Right is an air quality map which gives you a a sense of their analysis and the dark blue areas are the highest concentration of par tick you lat matter and the brighter the grown the lower the concentration of the matter. The developer studyed the location of the residential areas near the garage and found that the project added 0. 5 or sorry,. 05 to the exiting background measure of 8. 5. And what this means is the projected volumes of cars in and out of the Retail Center garage is not a significant contribute er to air quality. Available for the public here on the table is a memo from the environmental consultant describing their study of the issues. Should you have questions on air quality, karen cone from the department of publichealth is here today and can share her insights on the matter. Ill conclude with the next step in the process as i mentioned were discussing the revised concept with five point and the team and anticipate receiving the formal sematic design application design in january after staff review, we will take that sematic design for Community Input and based on that schedule we dont anticipate being back before the commission until late spring of 2018. If we stick to that plan, we anticipate that the Retail Center itself would be open and summer 2021 along with adjacent Residential Projects across harn ey and inker son streets. The Retail Center opening will be the catalyst and anchor for all of the housing that is due to be delivered in this major phase of development and this concludes my presentation and members from the development team, the department of publichealth and ocii staff are available for questions after Public Comment, thank you very much. Great, thank you. Madam secretary, do you have a speaker. We have 15 speaker cards. Ok. What were going to do is there anybody else here that has not filled out a speaker card that would like to speak on this item. My name is shirley more and we were under the impression that we were on the agenda for this issue. We came before you on june 20th and we have been corresponding with this commission since june 20th and we appear on the agenda in july and we were not on the agenda in july and the meeting was canceled in august and september and i sent several emails to the Commission Secretary and a registered letter so it baffles me why we cannot be heard on this matter. Were giving you five minutes to do the presentation. On the agenda its supposed to be ten minutes. We asked to be exclusively on the agenda we have waited three hours to be heard and its practice with this developer and with the c. A. C. And ocii we are not being heard on these issues and this is a reason why were here and we are waited out for the last minute everybody leave and the issue of concerns about the residents not being included in this process and homeowners. This is an opportunity to be able to do that. Sir. This is Public Comment and so we would love. We asked to be on the agenda not on Public Comment. It wasnt on the agenda and we have to go by what is on the agenda so im giving you an opportunity to provide a presentation to us and you are getting a little bit more than what the general public would give so i ask. Commissioner, were asked to be on the agenda we should get more than what the it wasnt so what im telling you as we speak right now, we have what is on the agenda. What do we have to get to on the agenda . Do we need to get on our knees and kiss your ring. No need to kiss nothing im telling you you have an opportunity right now to present so were going to start the clock because we have to get this moving so wed love for the members of the public who are here to speak to speak on this item so. I am very disappointed in this and this process and this is exactly why were here, start your clock. We are here because the very same thing is happening in this chamber today, we have been ignored and we have been denied the opportunity to present our issues and now, we have had the lack of out reach from this ocii and weve had the lack of out reach in the community from the developer and we are the homeowners and the residents and were the stakeholders and all that the services that was mentioned here today it goes to the cbos and the disenfranchised people in the community and we have no problems with and that is glad and were giving them you service but were in the community too and the plan that they have outlined here today will impact our streets, our quality of life, and our ability to live in the community and impact our environmental health. Thats the reason why the homeowners in the community successfully fought against the implosion of the Health Environment and the garage that you are talking about, we had two meetings, weve had two meetings about this garage and one december 1st and one on april 27th, called by the community and hosted by the supervisor because this developer would not come to the community, the first time we heard this plan was in march 2016 on the fourth, we wrote a letter to the commission on march 13th and to ocii complaining about the lack of input in the Development Plan about the development and consequently and we also were concerned about they were trying to rush to get this approved and so surely enough, on may where is my