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
Beautifully renovated playground in the sites that we have, but we do have this pot of money were hoping to leverage so the short answer is there is more to come on that. Yeah, my only point being i dont like doing things twice so if we mobilize the resources for say any one of the tier one parks, whether we could maybe leverage that think bigger and use the opportunity that we have to expand parks, improve parks beyond the scope that we originally imagined. Again commissioner and dawn if you have thoughts you could certainly dive in. We want to do the most deliver the biggest bang for the bucks that we have but we do have a responsibility to try to focus on all of the playgrounds on this list at once over time before we talk about expanding scope at any one particular site. We do have i think thats correct and i also think in terms of leveraging more broadly there are a number of playgrounds that managed to attract additional funds already in terms of impact fees and add backs so that
Renovations that we did, so i want to make sure were going to invest considerable amount of money and a lot of different resources that we have these parks for as long as possible so i would like that addressed in the future efforts, and to continue planning with these quote unquote failing parks. Commissioner i think its a great question and in march we can come back with more detail but there are two questions embedded in your question. One is what is the current replacement cycle for assets and then what should it be . Because were certainly squeezing every month of life out of the play structures that is possible. When you saw the play structure at bo decker for example at lily wong right now they have been around for over a decade in some places closer to two and Merced Heights and no one has been here in a super long time and so some of those are functional still. You can still play on them, but the trends and in design and whennure compare the quality of those play structures to
And so finally i think that the what we have before us in terms of a recommendation captures three things they think are important going through the process. One that the recommendations represent where both highest in need in terms of conditions but highest opportunity with regard to leverage of resources is represented here. Also the geographic kind of distribution across our city is also i think well represented, not the entire city, but i do think well represented and something that dawn said a few minutes ago around the bang for the buck. It was helpful to have a fuller picture with the capital plans across the city to utilize the small pool of dollars and two final things. One, the opportunity that we have to do the rebranding. I think we should do that. I am hopeful this is ensuring that the parks across the city are beautiful spaces for communities and families, so i am hopeful at some point we dont need a failing playgrounds task force or anything by any other name frankly bec
More expensive and not the budget at lafayette and had support from others. This will depend on leveraging the dollars with philanthropic sources or grant sources and we are working on that. Lisa bransten from the team is very involved in that. This is something of passion ate interest of the Parks Alliance and will depend on timing and the additional funding that we have. I think we should focus before we grab streets and acquire land and build new parks i think we should focus on delivering the publics expectation which is a beautifully renovated playground in the sites that we have, but we do have this pot of money were hoping to leverage so the short answer is there is more to come on that. Yeah, my only point being i dont like doing things twice so if we mobilize the resources for say any one of the tier one parks, whether we could maybe leverage that think bigger and use the opportunity that we have to expand parks, improve parks beyond the scope that we originally imagined.
