city street is a pedestrian walkway. pacific is also diverted on drum. one of the benefits of this project is it does provide new corridors for pedestrian access through jackson street. jackson street would be a 60- foot corridor between those buildings, a bigger than the 32-foot right of way easement on the private portion of the site. i do not think there is an easement on the public portion. this includes an extension. it is currently a walkway. not accessible by shortening this corridor and widening it. it would be much better pedestrian and public connection. public open space is another focus. in the light blue -- these are privately owned but important public space. this would create public x straight space along the pacific parkway on pacific and broadway. talking about the entire program, we talked about the height and bulk of the housing proposal. 134 units. it has some parking spaces associated with it. that is a relatively small portion between jackson and washington streets. there is also an important public realm and public space. there are

you touched on pedestrian walkways which is keen. can you tell me, does any of these lands, will it to impact parking? -- lines, will it impact parking? >> i can say anything definitive but we do know that parking would be affected in some locations. for instance, the places where there are angled parking, that is where the right of way gets narrower. in order to provide a dedicated bus line, we would have to read- oriented the angled parking to parallel parking so we can fit the bus lane in. we can provide that width. there would be less parking on st.. -- street. we recognize parking is needed in this area of the city. we're looking for options for how we can -- what we can do given that we may need to change some of the ankle to parallel. -- angled to parallel. perhaps we could change the configuration there and convert some of the parallels basis to -- spaces to ankle the -- angled spaces. commssioner o'connorrtiz: i am thinking like a small business person. how do deliveries get there when you do not have parking? do we need it