document. On march 15th the ocii approved the amendment to the designs without out reach, that was the first meeting weve had regarding this program about the development to hear any plans and we got a brief description and that because the developer ran out the clock by giving us the same presentation and people like today, become disgruntled and get tired and they go home so we are not heard and i am dissatisfied with the way we are treated here because we are the taxpayers and the streets and people who are loosing their driveway access this impacts our community. We are a care zone and for this commission to sit here and say that we will give you the leeway in this and the residents should not be heard, that is just a egregious and im disappointed in that commissioner because we should have a hearing on this and so that people in the community can voice their concerns about being left out of the process and the property being impacted without say and he told us in our Office Meeting that the gillman greening project and the people were loosing their driveway access. Otherwise, we wouldnt have known that and we were, we heard about the underground garage in the Community Just by hear say, no one came to our community to say anything, the last planning document i got to notify us as we were then one to three hundred feet from the stadium because the implosion demolition process they had withdrawn that was january 2015. We do not get notice from anybody and i spoke to ms. Joy the environmental planner on this she gave me the most information about this project since the april 27th meeting at the school which we only got a general plan description what was going on and we still have not heard from ocii or anyone else for that matter and so when i was at the c. A. C. Meeting last night and i got up on Public Comment and i was treated very rudely by the chair when i got up to try and address the very issues so i dont know what is happening here or why we are being mistreated this way because we are the homeowners here, we are the homeowners and the taxpayers and we should be heard. Thank you. [applause] we have other speaker cards. Members of the public, please come to the podium in this order , dr. Raymond tomkins, michael therio, eloise paten. Yes, sir. I just want to get the opposite. Good afternoon or early evening. Its a long day. Im dr. Raymond thom kins some of you ive known for a period of time. Im start off first with the conditions that were talking about in bay view Hunters Point and then the document that was passed out also about par tick ulis. It was produced by the air district, its not something i wrote up or made up. Please turn to the next page. On page 19, bottom of the paragraph, in right here it clearly points out at the bottom of it the three cities that have been considered care zone that is west oakland, Life Expectancy is short by 11 years because of the port in the diesel trucks and richmond, california, life expect antsy is nine years short because of the Oil Refineries in bay view Hunters Point its 14 years less than someone living in russian hill neighborhood. Fourteen years. Its the worse in the bay area. Therefore, bay view has been considered and classified as a care zone so anything a developer does impacts the quality of life far more than if you were in russian hill. Lets look at the next document this one, it is the initial dust suppression system submitted by the developer and then please turn to the next page. Quickly, you will see the circle graph and their data is based upon standard from the San Francisco airport and it has nothing to do with bay view Hunters Point in San Mateo County im talking about science im tired of a lot of b. S. , bad science being pushed out and you can use that other acronym as well. We want to set up our own Research Weather station out there at Candlestick Point with over, its 100 feet off the ground, you have a copy of this document, this one here shows in may, top one please, each one of those lines flipping is 360 meaning there were 52 baby tornados out there the wind has a 22. 3 vary ant in wind direction thats in San Mateo County nothing to do and i asked at the last town hall meeting that mrs. Moore and the Homeowners Association organized and spoke to mr. Bonner in a very respectful manner, we both spoke cor dill to each other that we sit down with their engineers and discuss this matter because this is ridiculous. It is not what we teach students in college. Ive taught at u. C. Berkley college of engineering for five years Environmental Chemistry and ten years out at state as a associate research of clem and bio hem. Quickly, and thank you for allowing me a little bit of lead way. I then took out if you saw the channel 4 news, you saw me out by the Cement Factory with the air monitors 1700 which is the most active hand held par tick you lat counter in the world and on the far right its comparison between out there at candle stick point and where the work site is at behind the heel theres 100 increase of dust particles in the residents air, 100 increase and this is also behind bushes that have blocked and filtered the air and i use the same point where the air district and the developer used their monitors at. All right. What im saying here, very