my particular concern is traffic safety on westportal where my wife and i walk everyday and westportal and 14th avenue which currently has stop signs but no traffic lights. that has become an increasingly dangerous intersection and left turns and u turns and cars essentially forcing pedestrians to play russian roulette but cars may stop at the signs. pedestrians stop and it's unclear who has the right of way. if the pedestrian is in cross walk and cars move forward and we also have a problem with cars with u turns and they are unable to do the u turn and they need to back up and thus jeopardizing pedestrians. my suggestion is for a traffic light, a signal on westportal and west 14th avenue and a no u turn at those intersections. thank you. >> thank you roger. >> good afternoon supervisors. i am robert gee and we -- the club is in existence since 1935. i am speak on behalf of the club and the challenges in the area and otherwise known as a race track. it's the main thoroughfare down to monterey and highway 280. has neighborhood has young children and baby strollers and seniors and disab

the westport library as they had done this.e westport library purchased to 3-d printers and very safe third or fourth in the works now. this has become the new symbol of today's tinkerers. if you haven't seen one action, the ideas you can design a three-dimensional object on your computer and then printed out. it's an amazing thing for inventors who can create a prototype very cheaply and kids enjoy them a lot too. if you can see upstairs in the westport library, we've got some young tinkerers assembling a new 3-d printers at the library just purchase, that is cheaper from the previous ones. the only trick is to have to put it together. they know their audience clearly. i just want to talk for a few minutes about what's been going on at the westport library because they mentioned at the start of my talk, by sheer coincidence as i was working on this but, the westport library was delving into this phenomenon and bringing the maker movement into the library. so also is a projects are being realized on a daily basis amidst all of

same thing with holloway and westportal and other areas of high concentration and those locations are listed here. these are the intersections with the most pedestrian collisions. these areas are listed here. vicente and westportal last month was the site of a fatal collision that killed someone and that's a location we will take a look carefully to see what accidents have happened there and what can we do to improve the safety of that intersection. 19th avenue and terrabell is a major transit junction as well as a commercial street so you see many pedestrians crossing at this intersection crossing six lanes of traffic on highway one and crossing this relatively wide street and part of the reason people are here is because of the transit. very major routes. a lot of transfers happening here. a lot of people taking those transit services. things that we have done before in the area we adjusted the signal timing on numerous occasions and the all red clearance which

library because the westport library has been a real innovator in terms of a green, tinkering as an agriculture. so it was a coincidence that brought us together, but it's worked out really great and i thank them for helping make this all happen. as bill mentioned, in his introduction, my book is a lot, it's partially about what's going on in tinkering right now. in the contemporary world but also touches on history, but more specifically it talks about what the ideas behind being a taint your car, and what is the mindset of a tanker. so we should start by talking about, well, what is it tinker as i decide -- as i define in the book. and how does a tinkerer differ from a and vendor or a hacker, a lot of the other types of innovators that we know in american society? typically, the term has negative connotations. you think of sort of the old crockpot puttering around in the basement not really knowing what they were making, it just sort of having fun with old spare parts. but, in fact, that's kind of the heart of what in my mind tinkering is about because a true tinkerer is a diletta

tragedies like we heard that have happened to the student and the retired teacher that was killed on westportal recently. next friday as it happens is walk to workday and i know you're participating and thank you. my understanding is that the mayor will be releasing a new plan for action on pedestrian safety, and that will target the city's most dangerous streets to cut serious and fatal injurys in half. this is a critical action to take. we call on you as the board of the transportation authority to make sure that this plan is actually funded so it just doesn't sit on the shelf but it gets implemented to start systematically fix the streets in many of the ways we heard about today to prevent more tragedies because these tragedys are things that that we can prevent and you can help save lives. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello i am phyllis deets and live in the area for 27 years. my property backs up on sunny side park, little pocket park, that the city has renovated. it's a beautiful park. it's a maget for all of the children in the neighborhood. the parents bring them there. it is also a attr

i believe they stopped near westport, connecticut, yesterday. they were looking for accomplices.train, let it go. end of story or is this still an avenue they're investigating? >> well, look, it's clearly an ongoing investigation and we could learn more this afternoon when we're expecting we may see the first criminal charges in this case. what we're expecting is a criminal complaint and an affidavit, and one of the things to look for is to see whether tsarnaev, whether they say and others, which is the kind of language you often see in criminal charges. he acted with others to commit this crime. so that will give us some tip-off as to whether they suspect there were any other accomplices. right now we're not aware of any, and right now -- and late yesterday they were saying there was nobody else they were looking for. if they were aware of any particular suspects, that's a good indication they were not aware of any criminal suspects in the case late yesterday. now, on top of that -- so we're going to have the criminal charges today we hope, and that will give us some further inf
