This was 20 feet and the two blocks were 80 feet it wouldnt wouldnt be done i think this is important to see the photos in my district since ive seen a number of fires on extremely narrowed streets and your department has been heroic do you also have photos of pedestrians who have been killed oirs Department Responds to the pedestrian accidents i didnt see that in my district or supervisor cowens or supervisor breed district do you have those. Because of the act we cant show the pictures of victims but once youve seen someone getting hit by a car thats something you dont forget and were all for Public Safety its okay to get the bulb out at the end where people across the streets on the 20 feet but people shouldnt be jaywalking would that be acceptable if there were 26 feet and pedestrians crossing at the 20 feet is that acceptable.

Im not going to go around in cycles im sorry what were you saying. Back to the presentation, please. So the infrastructure plan stated the streets shall be determined during the recommendations of the procures for granting the sections.