clearly, by putting a garage under someones bedroom window, im going to move it 25 feet over is not going to do anything that is ridiculous. If im already getting a hundred percent increase, a hundred percent increase, what its going to happen when the gas is hot and when the coming off the exhaust pipe and bay view and one point in the 90s and i was part of the team that reviewed it that women and baby Hunters Point had the highest Breast Cancer rate in the world and right now, according to the doctor, we have the highest pulmonary. I have to cut you off. Thank you. Im saying its adverse impact the garage needs to be moved out by the bay and not under someones bedroom window. Thank you. We want the jobs. Theres 2,000 people that live in that small area. Thank you for taking the time michael therrial. San Francisco Building and construction trades council. Its been a long time getting to this point and we still obviously have a little ways to go and we actually want for the considerable addition alex pens involved in undergrounding this parking its a difficult site which to do that you have to build a bathtub and its a lot nowhere expensive than building an aboveground garage there and to that degree lennar has been responsive to the needs of the community and i want to remind folks with regard to parking what was there before . And the traffic jams that occurred when a 49ers game let out when a concert let out, or when a giants game let out when the giants happened to be doing well and all too infrequently unfortunately. The council of traffic in this instance as youve seen from the developers presentation, would be to a negligible increase in air pollution and one that i think goes a long way towards addressing the concerns of the neighbors. Just one last thing before i stop, i would actually correct commissioner rosales, contractors do not pay union dues, they pay benefits and theyre part of a wage package which they would have to pay in any case under redevelopment project and the form of payment as benefits leads to a tax benefit of the contractor as opposed to paying those the entire thing in the form of wage so its a benefit for them to pay through benefits to union in a union context than a general wage so with that thank you. Next speaker. Eloise paten. Good afternoon commissioners. Im going to read a letter from a person that actually started very long time ago before any of you or myself was born working within the community and that is Shirley Jones, shes worked overcome not, project, shes spoken out on behalf of disenfranchised individuals and shes unable to be here today so she want medicine to read a statement for her. First let me say congratulations on your appointment, i am very glad to see you there and i wish you much success. My name is Shirley Jones and i am a long time resident of bay vow Hunters Point and over 60 years. Over these many years ive held many positions in this community from the first president of the southeast Facilities Commission to the first chair of the shipyard Advisory Committee and many things have changed but many things have remained the same. I had an opportunity to attend the shipyard Advisory Committee meetings last night and it was very well attended and it was great to see new faces as well as long time friends. In listening to the presentation its clear a lot of great things have occurred and the community has made wonderful suggestions and requested changes that lenna r five points have done. Theyve done a lot to accommodate Community Concerns well we dont always agree. I know at some point we must move forward to avoid loosing another opportunity. I stated last night that these big projects are really hard and not everyone is going to get what they want but we must all Work Together for the greater good of the community. I am especially happy promises made to the residents of Alice Griffith were kept and they were not disappointed and i live on i ngerson and im happy with the project on the parking garage and moving the requested entrances the shipyard projects is decades old and my concern is the loudest voices come across those now to the community and i respect and welcome everyones right to participate, i ask you and i commission to remember and hear those of us who have endured all of the hard times in this community, before these improvements were made and i have advocated for public and Affordable Housing and Community Jobs all of my life and any change or recommendations that limit are puts those commitments at risk is unacceptable and it is true low a blessing to wit ness all of those things come to reality and i know how hard you and the commissioners work to get it right and i support this project and support the needed changes to the plan to amount for the current realities in the community. This community deserves the best that the city has to offer and move this project forward. Sincerely, ms. Shirley jones bay view resident. Thank you. [applause] next speaker. Brian butler. Tony tafony, Linda Richardson. Good afternoon commissioners. After a few hours of waiting im glad to have a chance to address you all. I am a mechanic allen guinea graduate of u. C. Berkley who works with the bay area air quality district on bay view Hunters Point and as a result of