Just really just want to say that i think around equity that it comes down to a fundamental belief in what we believe, not just about parks but what we believe about people and what do we believe about segments of our population. I agree. Supervisor fewer when we do equity work thats what were really getting at, its about who we are, and who we are as people and what do we fundamentally believe and for some of us it is a paradigm shift, for some of us but if we dont have also people teaching us we wont know. And as a chinese woman and College Educated in this position, i have a huge privilege. I think that i would not other than how i am serving sort of my population and in my district if there werent if there wasnt a way to specifically outreach to that population how well am i serving you and to hear from them about how well so i get that its hard to get data and i get all that, i just think that it is really important to capture as much data as possible and im just im just going to

There are a number of Golden Gate Park initiatives in the Strategic Plan and i would say to you from my last 10 years in this position that there is probably no more robust conversation than there is on any issue around Golden Gate Park. I think that, frankly, i think that we have more work to do getting other neighborhood groups and folks from other parks engaged in, you know, sort of park policy and park advocacy conversations and theres a lot around Golden Gate Park so im not sure that were lacking in that regard, supervisor. You know, the the road closures, you know, traffic is an issue in the park.
