yee, do you have a question? okay. supervise stefani. >> supervisor stefani: thank you. i have a question, i'm wondering do you have a policy or any thought around noticing the public for projects the s.f.m.t.a. wants it do throughout the neighborhoods in san francisco? like what do you think that should be? >> yes, what we do now and i can't speak to every piece but there are notices that go on the street and go out via email lists. the supervisor for the district is always made aware and hopefully it goes out through a supervisor's email chain. it's a difficult task. we have done mailings. we do door-to-door work when it's a project, knocking on doors. it seems no matter how much outreach we do, it's never enough and we are aware that outreach needs to get better and better. every new method that comes along we need to take advantage. it's something the board pushes staff on. when we have a project come to us and have neighbors say we don't know about this until the parking spaces went away or lane went away or the bike share or pod went in, it continues to be a challenge. as i'm sure you know, reaching out to everybody in t