it being a care community. You heard dr. Thomkins reference startleing statistics about bay view and the Community Health profile. Additionly there was a report released by golden gate law and green action for Health Environmental justice that basically reviewed the amount of enforcement and regulating of air quality in the community and it was discovered that they were being quite negligent. I guess my point in saying that is when you look at the air quality picture of bay view Hunters Point, a resident would hope and really need that development wouldnt say that the amount of pollution that we would increase is negligible, that seems unacceptable to me but in the state of california they were already dealing with those issues when the 49ers were there or the giants were there and this is a community thats dealing with 80 of the wastewater treated in the city at the Public Utilities commission where most of the concrete plant live and the legacy of radioactive contamination at the shipyard and so when you see statistics like the community, a child born today and 14 years less than anyone else, theres no supplies in my mind just as a scientist so when again i see this project , that isnt on the ground yet, when the Community Says hey, were right here can you not put the garage right here it should be a simple, sure , you are the community, why dont we move it somewhere elsewhere you are not impacted. Thank you. State your name for the record please. Brian butler. Next speaker please. Good afternoon again commissioners, Linda Richardson. My name is synonymous with the Environmental Movement in bay view Hunters Point and i am yours truly considered one of the environmental leaders on the bay area and the country. The toxic profile of bay view Hunters Point i mr. Ray thom kins and i worked together and with d. P. H. And the publichealth and ucsf, back then the pgne, hunter point power plant was the number one factors so lets be very clear here, i dont want to come here because these are my neighbors, im very close to shirley moore, her neighbors and were not here trying to point fingers or neighbors against neighbors there has been a lot of misinformation about this and we know the developer has made changes to the garages and we do know that when the 49ers, 49ers spend decades in the bay bay view Hunters Point they did not have one single Transportation Plan and on game day, par tick lat matter now we have a concentrated garage on the ground which was already mentioned to construct that and to really cap the pollution you all should go to the site to do an outside visit so you can have a visual representation of what we are talking about here of building exhaust, none of us are going to propose our neighbors building that but the history of the environment bay view Hunters Point i the pgne power plant and prevented a. A. E. S. From building a power plant so were here and cognisant of every development and i served on the San Francisco Planning Commission and use of and the Environmental Commission and so that project that are coming to bay view will be sustainable in nature and we are still involved as ive been here all daylong so as far as you need to go there im going to demand you go and do an outside visit commission ers and then come back here and look at what was proposed before and what we have now and there you will make its always controversy before here you have people opposing housing, we are building every housing in bay bay view Hunters Point and its a revitalize the community, im just trying to tell you we need to get the facts straight and we dont want neighbors fighting against neighbors were going to come together at the end of the day. Thank you. Tony. Hello, for the record my name is bartony and tony had another engagement and we both represent International Painters union and tony is the flor layer and im a architect actual workers and we represent painters and drywall. We have 400 members that reside in San Francisco among other members in the surrounding bay area and we stand behind the Building Trades and i understand if you have your work cut out for you and one thing about this project is that as a San Francisco resident myself theres a major housing crisis and being a Union Everybody to have a place to live as something thats basic as having a roof over your head is something you have being part of a community and city. This project is under a Labor Agreement which is excellent for the union crafts because it allows members to end and make union wages which are fair wages and also allows us to recruit and bring in more workers from the surrounding neighbors and people of color, different gender, were trying to one of my personal priorities is to recruit people to have the opportunities i have as a union member. Ive been able to raise a family , keep a roof over my head so far and thats all i have to say about that, thank you. Joanne abernapy, james richards, and timothy waters. Good afternoon commissioner my name is joanne. And i am here to support this plan and the reason why i want to support it one is because im tired of meeting at the meeting and talking at the talking and not getting anything done so i think this should move forward so we can see some progress and some jobs but i want to tell