The hvna enthusiastically endorsed this project and we ask that you reject this appeal. Ive participated in multiple meetings on this project. There was a thorough public process. Density has been mentioned. The real problem that we acknowledge in hayes valley is the density of cars is the real problem, not the density of people. In fact, were disappointed that the fell and oak project didnt reduce a lane and look at the whole corridor. But thats another matter and we understand compromise. And so removing the parking was the compromise. And theres no Significant Impact on automobile intersection level of service, as much as i would like us to get away from using that metric, i do understand that metric and this project has thoroughly looked at that. Therefore, there is no impact on transit, the 16x. The impacts on pedestrians is only positive. So theres no significant Environmental Impact there. And the impacts on bicycles is only positive.

Independent. Im not quite sure whats meant by that but if you could elaborate a little bit that would be helpful. Like i mentioned weve been studying this for a year now but it was nine months in the planning process and we conducted Traffic Counts, and it was mta staff who collected Traffic Count data. We had an independent party help us collect some of the bike data, but we also collected bike data by ourselves. We collect our own speed surveys.

That were raised by the appellants. As you know, this project has been on the front lines of this neighborhood for decades. Ever since weve been talking about how to improve the bike network in San Francisco and ever since weve been talking about how to increase Pedestrian Safety, oak street and fell street are three lanes in each direction, four lanes in some places, they carry 30,000plus cars each day on each street. And people in this neighborhood and people who just move throughout the city have said that these streets dont feel safe, they dont feel comfortable, please do something about it. And it took a while and it took some momentum to get us going but we finally did it. We finally brought the Community Together and we worked over nine months with a variety of stakeholders, local stakeholders, people throughout the city. And we came up with a plan. And that plan went before the mta board. They considered the policy merits of it and decided to pass it unanimously on october 16.
