Good morning, commissioners. Im sorry, im under the weather. Im shawn smith, native of San Francisco. Ive lived in the valley communities since 1993. I got started through this program for the don King Senior Center when the seniors operated the garden. But when they were too old to participate in it, i decided to volunteer and keep the grass cut for them and but they had moved from the center that was across the way, up to raymond street. As time went on, they aged on and they were unable to part pate in the gardens, so one of my main things was to find out who can help me and bring the Community Together and actually helping kids along with seniors to have an active Community Garden. Since it has been neglected for so long and now they have more beautification and renovations coming up. This is something that we would like to see in our Community Garden, we would like to actually ask you for the funding for the Community Garden and we thank the program, when youre talking about the v

By that we mean the safe and predictable movement of people, dogs, children, cars, bikes and other ways of transportation. And yet to be developed across the park and thats one of the things that has most been lacking in mclaren, certainly since ive been working in recreation and Park Department.

This is something that we would like to see in our Community Garden, we would like to actually ask you for the funding for the Community Garden and we thank the program, when youre talking about the vision program, for bringing this up to par. I would like to thank everyone from alexis, jake, fran, everyone involved in it. We also would like to add that in the future, if you can see that most of our children will grow older and as our children grow older, they can be taken care of because as we know, San Francisco is turning into a large city that has very, very small condensed area, so if you please, just give a little consideration to the children and to the seniors that are here in our city.
