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.

Good afternoon, president brandon. Im the Deputy Director for planning and environment. Happy to be here today to provide a report on where we are with the draft waterfront plan which was published in june. The work that weve withi been g over the summer. I wanted to give you a report on the feedback and the outreach efforts and to provide this public hearing opportunity, as well, for further Public Comments to come forth.

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
