Will notice the difference in buffer width next to the accessible parking space and next to the Parking Spaces that are nondesignated as accessible. This change of width is more to illustrate the different minimum requirements that we have. It does not mean necessarily that the buffers would barry in width like that. The accessible parking space will be parking wide. It can be a minimum of 8 feet wide. Places that are not designated as accessible, it can be four 4 feet wide and essentially its five 5 feet wide. In this next slide, we have a similar set up where we have a sidewalk and a green bicycle lane at the street level and on the other side of the bicycle lane, a raised buffer thats at the same level as the sidewalk. With a ramp leading towards the crosswalk at the beginning of the buffer. And on the buffer is a transit stop. So the buffer serves also as a transit island. And we also have a crossing, a Pedestrian Crossing both at the middle of the block. So at the far end of the t
Are the people that you really have to sit down and say, this is very serious. The city of San Francisco has to pay for these things. I think its important to sit down and have classes and have people come and talk and ask questions especially youth. Because if they dont start putting that into place, who is going to listen . Thank you. Now i will turn it over to comment from staff. Okay. Lets go to Public Comment. Well start with, if you will be kind to hang back if there are questions. We have a speaker. Thank you. For your presentation on accessibility on bike lanes. I have a question and concern and also a rhetorical question. Will there be, should there be, could there be installed on the medians on the north south, east west, roads such as gary and van ness an aps push button on the median to assist pedestrians crossing over those routes which in those two examples are also highway 1, which is van ness is 101 but equates to lombard which is also 101. Can that be installed to van
Having this improvement will be great and better factor Market Street to have double crosswalks. And this observation, i noticed that most of these dont have guard rails. You know, parentally Market Street had guard rails to guide them and once they get off the bus, they dont know where to go and they have an aid as a guard rail that will be helpful and also for safety. People tend to want to jaywalk anyway. So anyway, i just kind of throw that in for the time being. Im sure well have further discussion about it. Thank you. Councilmember kostanian . Hi. One of the things when i do go out. I dont go out very often, but when i do go out and have a chance to go to some of the neighborhoods and or to the park, i still see bikes and skateboarders going at a reckless speed and have no concern about people or anybody. Except on one thing, to have access and speed. When you are talking about education, i think these are the people that you really have to sit down and say, this is very serious.

Thank you for the question. Im going to defer to my colleague from livable streets. Miriam sorelli. It would depend on the example that sandra had an image of. One of the crosswalks at the actual intersection and that would be subject to whatever the normal markings are of the stoplight. In terms of the midblock location. Its a crosswalk that would yield to pedestrian in a crosswalk. Would it be added an extra stoplight that would be as the process. Can i ask a question as a follow up. Weve all been down to Market Street and seen news reports of bicyclist and running and mowing down pedestrians. These things, im not making this up. But at the same time, im happy that you are here though. We all want to help make it successful. So in speaking to that, the fact that adhering to the current standards for well, they are just going to have to wait or ensure that these bicyclist, the way they are going down, its not like a standard for pedestrian. They are a moving vehicle themselves. So say
