There are one hundred and 5 thousand trees in San Francisco and the estimate of the city where we dont have a good consensus of centralizing because theyre not planted with a permit and in addition areas like sunset that are like park and Inventory Data on the trees is not one hundred percent accurate so currently thats our estimate after having transferred just over 6 thousand trees to Property Owners about 70 thousands are the maintenance of the adjacent Property Owners we anticipate after the program puc will continue to maintain 189 or 18 thousand 6 hundred trees located in public mediums or areas adjacent to public lands for Property Owners to take care of the property trees we have not inspected the trees because we dont have the resources and supervisor wiener there are a number of trees we were not able to transfer because theyve been neglected because of our inability to prune them we have to fix the sidewalks before transferring them to the prove or disprove we transferred 3
Exemption for that. Theres no exemption for that at the time. Thanks. Ill quickly go over the process that is outlined in the public works so article 16 to transfer the maintenance to the adjacent Property Owners but outlines the steps so prior to the transfer of trees the are tree needs to be inspected theres no immediate maintenance required we have to post a notice on the tree and provide information for tree care and address concerns and have a public hearing as requested by someone that has received a street tree so, now some of the challenges for the tree transfer we have many Property Owners that are unwilling to care for their trees theyre facing maintenance and some of the trees are large trees maintained by the city tend to be healthy and larger so if we are transferring those trees in many cases are transferring robust trees to Property Owners one of the biggest concerns of the concerns of qualify of cares and the destruction of trees and loss the efficiency of scale by havi
And receive, to seek and find, and to knock for doors to open. Lord forgive us when we have forfeited your blessings because of our failure to ask.

Pedestrians, we can get them out of their cars. We thank everybody, the ta and cac and sfmta. Herbert weiner. I encourage you to stop and pause and not move this quickly as possible. For one thing, how does this affect cars . You are going to have a spill over of traffic from franklin and hyde street and eleven worth streets. They are going to be more heavily populated by cars. I realize there is an anticar culture in this city. The reality is that everyone drives cars including communist.
