One block from our school will likely displace the staff who parks in the area and around the school, exacerbating an already challenging parking situation for our teachers. Due to the housing crisis in San Francisco, many teachers live outside of San Francisco and are forced to commute into the city daily. Approximately 71 of our teachers drive to school and park nearby as theres no designated parking area for our school. As a principal my greater job is retaining quality teachers. Im going to let you read the rest of this, but this is key. These teachers are our community. As i heard you ask how many streets dont have street cleaning, a number of them. In the zone, these are the ones without it. They are flat streets as well as ones with hills. It prospect and winfield do not. Mirabel does not. Industries streets need street cleaning and enforcement. Thank you. Thank you next speaker, please. Clerk nicky vanderwallen. Is nicky here . No . Okay. Is desna lurotic here . Is nick miliotis here . Yes. Is linda kitlitz here . Hi. Thank you. I wanted to say change what i was going to say and address something mr. Wilson said and that gary mentioned, and that is the big orange line and how the process of this rpp was implemented with the petition and all. And that is we did not know about it i did not know about it until the meeting of april 19th, which was at the flynn school. And we were brought in there, and we were told yeah, you can oppose it. I oppose it, and the majority in that orange on the orange streets oppose it. And you can all oppose it, but this is happening any way to the streets that already have the petition, and you have no say on it. The only thing you can do is vote on your own street, even though you are going to be impacted by those few streets having the rpp. And then, people who are in favor of this petition started gathering more people, and the people from the other streets started to be fearful that they are going to have the back lash, so i want you to take that into consideration. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Clerk nick milianis, followed by debra kitlits and debra porter. Members of the board. My name is nick, and i live on folsom. Weve all heard the rum bles that the board has, 100 approval bl approval. I think the motion bringing the rpp to or not Bernal Heights i think it boils down to two points. One, the majority of people do not want rpp. The data survey were less than 15 blocks out of 144 surveyed voted in favor. Data study two is by the study of parked cars. Over 70 of the cars are people that live in a close proximity. That stretches to noe valley. That also stretches one block away from my car. I fall into that. 25 radius. Instituting rpp in bernal will pit neighbor against neighbor. It is negatively affect caregivers, teachers, make no mistake about that. It will be fix the traffic problem in this city. There are too many people with too many cars in too small of an area. The data shows that we dont want it. The data shows that despite the feelings of the vocal minority, we dont need it. Vote against the proposal to show that youre listening to us, and lets Work Together to seek alternate solutions. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your time. Debra porter and then denise jones, and they can lineup over here. Im linda kitlitz. I live at 28 coleridge. Ive lived there 28. 5 years. When i moved there, i didnt have the need for a garage because there was lots of street parking, and i dont have a garage. And my house has historical value, therefore, i cannot build a garage, okay . Even if i had the money, i cant. So i just wanted to point out that im in a block, 193, that has not been approved for parking permit, and i think one of the main reasons is that across the street, the address 190 coleridge, belongs to an Apartment Building housed by, i believe, majority seniors older than me, and i am a senior. Any way, people that did not vote on the parking permit and that building, i dont know what the deal is. I dont know why they did or did not vote, but thats hurt my block in voting. I do want the parking because i see hundreds of cars in the past 28. 5 years load up on my street. I see cars park there anywhere from five days until two weeks until the street cleaning takes place. And other neighborhoods in the city have parking permits. They work it out. We can work it out. We can get permits for the teachers and the nonprofits; whatever we have to do to work with them. Im in favor of working with them, but we need parking permits. Im in favor of it, i want it. Im tired of not being able to find parking often, and i came here today on muni. Thank you. Thank you very much, miss kitlitz next speaker, please. Debra porter. Hi. Im debra porter. I live on mirabel. I lived there since 2002. Prior to that, i lived on bryant street, and i hate residential parking. I argued against it in my neighborhood because i know o what it does on the border, but we are desperate in this situation. These discussions have been going on on mirabel before this started. Weve had to park our cars at precita park late at night. I want to commend hank especially because he has helped us immensely. We never wanted to impact the teachers, of course, and i believe that if youd look at why our neighbors in the area, its the ones close to mission street. We have a lot of issues over there. The rest of bernal, obviously, wouldnt need it very much, so i think youve got to take that into consideration. And i know were all committed to finding accommodations for anybody. Thats the way our block is. I mean, its a village, so if theres any way to help the teachers and the nonprofits, well find a way to do it. And im serious about that. And i really want to back the idea, when hank described to us what kind of headaches have you to go through to get this citywide reform done, its scary to think how long it should take to get this done. Its really never been a great solution. Its really a weird blockbyblock warring situation, and i think if you look at all these Creative Ideas that people have come up with, we could work those in. So thats my for. Im for the rpp. Thank you, miss porter. Next speaker, please. Denise jones, robert vic vickers, and emily lavitt. Good afternoon, my name is denise jones. Im opposed to this particular aspect of the parking permits because there arent enough spaces. Paying 126 a year is not going to create more spaces to park. Thank you. Thank you very much, miss jones. Next speaker, please. Clerk robert vickers, emily laughback. Good afternoon. Thank you for letting me speak. Im a resident of shotwell street. Im also a lyft driver. Since ive been driving for lyft four years and living in the Bernal Heights area, i have driven to our neighborhood. Over 100 cars that were parked in our neighborhood. In other words, id come home