I hope you are looking closely at transit speeds and transit ridership. I support this project as a start for improving haight street for transit riders. Thank you very much. Ben black, jason henderson,. My name is ben black. I live at 249 page street which is the epicentre of this conflict between the bikes and cars.

Ive picked up personally two kids bloody and beaten that have been tboned b
Legitimate concerns about this project. Personally i would absolutely favor looking into evening matters, metering spots that arent metered right now and speak directly to the businesses. Dont assume that the city planning model will work for these businesses speak to our friend and to her other businesses there and see what is it that you need.

Guest this book is really titled based on a conversation i had with President Trump right as i was becoming acting secretary of the interior and i sate down with the president and had a discussion about potentially taking this role after serving as the deputy secretary. And in our discussion, we got to the end of the discussion and i said to him who do i report to and he said you report to me, which was a very different perspective than i expected.
