To be responsible for Parking Enforcement . Why do we keep creating impediments instead of building on really one of the most popular successes of the last few years . When is the last time youve ever sat in this room and heard a near unanimous parade of merchants praising an mta program anywhere in the city . This this program has nearunanimous support from merchants on the 400 block of hayes that are directly affected. And its one of our citys most walkable and transit rich commercial areas. And for those who need to drive, theres a 600 space mta owned parking garage around the corner for everyone. Obviously, as youve heard, the shared space is not perfect, but instead of retreating, which will do nothing to address those concerns, we can work harder to make the shared space work better and live up to the values that we talk so much about. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. Board members. Luke bornheimer here. I urge you to amend the item today to keep the three day clos
They advanced for about a day and a half, very , very actively, they pressed, pressed on us, tried to break through, such an assault and beat the vlob again, we did not succeed, as they tried to take us, not in small groups, but such a general meat attack, about an hour and a half they worked hard for a few days our trenches are on them, the 41st brigade is holding here, our mortars, our drones were working, they were burning them, destroying them. Logistics, they retreated, now in recent days they have been working again in small groups, attempted assaults and shelling from artillery, very powerful shelling, unfortunately, there are wounded among us, thats how it is, i wouldnt say that it has become a little easier or easier, no, ugh , and tell me how much aviation continues to work, how active is this particular component of theirs now . Well, she works, works, as she worked, nothing interferes with them, here nothing has changed, we dont have any , we dont have f16 air conditioners,
Heard that a lot of businesses did not feel comfortable publicly voicing their concerns. So weve kept their responses anonymous as. In conclusion, this is not about a one day or a three day closure. This is about reset ing and rebuilding that trust in the community and making a process so its possible that the block can work well and get to 24 over seven. And it wasnt working for some merchants. And thats not a reason to cancel it entirely. We really want an opportunity to grow and expand. On the success in hayes valley and see it thrive. So with that, that concludes my presentation and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. Colleagues, do you have questions before we go to Public Comment at dr. Ikuko . Just one. I have i have feelings about this, but my clarifying question to you is there have been some talk of asking us to do some kind of study on what it would take to make this permanent and whats your thoughts on on doing that kind of study . Yeah, its would be amazin
