Julius kahn playground. And i was disappointed and angered and, frankly, ashamed to learn that this playground honoured a man who was so hateful, so discriminatory and exclusionary and if it was left up to him, he wouldnt have wanted me playing in that playground and wouldnt have wanted my family here. I implore you to follow suit with the board of supervisors and San Francisco community and rename the playground. I dont personal have any opinions about what the name is, just not named after somebody who represented such racism and hate. Thank you very much. Thank you. Clerk is there any other Public Comment . Commissioner anderson. Thank you, Vice President. I really want to thank everybody for coming out here. I, of course, will support the removal of the name of julius kahn and the young lady who just spoke used a good wore, horrified. When i found out about the history of julius kahn, i felt that sentiment as well. Ive been a district 2 resident for over 25 years. That playground w
Open space task force, the open space committee, and also as a councilmember. And in the process, we preserved more than 500 acres of open space through our efforts, political efforts in our community, our preservation efforts in our community. So, i just want to say that as a preface to my comments about Sharp Park Golf Course, in the entire time that i worked on these projects in our community, no one ever considered taking away the golf course. The golf course was always viewed as kind of an ideal situation where you had endangered species, habitat that had actually evolved over time by the creation of Freshwater Habitat there. And the issue of the work at Laguna Salada which really began i think almost six years ago was to remove some of the tooling around the edges so frogs could get to the edge more easily and prevent flooding because Laguna Salada was filling in. And that was the beginning and it was a very sensible thing. And i really want to commend San Francisco for bringing
Council which represents, i believe, 20 plus neighborhoods west of twin peaks all unanimously oppose map. Theyve communicated that through the recreation and Park Department and to the mayor. Mount davidson, aside from sharp park which i dont know anything about and which is not within the boundaries of San Francisco, Mount Davidson is the most affected by map. I mean, their proposal is to cut down 1600 trees on Mount Davidson and the neighborhoods surrounding Mount Davidson all are opposed to this plan. Spending another 200,000 to make this plan possible is throwing good money after bad. I believe that Mount Davidson, based on the neighborhood response, should be excluded from map. Apparently there is a proposal to exclude sharp park from map, too. While people are trying to get huge parts of this program excluded from it, can you please not spend precious funds on this program and instead spend it on thing that are really needed like basketball courts and tennis nets. Thank you. Than
Consider a municipal masterpiece. Thank you. Thank you. Richard. Commissioners, im richard harris, the San Francisco public park alliance. We have 6,000 members. Im also a San Francisco resident and have been a golfer in sharp park for most of my life. We support funding for the completion of the eir which is what is good for you on agenda number 9 of the sun ramp. This is 18year process. You hear the controversy here. There were two or three hearings here by the Planning Commission on the eir. There was the extra hearing. I dont know how many thousands of comments there were, but there are a lot of comments which has engendered the meeting. To spend more money to finish the eir. Some of the comments youve had today go to the ultimate merits. There will be time for discussing that. Right now the issue is to finish the funding of the eir. We support that. We are opposed to dropping sharp park out of that. Sharp park has been part of it for 18 years. There is a reference by a young woman
These people are not environmentalists. They just throw out environment. Anyway, i would like this program, this concept all together. But the very least, [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. Thank you. Julie. And then paul. And if there is anyone else, if you could just line up against the wall, that would be great. Go ahead. Thank you very much. I just im here basically to thank the city of San Francisco for moving forward on the protection of the species in making efforts to protect the species in Sharp Park Golf Course.
