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. So theres no Significant Impact there. Some

President chiu thank you. Next speaker. Good evening. My name is barbara tangori. Ive been living across the bay in oakland for several decades, but i do come back and forth, working on several campaigns. But im here tonight particularly for one person, who impressed me tremendously for her gutsy vote for sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to go back to work as sheriff of this city. Christina olague, you were appointed into the position. You took a risk, and i admire you for your principle, rather than the Political Part of it. Thank you very much. And i wish you all the very best. And im so glad i was here tonight because i heard a lot of wonderful things. Ive never talked top pu ive never met you. Ive never even crossed the aisle with you, you know, anywhere. So thank you so much. And i wish you all the very best. And supervisor kim, i was very much surprised. Thank you for your vote. Supervisor avalos and supervisor campos, i always thought, from the very beginning, because all we needed was ju
Options, and elements. And the solution that was eventually approved was something that we were in favor of, which included minor alterations to the existing conditions that namely traded parking for safer travel for bicycles and pedestrians. So with that in mind, we support Planning Department determination of the projects exemption because the appeal does not support our neighborhoods need for improved safety for the residents, or visitors coming into our neighborhood. And this project is very important. It does serve our neighborhood significantly. In fact, delays to this project would be harmful to our safety and were quite concerned about that. So we urge you to always uphold these type of exemptions because, you know, this is how we are able to make improvements to our neighborhood. Thank you. President chiu next speaker please. Good evening, supervisors. Im elizabeth stampe, executive director of walk San Francisco. And im here to encourage you to reject this appeal and affirm t
Speeds. These are important fixes to make some of the highest speed streets in our city closest to our most beloved park more safe for people walking. It clearly this project clearly falls into a categorical exemption from a full environmental review. It is clearly minor. And a reversal of the exemption would really set a bad precedent, forcing full reviews on traffic calming projects, even small scale fixes like bulbouts as well as other Sustainable Design improvements. A reversal would delay not only these current improvements that are muchneeded as the previous speaker said on fell and oak, but critical projects in the future. We need safer streets sooner, not with more delays. So thank you very much. Good evening, supervisors. My name is jason henderson, im with the hayes valley neighborhood association.
