Streets, lights and timers are provided near Senior Centers. I live near two Senior Centers with no timers. You just sort of just talk across the street. And something bad can happen there, because a senior on their wheelchair could take more time than the average pedestrian. I want to continue the pensions and benefits that seniors receive, given by california and the city and county of San Francisco. And i want to make sure that everyday activities, seniors going to buy groceries at the market, or going to the park, i want to make sure theyre accessible. That means having senior accusations on transportation. Moderator thank you very much. Miss omeara. Theres one thing that everybody left out. It got me thinking a little while back on the senior issue. Like i would like people to hear it and know how you respond. Wellness centers is one thing i associate with seniors. I know this from personal experience, because having lived with my inlaws a little while back hold on. Ill be real qu
Their guns. Many told me they dont necessarily need tasers. And they have nowhere to place it. So i dont see the need for that. And i and, of course, they have their guns. I just want to make sure that Police Officers are following procedures and following commands of higher officers. Moderator thank you very much. Ms. Omeara. Well, i definitely agree that there is there is theres a requirement for intensive Police Training and perhaps introducing some new measures or a new way to look at things. But there definitely needs to be a training thats different from the past. Ill give an example. Racial profiling, as we know, do happen in the city, it happens a lot, even in neighborhoods that use to be highly dangerous. Maybe they need to look at the current curriculum that the police has and it needs to be on a whole refresher course. Thats one instance. The second one is i want to share with everybody about two weeks ago, i was invited to a nancy pelosi town hall meeting. And i joined a wo
Safety and stability of seniors as a top priority for any supervisor in San Francisco. Moderator thank you very much. Ms. Brown. Yes. I mean, seniors are the Fastest Growing population in this city. So we really have to really look at what we need to do. We also, besides housing and on the housing bond, the 600 million housing bond that i actually worked on, there will be money for senior housing. We need appropriate housing. I talked to many seniors every day. And one of the things they say is like, look, i have rent control. But i have you know, 50 stairs up to get to my apartment. And i have a hard time managing that. So we have to build the right kind of senior housing, so people can actually have elevators with Senior Services on site. This is something that were doing with prop a. But also we have to look at transportation, because a lot of seniors give up cars or, you know, or they actually start using transportation a lot more. We have to make it safe. Unless we have safe trans
In particular. But all of you to the hearing, as we are galloping toward the need to the act. Cities and localities are looking to us to see what we are to do. I met with a group this morning and congress. It is in the most difficult we have had to do. The issues havent waited for congress to catch up on revenue. After and in the using other methods. To get rid of congestion and to bring us into the 21st century. On transportation. In todays hearing, we will look at some of those questions. The nuances of federal towing policy and congestion pricing. Off technology solutions. To address congestions or congestion and many other Transportation Needs today. While congress failed to solve the revenue question, is negatively attacked and affected the constituents as never before. Not to mention, the quality of air we breathe and failure to deal with Climate Change which was not even discussed at the time of the last reauthorization, to indicate just how far time has moved and how much congr
Seat held by senator john mccain. Like most of my life, i didnt take the traditional path, but i am blessed to have been given the opportunity to make a difference for others and stand in this Historic Chamber today. I love arizona, the grand canyon state, its people and our spirit. Like many arizonans, i wasnt born there, so this is a love of choice. Also like many arizonans, i first came to the state on a military assignment in the summer of 1990 to attend Pilot Training at Williams Air Force base, now home to a thriving Industrial Park called mesa gateway. I fell in love with arizona right away and was fortunate to have the Majestic View from the sky as a pilot. What a privilege to live in a land of adventure id only read about as a kid. Home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the grand canyon, and our diverse landscapes, mountains, canyons, lakes, rivers, sunsets, and the powerful desert lightning. After an assignment away i came back to arizona to fly the a10 war
