Absolutely. We are issuing permits that are valid for no longer than one year. That is one t
You really have to have a uniform procedure for moving vehicles on the sidewalk. You would not allow cars on the sidewalk. He would not allow motorcycles on the sidewalk, that is for sure. We need to have a uniform safety code, so the pedestrians can be protected. That is a an agenda agenda for walk San Francisco. People have to be protected on the sidewalk, as well as the intersection. I certainly support the idea of identification. I think when scooters violate the laws they should be subject to prosecution. We need to have the safety for all san franciscans. Otherwise its going to be a nightmare scenario where youre going to have sidewalks infested with all of these vehicles and even Board Members will be safe either. It will be screaming for help. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, board of directors. Unfortunately the apocalypse that mr. Weiner just predicted his art here. If you got to the west side you will have to look very far to find cars on the sidewalk. People
