slow speeds turn restrictions turn calming daylight and preventing car parking in the daylit spaces. using vertical posts are critical to improve people's safety. along valencia and on many streets like this. thank you. thank you. ne
