The speaker pro tempore the gentleladys time has expired. For what purpose does the gentleman from ohio rise . Without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. Thank you. Mr. Speaker, march is colon Cancer Awareness month. Sadly, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancerrelated deaths among both men and women in this country. Including over 2,000 ohioans. Mr. Chabot but it doesnt have to be. As the American College of gas row college of gastro shows, colonoscopies could prevent over 50 of detects in the u
Citys law cannot violate the higher state law. Regardless, this city is taking this legal action which will have a Significant Impact. Although, the city is also proposing to change the location of many of these stops. That is not just information collection, thats moving the desk chairs around. The courts have construed ceqa exemptions very narrowly which in the cast ak lake got leveled in an earthquake and they said we are going to do a ceqa exemption and build higher and the courts said you cant do a ceqa exemption because you are not building it the way it was. Once you go outside the narrow scope of the exemption, the exemption doesnt apply anymore. Here the city is changing the law and changing the location of the stops, transit, weve got transit engineer tom bror hard who says those changes alone will increase the number of shuttles, increase amount of traffic, increased amount of pedestrian impacts because many operators dont want to operate illegally. But they will operate onc
That displacement had occurred and that further review need to occur . Not on this. It is set forth in the ceqa regulation appendix g subsection 12. The 710 freeway project is probably best known case on displacement where there is a direct displacement where the the neighborhood was bulldozed. This was different. I think we have enough expert testimony to establish an argument to establish that it requires further review. My next question was on the classic exemption and you said that this is for Scientific Research project. Our office has been able to pilot Pedestrian Safety and bike safety efforts in our district both on sixth street and folsom street on this time of exemption where we are studying removal of parking or car lane to but in a bulb out or put in an actual painted stripe bike lane to study as we move forward with a larger eir and redesign process for safety on those streets. The way you argued it seems that those types of pilots do not deserve those types of exemptions.
The violation, is it the code that they point to . Yes. Its state code 22500 which makes it illegal for any vehicle to block the bus stop. Who enforces that . The San Francisco Police Department or muni zone enforcement officers. Are you saying the pilot says its okay for the shuttles to violate that section of the code . Yes. The primary legal action occurred in the Pilot Program is to amend the citys transportation code. The citys transportation code makes it ill egal for a private bus stop. The Pilot Project amends the citys transportation code to make it lawful for these private shuttles to block the muni stations. Is the city amending the transportation code to allow any private citizen to use the stops . No. So you have a situation where the shuttles can park there, but if you and i do, we will get 271. Okay. The private shuttles would pay 1. Another question, is there any requirement that a ceqa exemption relate to a Pilot Project that is actually legal or can you issue a ceqa e