you , in 1999, they were doing some digging over there where i stay and i was pregnant and my child came out premature because of the way they were digging the dirt and the air pollution and my neighborhood and that is what the doctor said why my child came out early with a birth defect so you got to think about the people that is pregnant in the older people of what theyre going to breathe in and we got all these people with Breast Cancer and all these people with asthma and were not checking this air out enough. Because were study breatheing them in and i was there when they made the plan and they said they were going to move, before they had the plan where the cars were coming in to the garage and where if you turned and it was a waiting list, people would going to crash behind each other so thats why we propose it to move further down but now you are talking about a lot of cars, i heard someone say about the Football Game and the giants game all the people it bring, you are bringing a whole different crowd of people, you are not bringing football fans and baseball fans and you are bringing a whole a lot of people , a movie theater, friday night, a bunch of youngsters, driving down the street. Where houses are. You are bringing a lot in to this community and most of the people in that community are at least 70 plus so they cant be here, theyre 70 plus in that neighborhood where these cars are going to be coming so they cant be here to speak. So someone needs to go to their door and get a survey one by one and make sure they get their quality, quality taxpayer dollars services out of this city. Thank you. The next speaker please. James richards. Timothy waters. Good afternoon again commissioner. My name is timothy Waters Program director with Young Community developers and you heard from my prior comments the work and the good work that lenn ar is doing in the community to support the residents of bay view Hunters Point district 10. Secondly, y. C. D. Looks at this as a Good Opportunity and i mean we very much support the candle stick project and two dimensions from the job creation perspective and you heard comments about the support of le nnar and plus as some other comments Affordable Housing, 156 units of Affordable Housing and we understand and again in going through the presentation that le nnar continues to work with the constituents as made certain concessions and we fully expect they will continue to work with their constituents Going Forward and the message from y. C. D. Is we support the project and hope we can move forward with the implementation of project. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you mr. Waters. Joyce arm strong, renee nacie s, naola against. Good afternoon commissioners, my name is joyce arm strong and im the proud, very proud president of the San Francisco Housing Authority Public Housing Tenant Association and i am here to speak for not only the district 10 families but the families all over the city who want to see housing, jobs and a better life for us all. I was at the meeting in april and we feel like they made some changes, jobs have been promised , especially to the residents in Alice Griffith which is under our umbrella so im speaking for the people in sunny dale, hunters view, Alice Griffith and the rest of the plaza east and the rest of the family developments that are ran by the Housing Authority and of course, i know shirley and i met years ago when i was at adams and i understand that they have issues but i do feel like five point and lennar theyve tried to address some of the issues that they have and i mean like, ms. Jones said, were not going to ever all be happy, im not happy, and im a taxpayer too, i may not pay property taxes but i pay every other tax up under the sun and every time i turn around theyre telling me i didnt do Something Back in 2009 and all that will so were all taxpayers and nobody in here is no better than me and my Public Housing residents. Were all the same. We all want to have a good, clean decent safe environment to live in so as linda said, were going to work with them and wore going to find a Common Ground and its not going to be easy but its do able. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioner, my name is naolagan gans, i am support of the candlestick project. I know that some of the neighbors and the voices support the moving forward and a hand full of people and stop the nonsense and lets move on. Next speak year. Next speaker. And they say its that long and that long and how many times have they come here and on record how many times . It seems that everybody gets up here and speaks when there is a big developer and they are probably on the payroll somewhere. Yes. And get up here and say this and that and that and this but you aint never seen them up here before. You see the thing about it is theres no mystery. Just check the history. And all of these people you can say what you want to say. Its america. Because the president says what he wants to say and its not hard for me to say what i need to say and you know what . Gods with me. Im not a preacher or a teacher but im here to tell ya my name is asa and im on the case. And where they have a garage under at addition. This thing wont even take care of it. Three