Excellent work thats going on right now and would just needlessly endanger what we 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.
We realize what a long process its been to put together the significant Natural Resource areas, managements plans. Weve watched that process for years, attended many of the meetings. And we hope that you can now go forward with that as it stands and not to remove sharp park from the plan. To do so and rechoirv a separate eir for sharp park would be to obstruct the excellent work thats going on right now and would just needlessly endanger what we consider a municipal masterpiece.
