Park for a future investment with not just a set of projects right now, but also somewhat vetted set of projects that people can continue to develop if they want to seek additional philanthropy, if there is future geo bonds or general fund support. Our objective and principles that we use to evaluate the different projects we were proposing and developing were to, again, enhance Community Access into and through the park. To maintain the landscapes. To enhance views. I think thats one of the great hidden secretes of mclaren park, the views you cant get anywhere else and to create and build play opportunities. So this diagram i think gave us a general scheme, or framework for how to organize all the thinking about the different types of projects and how we wanted to think about this unique problem with circulation. Mclaren park has four distinct, 45 really, neighborhoods surrounding the park and the edges are actually one of the main challenges of the park. There are places, as ive said
Good morning, commissioners. Im sorry, im under the weather. Im shawn smith, native of San Francisco. Ive lived in the valley communities since 1993. I got started through this program for the don King Senior Center when the seniors operated the garden. But when they were too old to participate in it, i decided to volunteer and keep the grass cut for them and but they had moved from the center that was across the way, up to raymond street. As time went on, they aged on and they were unable to part pate in the gardens, so one of my main things was to find out who can help me and bring the Community Together and actually helping kids along with seniors to have an active Community Garden. Since it has been neglected for so long and now they have more beautification and renovations coming up. This is something that we would like to see in our Community Garden, we would like to actually ask you for the funding for the Community Garden and we thank the program, when youre talking about the v

Reflects our natural habitat. I think one of the main challenges of mclaren park is really its circulation. By that we mean the safe and predictable movement of people, dogs, children, cars, bikes and other ways of transportation. And yet to be developed across the park and thats one of the things that has most been lacking in mclaren, certainly since ive been working in recreation and Park Department. That a clear set of policies and a real model for how to accommodate all the users and their Movement Across the park has been one of the most fundamental challenges. Because while were moving people across the park and accommodate and balance, were also very much trying to protect the habitat and the natural features that make mclaren such an attractive place to go to, to visit. So we need to balance between the conservation of those resources with also our goal to increase activation. And this is just three kind of quick monkey flower, habitat, weve go redtailed hawks, mission blue but
