Every year from around the world to our beautiful city. I want to tell you about another jewel of the San Francisco port that just celebrated 125 years. The San Francisco Ferry Building. [applause] in the 19th century, commuters and visitors traveled by train or ferry or both. A Ferry Terminal on the waterfront downtown was a practical necessity. It was the sfo of its day. Grand central station. But as we so often do, San Francisco built a practical space a world class beauty, with a 245 foot clock tower along arched arcade, and a interior worthy of a renaissance cathedral. At the foot of Market Street, a beautiful bridge from water to land, the Ferry Building announced to every commuter, every traveller, this is San Francisco. You have arrived. Until that is, [applause] until that is, in the late 1930s when two new bridges the bay and golden gate and rise of the automobile made the Ferry Building seem outdated and unwanted. Soon the grand interior converted to drab cuneals cubicles an
we are coming to you live from gaza. the israeli prime minister says hamas leaders left gaza s largest hospital shortly before the army raided it. speaking to cbs news, benjamin netanyahu said there was no gunfight at al shifa because hamas had already fled. israel insists there s a hamas command centre at the site, but hasn t yet provided conclusive evidence. mr netanyahu also said hostages could have been moved from the hospital. yolande knell reports from jerusalem. the first evidence of the tunnel at al shifa hospital, israel s army says, but not the vast underground hamas command centre which it had said was hidden under the building. hamas and medics deny that here. an israeli soldier also shows the haul of weapons said to have been found in the compound. we cannot independently verify this footage. hundreds of palestinians, including newborn babies, remain trapped at the hospital without power. meanwhile, the body of yehudi weiss was found in a house nearby, israel s m
Person with an obvious disability and people talk about that people with disabilities dont bike, she said, yes, she did and shes had a kid and since then she and her kid bicycle, so even then we got an education of our own, against our own bias. And further the east band of the bay bridge is named after a senior who is a longtime bicycle advocate and that happened after he was 75 and hes still doing it after 80. So im trying to say that there are real people from our joint constituencies who do bicycle. But to get back to the 17th Street Project its a protected bicycle lane and that is one of the problems. San francisco is atypical for its Bike Coalition advocacy and the problems start at the top. Theres a booklet on this and they show pictures that clearly theres a lack of accessibility in what they tout as model bike protected bike lanes. Cal train stuck its head in the sand on this though theres been professional comments saying, dont do this, dont follow it and cal train will say t
Distributing any language and sample letters or postcards that people could submit for people to submit their experiences with accessibility issue with the t. N. C. S. Thank you, is there a general time frame for a Comment Period .

Go ahead. Go ahead. Can you hear me . I cant. We cannot hear you at this time due to technical difficulties. We have so
Where you run into complications when you have a onetime trip or theres something over a border that doesnt service a consumer and i wonder how you resolve issues like that if it just crosses the border . Oh, yeah, good question, thank you. The Paratransit Program is required to provide service that complements the muni service and so the and thats under the a. D. A. Requirements and guidelines and so Paratransit Service goes generally threequarters of a mile around where muni goes, and the muni lines and the muni service and if a person that has a trip that is outside of that they can take their paratransit to wherever the end of the end of that border is, that service area, and then i would suggest they could continue on, but then theyd be responsible for paying for that portion of the trip. Yeah, i think that is an interesting point because it also eats up a lot of time and paratransit has a specific schedule theyre bound to by routes and those things dont always match up so thinkin