years ive been in the payroll on the garage supposed to be sweeping it but i took it to a different level the m. O. U. You see . Now ill be able to come out there in bayview and manage the garage out there and hire some people. Because all of these people here are talking about what they want to do. Im talking about what we do out there in the field. No more. You see the script has already been written about more and you all can call me all the things you want. It makes no difference because the Younger Generation wants to hear the truth so help me god. Thank you. Oscar . Oscar again. I dont know why you put me behind ace. I just want to say, you know, im not im not for the plus out there in our community and what have you but one thing hi support that and ive been out there several years. My mom has double Breast Cancer out there in Hunters Point. And i also had a grandson born with a half a heart living out there in that community. So i do know about the Hazardous Materials in our community. And we need to make sure that those Hazardous Materials are removed from the community. I dont know if this parking garage is going to create more or no. I believe and understand what he is saying and the commitment and i have top stand with jones who i worked with for over 50 years, okay . So thats where my heart is. And i just hope that i just hope that were making the right decision. Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. James. Mohammed elkurin . Audrey coolly and earl oxymorphone. Good afternoon, commissioner and ladies and gentlemen. Can you state your name, please. Yes. My name is mohammed elkareem. Im the founder and editor of the new bayview, the bayview newspaper 40 years and i want to say this. Im for this project but one thing need to be noticed. Ive been there starting last month ive lived there. Contractors have not wet that street down. Im a painting contractor. That dust has been on that street every day you have to sweep in front and theres dirt and the dirt comes inside your garage. They have done nothing about that dirt thats flying all around and now pg e and all those other contractors are tearing up the street to do the infrastructure for the piping and whatever they have to do. But the point i have to make is when they built candlestick park, they had them trucks going up and down when i was going up and down dillman to bring the dirt to do the landfill, and they had that same problem with the dust on the trucks that dump the dirt out there in the bay. Here we are, i dont know, 50 years later. And they did the same thing when they did the construction and they tore a street up and all this all this way. The street has been blocked off so they had to come gown gilman instead of coming down keogh avenue. So they didnt care about the people who lived on gilman. Now im hearing about the infrastructure theyre going to do on gilman so were not going to have any parking or whatever. But, anyway, you guys got to get this thing right. Its not right. Thats all i want to say. Thank you very much. Thank you. Corwin kooley . Its hard to follow you, mr. Ace, but you left. Hes right about folks that are are under the payroll and in the positions to employ folks in the bayview who bypass adequate applicants for those that work with them and go with what they want to happen in our neighborhood. I want to address what they say about there being very little traffic on gillman avenue. I have lived on gilman avenue since 1996. My mother lived there. She had Breast Cancer, okay . Ive seen the traffic. This has been 10 or 12 years. Concerts . I remember kiss came, springsteen, i remember all of that as a kid. This is 24 7 were talking about, not sometimes. Every day. Theres no comparison. The greenway on gilman my father had a list that we all want when we buy a list. Parking. Parks near by. Now you all want to take it. Isnt that on everybodys list . How much does that cost . The freeway down to the park where i grew up to play at, gilman park where i now coach junior giants 8 to 10yearolds, where i now coach junior warriors 8 to 10yearolds where i now coach flag football 80 to 10yearolds at gilman avenue park. Selling a home. Its money. And my mother, when she moves on if i have to sell that house another family is going to look at me and say, where do you park . See, something you dont remember there is a lot of things over San Francisco some illegal, some permitted. Its already hard to park right now. So you tell them you cant park you going to take the parking away . Youre going to put trees . We cant park on our sidewalks ticket after ticket after ticket . I have to wake up at 3 00 in the morning sometimes to look out and see if another neighbor left. Thank you. I just want that to sit on your conscious. State your name, please. Corwin kooley. Are there other speakers . Yes. Audrey leoney and earl oxymorphone. Hi, commissioner. Good afternoon. My name is audrey leoney. I lived in the neighborhood over 30 years. I know that neighborhood is a very good neighborhood as warm as but one thing i need to mention about it, like, we really care about our neighborhood. I lived there for a long time, over 30 years. And i and there you know what . The pollution is very bad for us. My inlaws die from lung cancer. My brotherinlaw