Our sense was as i said before, the city family can come together and marshal the resources to try to make this happen. And if we have a willing party in terms of the property owner, i think it is possible. We have evaluated the level of Environmental Review that we believe would be required. We believe that its doable in that timeline. The other approvals we believe are doable in that timeline. Its certainly by no means easy. Its by no means a slam dunk. But, again, would not have recommended it if i didnt think it was viable. As i said before, i think it is a win win scenario. Its one that i would like to see happen. And with regard to the timing, as i tried to explain, if we dont make a decision by a certain point, we start to impact the project and put the agency and the san franciscans who fund it at risk. So, thats where we got this, the deadline from. While the specific day is not based on science, this is not an arbitrary deadline, we need to make a decision around that time if
And we also produced about 40,000 fliers for distribution at their request. So, well be seeing those in the next few months. The other track were following is the technical end in getting the machines and everything up to snuff and ready for implementation by january 6th. And on all the nonsf park meters which is three quarters of the stock, theyre the older variety, were preprogramming the changes in the shop and we will be visiting the site and touching each one of them and affecting the change in the operating hours and the time limits. That will be thats occurring right now and we expect to finish on time. We are also updating our software on the Parking Management database, and we also expect that to be ready on time. The meters will have a fourhour limit and theres a capability to be prepaid citywide on all the meters. The new as well as the older models. And you can prepay as early as 4 30 in the morning of that particular day. So, for example, if you want to attend service at n
That you wouldnt have put it on here for option 4 if you didnt think it was at least, you know, well within the realm of possibility. And, so, two questions. Would it help us, would it help you in your political and other efforts if we were to change the whereas clause that sort of suggests all of the approvals and funding have to be obtained by february 1st to essentially say they all had to be lined up or, you know, presumed to be feasible by february 1st, number one . And number two, would it help you if, as one of our valued constituents said, that we really change the resolution to say were directing you to make option 4 happen to the extent you can . Or do you really read it that way right now . To the latter, thats what i read and i read it as a direction from the board to make 4 happen. Good. In terms of modifying the whereas to speak to the spirit of having everything lined up such that we know that, say, option 4 is certain as opposed to every last approval in place, im fine
You go into the hills. Youre going to see a lot of cab drivers and private citizens going into the hills or clogging some of the chinatown streets to get to north beach or to find parking in north beach, or people to be dropped off in north beach. So, i think you have to deal with youre forgetting that these small the difference between union square and north beach is that union square closes by 9 oclock at night. Its dead. And you want to go out to eat after a movie, after a concert, you go to chinatown outside chinatown and north beach, its not going to happen and people are going to go out of business. Thank you. Next speaker. Roland salvato, denise dan, John Bollinger and [speaker not understood]. Good afternoon. Hi, roland salvato. Thanks, directors. Some mistakes are very expensive, and im afraid thats whats going to culminate here because there are and there have been a few mistakes beginning with things that are obvious in the documents that have been circulated. So, for exampl
Enforcement times will stay put on the meters. We have also met at your suggestion with a panel of religious and Community Representatives in mid november. Its was very successful. They had a lot of good suggestions on how to do outreach, and we are volunteering to meet with one of the leader of the group, mr. Michael pappas, to the Inter Faith Council to personally visit with him some problem locations that he had suggested and also work with him to see if there are some solutionses and outreach methods we can try to reach some of those affected parties to try to relieve some of the potential problems that may be faced. They also gave us quite a bit of good feedback on other issues, including the suggestion for us to start the sfmta to do more consistent applications of our, of our Parking Management equipment and processes and regulations. We take that to heart and we will be putting a lot of those suggestions into place in the next couple months as well as the upcoming year. We have
