One at key garden and j. F. K. And probably one or two more in the middle of the closure so theres less distance in the middle of the area. And im looking into increasing the accessible spots that we have on both sides of the closure. Right now, we dont have a timeline on this. Were still doing outreach. I would love any questions or feedback. All right. Thank you very much. Do any of the councilmembers have any questions . Alex . Thank you for coming. Can you when you say accessible, are you talking about sidewalk accessibility . And the second thing, have you talked about putting more lights at nighttime . When i was referring to accessible spots, i should have clarified, its for wheelchair access, so more disabled parking spots. And were not looking at adding lighting. Currently the closure is until 6 00 p. M. So lighting would be another question. Are you looking into more accessible sidewalks . Yes. For people that have mobility devices . Yes. I can go back.

We could probably do more outreach with the museums. I know people are coming to the park because of special events that happen in the park. While we have a lot of parking, im not sure that well able to figure out how to maximize parking in the park. Were going to be doing parking surveys and going out there with some folks in the coming weeks to see exactly where folks are going when they park, how long are they parked for, and try to see if we can work with the mta on coming up with solutions on that. All right. Is that it, orkid . Okay. Kate, youre up. Thank you for your presentation. I must admit that i have not gun to the park frequently. Its a distance from my home. And, therefore, i dont know, as this may be in place. Do you have tactile maps available . I have to look into that. I know we have various information booths, but i dont know the materials they have. I can follow up. If your committee is ever interested, if you would like to contact us, we have that service to create

If your committee is ever interested, if you would like to contact us, we have that service to create tactile maps that would truly help any individual visiting the park that didnt have vision. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I would just like to follow up i wanted to ask you, i take from your presentation that you have some kind of a van service that is provided on saturdays and sund
Have to you in the past, that the concourse garage is expensive. And thats probably why theres 120 free spots in there at any given time. But i did have another question how is the outreach done . And how is it continuing to be done . Right now, i am providing technical data and assisting where i can for presentations, such as today. In terms of any expansion, the Bicycle Coalition is doing a lot of the outreach. And theyre coordinating the meetings. We did all the initial meetings that i listed her. It was led by our department. And then there were folks that were more into the neighborhoods that we didnt reach out to, so were expanding that now. And thats what weve been working on. I know. I live 1 2 block from the park and no one has ever asked me my opinion and i will tell it to whoin that wants to listen. We appreciate that. Thank you. Excellent. Orkid, i understand youre next . Yes. Im a parent. And i take my son there pretty often on the weekend and i give presentations, so i at
I was involved 11 years ago when this thing came up the first time and it was very controversial, contentious, and its a shame it has to be brought up again. Right now, j. F. K. Is closed basically yearround sunday, half year on saturday. 75 of the time. Why is that not fair . And i think healthy saturdays, healthy San Francisco, that should apply to everyone and it should apply fairly to everyone. I think that and i realize the Disability Community is not of one mind on this issue, but we will be the ones that pay the price. So i would strongly advocate that you not go along with this expansion. Its just not necessary and i think it will put all of us in a hardship. Is access by the Disability Community in San Francisco so good that we can make it less so . I dont think so. All right. Thank you. Any more okay. One more speakers card. Sasha bitner. Sasha . I have lived in San Francisco for 35 years. I its difficult enough to get to Golden Gate Park and get around it. The proposed seems