died from lung cancer. It is all about air. Please. Consider our neighborhoods and our neighbors who live there and their health. There are people who want health. Health is very important for our neighborhoods and our neighbors. Please consider our neighbors. Our health is very important. We understand that they want to come to our neighborhoods and actually, im not against that but im opposed to it, like, why for health . The first thing i need to let you know im living there. I dont know about the mta going to change the parking and traffic. We did not receive any notice about that. I went to the meeting in april on the Elementary School and then talked to the supervisor and talked to the developer about the parking, about the air pollution. They i dont get to answer. I never get to answer. Please consider our health. Thank you. Thank you, ms. Leoney. Earl oxymorphone . Good afternoon, members. Please speak into the mike. Please speak into the mic. Ive lived in San Francisco since 1972. I appreciate Different Things i want to do like going to San Francisco schools when there was nothing for kids to do on a sunday afternoon, i got the gym and the city to allow me to have little dances where they can come after church to have something to do that wouldnt be messing with anything or anybody. Later on, i did several other things. I organized basketball games fot joseph bleeve park and i spent years aas a tutor at the he will hasntary school right over there by the park. When i looked out there i said that im not going to say anything. But then i realized that most of the conversation thats been put out here today, only one person has mentioned that you know what . With the pollution and part icu lants par tickla nts and all of that you are shortening their lives. There is no problem with us with the people that live in the Alice Griffith projects or any other projects, but do they know that theyre theyre losing a certain portion of their life . And these kids that are getting all of these scholarships and all of these things . Did you tell them this is going to cost you 14 years of your life . No. No one has mentioned that. I had to say that. I couldnt sit there. Thats all. Thank you, sir. Schem corngold. Hi. Schen corngold. So i live on anderson between in the first block off of 3rd and i didnt receive any notifications about about what was going to happen to to my street or the garage. And when i finally did get a notification, it was from my my neighbor, shirley oxymorphone, and i appreciate that. And so i was alerted to the concern and i investigated. And this new information about about the new proposal to move the garage around, its not posted on any website anywhere. So i didnt have that information until i got here. It looks good to have it reoriented down below facing the shoreline. My question, i guess, is that my street in gi sson is kind of extending in so ingerson is there and i looked at some document where they were going to build a new freeway and onramp and extent it so people could come around the bottom. I dont know if thats been approved. But i would think that that parking garage being reoriented isnt going to mitigate traffic on ingerson and that is a question. Thank you, sir. I have no more speaker cards. Thank you, sir. Is there anybody else from the public who would like to speak that hasnt had an opportunity . Seeing none and hearing none i will close Public Comments and i will turn to my fellow commissioners for statements and comments. Commissioner . Thank you. I would first like to thank everyone for staying. Its been fourplus hours. I would like to thank you for your time. And ive heard a lot of common themes that i think would be great for the Community Members as Linda Richardson said and joyce armstrong. There are a lot of things that the Community Members can work on together. One thing would definitely be working with mta and making sure that there is a great transportation in the community for the individuals. Also, theres the new bike sharing and bayview 1700 points and making sure that people have access and transportation. I lived in bayview my entire life. I also was able to attend both of the Community Meet beings as well into a site visit and i want to take lennard. They have worked with the community and have changed their plans based on their views of moving the parking lot and their interests as well. But as many people have said, its been a long time. There are people who have been waiting for these jobs. Theyve been waiting to get a wage, and people are also waiting to get jobs in San Francisco as well, which i think is very important to make sure that we move the project along so that the people are able to live in the city and have jobs as well. Thank you, commissioner. Commissioner gonzales, is there anything you would like to add . Well, i guess its a procedural matter because this information is in front of us as an item, yes . Were not being asked to make any decisions; right . No. But it sounds like theres a process. Theres a new process that is under way, and theres more opportunity for engagement on these concerns, yes . Okay. I mean, i, as an individual, are very concerned about the area and i think people walking out in napa and sonoma can get an immediate