Because we continue to have concerns about the overall strengths of jackson as a corridor but also to address any concerns about rider ship, significant rider ship changes over time. The lower haight issue it is a trade off. For the policy and governs committee we looked at three options, the proposal, compromise staff proposal or the proposal that would reduce on haight street and that proposal does address concerns for lower haight residents. It is expensive. We go from about 50 additional hours on haight street to 100. It was not costeffective to address this trade off. You had a lot of questions. Thats a good start. Maybe just one other with the inner sunset you spoke to the landscaping concern which can absolutely be addressed. I think we got a letter on that one. There was some discussion about the length of the bulbs and i know they originally proposed to be the full length of a 2car train and they have come down and there were some concerns that the length were, there wasnt cla
Options on the streetscape work and make sure that we are creating places and strong public realm as part of this investment. On the 35, the concern that folks are talking about has to do with the terminal loop. How we turn the bus around. And there are two choices before us. The bus is going to be traveling down chenary connection to the bart station and we have the option to send it down arlington which is a relatively residential street or turning on wilder and getting back on chenary which is the commercial street. We looked at this as staff and feel that these Community Routes are already challenged enough by going through hill tops and taking twists and turns. Weve made some compromises in the routing to make sure that we are maintaining access to folks on addison and farn um. To also make a half mile stretch out of the route to one way on arlington we think its going to make the route less successful. Turning on wilder allows us to run two way and provide more access to commerci
Other means of transit. We thank you and want to you continue and keep sitting here and taking a beating. Thank you. Good morning. Before you approve this plan. You are about to embark on and i support this. I also support the sidewalk for pedestrians. The many people of color they do not have access to adequate Pedestrian Safety issues. Its an environmental issue. The people say that you need a car to get around, its very counter intuitive. That being said i hope that there are only transit lanes implemented in both directions when its stuck in traffic they will rerun on portrero. In the event it is rerouted. It also helps residents from southeast neighborhoods to get to the downtown area more efficient. I also support full bulb outs for two cars even 3car trains. It is unacceptable to water down bulb outs for a small vocal minority who will be gone in a few years. In addition for those concerned about parking removal you can replace elsewhere for parking spaces. Thank you. I have no
Conference begins. Really, the biggest update we have just over the last half hour from Josh Campbell and others, reporting that human remains, believed to be human remains have been found near the site. Reporter thats right. Thats something that will be asked at the press conference in a few minutes. Were expecting to hear from the mayor who is actually instituting a curfew around the area of the blast site. That started at 4 30 local time this afternoon, will go through sunday afternoon as well. This is to try to keep people away from the Downtown Core where investigators are really working on this. Where we are now, media are gathered, where the press conferences are happening is on Second Avenue but several blocks away from where the explosion happened this morning. You can see flashing lights in the distance where they blocked it off. You can also see theres pretty much nobody on the streets. Thats what a lot of downtown looks like now. Granted, it was already pretty quiet in nash
From where the massive explosion went off this morning. We know the fbi taking the lead in this investigation as we learn possibly human remains may have been found at that explosion site. Reporter the heart of National Nearly deserted Christmas Morning when the explosion occurred. Black smoke and flames visible for miles, residents nearby captured cries of distress, windows blown out, buildings damaged. It was completely demolished, the front was like a war zone. Had to climb over things, there was broken glass, people in front of the building in shark. There was nothing left of my windows, they were blown completely into the other room. If i had been standing there 10 minutes later i never wouldve survived that. Reporter National Police call the explosion intentional. Officers had arrived around on. Also responded, encountered an rv that had a recording saying a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes. Officers upon hearing that decided to evacuate the buildings nearby. Short
