Streets by people who recognize the street is narrow to make it all most untraversable. They would come up to sussex street and by the time they are diverted two blocks out of the way, they are not pleased with their situation and they are not driving safely and i have seen a lot of near misses on sussex street. Chenry street is a throughstreet. It has two dedicated lanes. It was always the emergency route so now if there are emergencies with the slow street, the emergency vehicles have to take a longer time to get to where they need to go because they are diverted but cant go down the narrow streets. I actually agree with a lot of the people who were talking about slow streets that they actually are not as safe as they are proported to be and would not let my kids ride the bike down the middle of chenry because i would be worried cars angry cars would come down. Please think before you vote for chenry slow streets. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Next speaker, please. I have maps
Mention about director yekusiel. I said it right. I cant say i ever really met director yekusiel, but i wish very well. I really do. And maybe, maybe, perhaps, maybe i will meet up in new york city subway. True. Your time is up next. Speaker. Herbert weiner, director tumlin pointed out the importance of Small Businesses to the economy and thriving of San Francisco. Now it should be noted with the institute of corridors on mission street, taraval street and now gary street, Small Businesses have folded. And what is going to be done about the restitution of these Small Businesses . The projects resulted in diminishing revenue and too many businesses, Small Businesses had to give up shop. So my concern is the restitution of Small Businesses and the advocacy of it in the light of mta projects which were actually detrimental to them. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello good afternoon. This is barry toronto. I want to wish director yekutiel hallelujah to him after what he witnessed in
Heard that a lot of businesses did not feel comfortable publicly voicing their concerns. So weve kept their responses anonymous as. In conclusion, this is not about a one day or a three day closure. This is about reset ing and rebuilding that trust in the community and making a process so its possible that the block can work well and get to 24 over seven. And it wasnt working for some merchants. And thats not a reason to cancel it entirely. We really want an opportunity to grow and expand. On the success in hayes valley and see it thrive. So with that, that concludes my presentation and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. Colleagues, do you have questions before we go to Public Comment at dr. Ikuko . Just one.