sense of how important it is to breathe clean air. So if there is a segment of the city that already has those impacts, then i think we would want to be sure that that were being extra sensitive to these kinds of concerns; right . So i dont have any answers here because im just listening. But some part of me says its not the first garage in the city of San Francisco in a residential area thats being built. I mean, we have underground garages. We have surface garages throughout the city. I dont know if there are any Lessons Learned i dont know if there are any less there. Those were previously under the park and now theyre under mta, so i would like to have information about some of these other scenarios. I also would like to know about what some of our jurisdictions are to address some of these concerns. I was asked what about the Environmental Impact report . Is there i dont know. Is there a room for additional study . I just dont know the answers to these questions. But i hear what everyone says, and im both on the movingforward side and on the, you know, lets stop and and and look at this more carefully side. Okay. Thank you, commissioner, for those comments. Ladies and gentlemen, this was an informational item, so theres not a vote for it, but i think a lot has popped up. And i think theres some different thoughts about the implications of the garage. I think theres some concessions that have been made. So, you know, i appreciate the staff for their report and that we take things into consideration as we begin to move forward on this project. Thank you, commissioner, for the opportunity. While we still had members of the public here, i just did want to address a couple of things on the gilman Improvement Project since there was some concerns that are not accurate based on what were planning. So to address specific concerns raised by Community Members here today, i did want to let the public and the commission know that there will not be meters on gilllman street. No meters are planned as part of the gilman street improvements and also the driveways on gilman will be maintained. I also want to let the public know that there have been several meetings. But there will also be a meeting on the gilman improvements early last year. So please see me afterwards. If you havent been receiving our notifications, ill make sure to put you on our contact list. So i just wanted to stop the spread of fake news and let folks know about Accurate Information about that. Thank you. Thank you. Madam secretary, the next order of business . The next item on the agenda is item number six. Do we have any speaker cards on this . We have two speaker cards, oscar james and mr. Charlie walker. Mr. James . Oscar james again. Since were talking about fake news, i want to talk about President Trump and thank him for meeting the president of puerto rico. My gosh. He said it. He said it. Anyway, what i came up what i came up with, a young a young person from my Community Came up to me. Hes trying to get a food truck on 4th street. I talked to ms. Woods, and theyre going to make a presentation to the director and also to the attorney. This young man, he has he bought a food cart, spent his money to buy a food cart, and i really admire him. And i admire my Young Brothers in my community who venture out into business for themselves. So i told him i was going to come up, and i was going to mention it to you before. Well, i hadnt had a chance to talk to ms. Woods, but i did talk to her out in the hallway, so im not as im not as im not going to be as vocal as i was because i thought it was a racist thing and its not its not turning out to be like that. But i definitely want this young man to be able to house his food cart. He sells tacos and what have you and sells it on the spot. I would like this commission to make sure that he has a spot down there on 4th street or somewhere in that location. You know, you spent 30,000 or 40,000 on a piece of equipment going into your own business, you should have the support of our community and the commission to make sure he becomes a profitable a profitable business. I havent made it to the cac meetings in mission bay. Ive tried several times to go to their location and each time i went, i went to the wrong place. So i have to find out from this particular vendor where their location is so i can start attending those meetings so i wont have to grinning this type of issue to you. Company bring it to the cac. But i just hope that this commission help my brother get his spot down there. Thank you. Director. And legal. Thank you, mr. James. Charlie walker . Charlie walker is not here. Next speaker . Thank you. Commissioner, i would like to address one item that was kind of briefly mentioned but not agendized. And part of it is going toward Community Development and i have a bias because im an educator, as well as a scientist. Im working with the air district in dealing with a particulant because too often in these meetings im the only person of african descent that can express any knowledge. If you could express to lennard that we need scientists. Right now at San Francisco state when i was there 66 have graduated. I hired freshmen to work with me on Research Four years ago nd i wasnt to the association as i was the dean
