Jose, we are very unhealthy. Whats the problem with this smoke . Why cant we get it to clear out . A couple of things we are looking at here. The main thing is the wind. The surface wind is taking the smoke. Continually smoke from the north to the south that past several days. The winds are relatively light. Lets take it one step further. I think this is really going to explain this for us. It is all about whats known as an in versiversion layer. It is warm air higher up in the atmosphere. Then on top of that you have some cooler air surfacing thats pushing the air right on down towards ground level. So we have High Pressure producing this and colder air at the surface and all of that thats getting stuck down here across the bay area. But, i am tracking two different systems thatll help potentially stir up the air. Well have more details on that coming up in about 15 minutes. Very good graphic. Good explanation, jeff. It is an eye opening few days. First from our san bruno camera. The
This parking lot. This morning and other parts the same mystery. Some lights were on others were not. Traffic lights at intersections were also hit and miss. It was so eerie. Some lights were on. By noon 80 residents had visited the pg e resource center. At ridge mont campus. He was here at 9 00 a. M. Three hours before us. Charging every device he owns. Hes good for now. Then again. I got a text from pg e that the power will be turned off at 6 00 p. M. Tonight. Even though its been off for three days. The lights came on before noon.

I do not want to contest what director brinkman said about the bad old days and how far we have come. Reading this conversation together with the one we had at the last meeting with vision 0, and about how poorly we are doing, i wonder whether we out to have more people in the room mad at us than we do now, and its a crazy thing to say in a way, but this is not a popularity contest, number one. Number two, and look, this is trouble ive encountered in my career. Just because the road goes by your house does not mean you own the road. And the people who use that road, or bike lane, or railroad, whatever it is, the people would us an it live all over the city because transportation is a network. And you shouldnt let somebody who resides at part of the network to tell you how the whole network works, just because they accidentally live near it. And people move all the time, too, and their attitudes move with them, and we are seeing a demographic change in the city, younger folks, and young
Kevin stall, and a rider of the bus line. And a major advocate for Pedestrian Safety and a lot of the changes here will help improve the corridor a lot. One of the major thoroughfares south of market with a lot of people walk, ride their bikes, drive, and take muni down this street. And with the number of people who are going to be moving into the neighborhood with the new projects, the potential of having a lot of families with children and possibly seniors and maybe people who are disabled who frequent this corridor a lot, the changes will most definitely help the people feel safe, and unfortunately we have 22 people in our city killed, pedestrian fatalities and the number is growing. So, any and all improvements to make sure people feel safe is much needed, and i fully support the project in its entirety. Thank you very much. Thank you. Paul, cat, simone. My name is courtney, here on behalf of supervisor matt haney, district 6. I think its a rare evening when the board of supervisor
