Substandard, cpmc must provide cooperation and some additional funding to address these conditions with the city. And lastly, cpmc will use a variety of outreach means at their disposal to encourage their employees to produce excuse me, to purchase a clipper card and will subsidize half the cost of the clipper card for all employees who wish to have one. Moving on to streetscape and Pedestrian Safety, in terms of streetscape and Pedestrian Safety, cpmc will pay the city 4. 25 million for Pedestrian Safety and sidewalk widening in the tenderloin, 200,000 to fund a safe passage Pilot Program in the tenderloin, and 1. 55 million for transit and safety improvements in the neighborhoods directly adjoining the Cathedral Hill campus. In addition, cpmc will pay 3 million to the city for enforcement and Traffic Safety improvements around the pacific and california campuses. Around st. Lukes and davies, the agreement calls for cpmc to build a specified program of improvement themselves along wit
So, it is extremely important to me that the hospital provide direct benefits to the residents in the tenderloin like me. I also just want to really thank again the supervisors and cpmc for listening to the residents of the tenderloin particularly around traffic and pedestrian related issues. As you know, safe passage is a movement in the tenderloin thats included as part of the Development Agreement and, so, were really excited to partner with cpmc and the city to create a visually designated safety route for kid in the tenderloin. I also want to just ask the supervisors to continue to work with cpmc to provide a mechanism for Community Groups and Coalition Groups to monitor and enforce the agreement that weve come to and also just want to urge cpmc to finalize the contract with the nurses of cna. Thanks. Thank you. Let me call up a couple more names to hopefully line up. James tracy, lawrence chung, manny flores already spoke i think. Dr. Eugene [speaker not understood]. Jim lazarus,
St. Lukes hospital in the future. I applaud you for all the work youve done and thank you. Thanks. Next speaker. Good evening. My name is karen makely and ive been a pediatrician at st. Lukes for 14 years. Im happy to return here today representing the st. Lukes medical staff and my pediatric colleagues throughout the cpmc system to endorse this new Development Agreement. Throughout the years weve experienced dramatic changes in our neighborhood. Our patient demographics and our available resources. One thing, however, has remained constant. Its the dedication of physicians, nurses and our employees to provide patients with the highest quality medical care available. This has endured since the hospital first opened its doors 100 years ago, more than 100 years ago. Just as so many of our patients are living day to day and check to check, working for a better tomorrow for their families, we have grown accustomed to an uncertain future. This agreement is a commitment to all. To the young

Predictment go. My mom was ill and we had to take her to the er. They saved her life. Its very personal to me. The test for me has always been we want saint lukes to be a world class hospital. This dealen insures that we get that. We have 120 beds. Which is a 50 percent increase from the original proposal, but more importantly, saint lukes plays a more Important Role as part of the larger cpmc system. Cpmc by making it a larger hospital is making a real commitment to ensure this hospital will continue to serve this community for years to come. Its not just the size of the hospital but the specific requirements that im happy to talk to you afterwards that actually required and followed the guidelines that the law provides but also that it provides specialties and a center of excellence that is specifically outlined to ensure that saint lukes is a successful hospital. And something that is very important and something that we fought for and i appreciate the fact that cpmc is willing to w
