Peter strauss, hiedi peterson, rowen, cindy baker, jordan wang. Welcome back. Good afternoon. Peter strauss on the board of San Francisco transit riders.

I hate to not be part of the chorus but we have a number of concerns, however, we do fully support the traffic changes and very much look forward to the quick build. We also support the separated bike lanes. However, we have a number of physical concerns primarily related to stops. We note that with respect to accessibility it only creates full accessibility by removing. Take your hand off the mic. Sorry. It only provides full accessibility by removing all of the non accessible stops. Were very concerned about the half mile spacing. According to the data provided by staff, speed still remain only seven and a half Miles Per Hour or so and and seven miles an hour or so and travel savings are only one or two minutes which we dont feel justified the removal of all those stops. Thank you. If y
One thing were careful about is maintaining commercial look access so loading can occur on Market Street but we want to minimize conflicts with people biking on that sidewalk level bike lane. With the bike way, we determined that its best if we retain the loading bays concept like we have today where theres designated loading spaces on each block but weve brought it up onto the sidewalk and created a flex zone and theres a Cross Section and this space is 16 feet wide and leaves enough space for commercial vehicles to get up onto the sidewalk on a onefoot curb. The commercial vehicles can pull over to the side and theres enough space for us to maintain a clear space to be bikes to get around the commercial vehicles. We want to minimize the times we have commercial vehicles crossing the bike space. And so were pairing this design with commercial loading restrictions. So the morning when bikes are going downtown we have no loading on the south side of the street and similarly in the eveni
Forecast. So it begin. Its a little chilly out there this morning. Some fog as well. We have a bit of drizzle along the coast too. Heres a live look outside from the exploratorium camera right now showing you we have that morning gray overcast. This is one of those days where across the city that fog is going to be very persistent. So well see. Limited sunshine in the city and along the coast, but away from the coast we will have bright conditions, temperatures. Right now were basically all starting out in the 50s this morning. So lets break it down by our regions first along the coast, very similar to yesterday. We get a little bit of sunshine later on this afternoon, but clouds really ruling the forecast near the coast. Temperatures stuck in the 50s all day now around the bay shoreline. Its a little bit of a different story. You can see were starting with cloud cover ending with cloud cover. But temperatures are in the 60s. Then as you head inland, we will find those temperatures a l
Its been sitting empty since a fire two years ago. Abc seven News Reporter j. R stone has the latest on their demands. A day after a compromise was reached to disband the encampment on the uc berkeley campus, propalestinian activists took over a uc berkeley abandoned building. The one directly behind me. This has been peaceful and that is important to note. There is graffiti though now covering parts of this alumni hall building. We have seen online video showing the same inside uc berkeley. Police say some in this group hopped fences and broke windows out to get inside, and there was initially a thought that this was a peoples park protest because its the 55th anniversary of the founding of that park, but that has merged more into gaza. Theyre first going to hear from a woman who is here supporting the people of gaza. Then youll hear from a man who is upset with organizers saying he doesnt know who they are or what the message is. I got here a little late. Why . Why was the building t
