my name is donna uchida, and actually, this is my first day working for the san francisco zoological society , so i am probably not speaking from great expertise, but chris connors, who has been working on this project, his flight got delayed. and so he's not able to be here. so i am i was elected, i did want to raise a couple of issues and, tonya peterson has submitted a letter to the chair, but if you would, honor my request, i would like to at least read a few, pieces of that letter. okay. you have one minute and 16 seconds left. okay. basically, the zoo does have some issues about the great highway closure in essence, it would eliminate the entry and exit loop exits to the zoo parking lot from the great highway and they are the primary access points. the fear is that the 47th street and slope boulevard, they're not going to be enough, especially with the pandas coming, apparently one day of the pandas and their previous visit, logged 14,000 visitors and now it's about a 4000 to 5000 a day visitor rate. and that doesn't include zoo camp, which is upcoming. so, what i would like to leave y

we're having conversations with the zoological society. we're really excited about it. and we have some really wonderful options. we have a more temporary option so that we can get the pandas here sooner rather than later. and a more long term option. so this is going to be a process in every step of the way. as soon as we're able to make information available to the public that we will. but we do hopefully anticipate sometime in 2025, to welcome pandas to san francisco zoo and i can't be more excited to do so. spring 2025 sounds pretty good to me. mayor brie, thanks for your time. have a good evening. all right. you too. thanks, raj. we also have a notable update on a potentially life changing move for san francisco firefighters. last night we reported about san francisco's push to get rid of firefighter uniforms because of cancer concerns. today, the board of supervisors voted unanimously to ban those uniforms. it's the first city in the united states to make such a move. the issue is with the jacket and pants. our investigative unit found that they contain chemicals