from the airport with a passenger and drop them off, and theyd pick up their car. Ive had cars parked in front of my house for over a week. Its very difficult to get those cars towed. It goes on and on and on. Ive been a part of this process since its inception. We do need permit parking. And i do feel for the teachers and the nonprofits. I think we can work out a situation to take care of their needs. We also have in the next year, 342plus new employees of st. Lukes hospital and theyll be looking for places to park. I wish youre right when you say, joel, that we are getting away from cars, but i cant tell you how many my milennial are moving to San Francisco with cars. I can show you 100 cars in my neighborhood with expired tags. Ive been doing my own research, and i believe his Research Back there is skewed. He doesnt want it. Our neighbors have gone out there and done the work, and it is time for our neighbors to get permit parking and take care of the teachers and nonprofit. Thank you, next speaker, please. Hello. Theres a couple things i want to say. I have, in the past, lived in a neighborhood in cole valley where i was in a block that didnt have the permitted parking and all around me did, and i would spend 45 minutes to an hour routinely looking for parking. I dont want that to happen again. Ive lived in Bernal Heights now for 12 years. Im also on the block of coleridge that is just outside. Were within the orange lines, but our block has been told from communications from your department on these maps ive seen several versions of this map, and with some versions, our block has been included, and some, we havent voted, so the communications have been really bad about whats doing happening. I have been talking to a woman named cathy steadwell from your office, whos told me that no one has gone into meet with people. I am a two two houses away from esmeralda, so this is going to affect the parking all around my house, and i am two houses outside the area that voted, and i wont be allowed to have a residential parking permit. So its really going to affect my individual parking. I dont think this has been done right. I do think we need residential parking in my neighborhood, but i want to be able to petition to get a residential parking permit myself because im two doors down from where its happening. And i just want to be able to have that included in this whole vote, as well. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker, please. John schmidt, robin hubinski, and vanessa baum. I have one question, and that is as the permit process continues and it is it is implemented, what are the whats the what is two reverse it if the parking situation does not improve . This was a question that was asked of me, and i wouldnt even know how to address it because as the parking permit gets put in place, and the residents find that it hasnt solved the problem, that can i reversed . Im against permit parking. Thank you. Ill be sure to ask that problem. Next speaker, please. Hi. Robin hubinski. 44 mirabel. I am wholeheartedly for approving the rpp. I certainly hear the peripheral neighbors talking about the fact that their blocks are not included in the original 15 blocks that we have done. Weve been canvassing. Weve met way more than three. Weve had hundreds of hours on committee. Weve worked with staff. Weve met the criteria. If you look at your application process, there was a basis line of what we had to do. I have no street cleaning, i have no permit parking. Im 14 minutes to 24th street b. A. R. T. Station. Just to put a radius in perspective, you cant see it to the west, would be delores, to the east would be 28th street to the mission, over to holiday street to the east and then over to crescent area in the south, so its a fairly large street, so neighbors somebody on crescent isnt my neighbor. Theyre not dealing with my issue. I think its really important because what im hearing is the teachers and the nonprofit, and i hear that, but why is that our Bernal Heights problem . The reality is if you look at your district maps, district z, i, and w are on the north side of cesar chavez. The Elementary School that flynn that were talking about is directly across the street from the i zone. Lets look at that and see if we can give the teachers that portion. But the nonprofit that they are talking about at cesar chavez is directly across from the i zone. Why does Bernal Heights have to be the person that bears the flynn and the nonprofits . There are three other jurisdictions that have been restricted to those teachers and nonprofits. Look to the whole neighborhood, and its easier to get them on those processes and those permits than it is to exclude us. Thats your permit, thats your map. That is your map. Theyre right there. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Vanessa baum, kathrin art, and judith. I work with the Central American resource center. Our executive director, larissa quadrodugan wanted to be here, but we couldnt. We are one of several nonprofits and Community Serving organizations in that area, including mission assert fund. The citys own mission, several schools and someone mentioned leonard flynn. We are very concerned that introducing hourly parking in this section of bedroom heigrn will negatively impact our clients that receive services in the area, including child care services, basic needs assistance among other needs. Many of our employees work in the area are former San Francisco residents that were pushed out and unfortunately have to commute to San Francisco. Theyre part of a growing trend of gentrification, that you cant pay the high rents and have to move out of San Francisco, just like our teachers. So it would be very difficult for us to do our job if we were forced to abide by the twohour limit parking, just like teachers cant leave the class to repark their car. We understand that this is a complicated situation, and its very heard warmit warming to ht residents are trying to find solutions t solutions for nonprofits and working schools. Theres no Public Parking place for us to park, and even if there was, we couldnt afford it. So please really consider the parking situation in Bernal Heights. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Clerk kathrin art followed by judith, and then henry velasquez. My. My name is cath lykathrin art. Im a 30 year resident of Bernal Heights, and im a fourth generation san franciscan. I jumped on the coat tails earlier of the mirabel people. It was enthusiasm for winfield street. Its a one way street that has parking on one side. Before me, my mom was struggling to park in a precar, you know, house that probably will never get a garage, also. And we have no street sweeping purposely because theres no other side of the street to move your car to, so theres just no place to park if we had street sweeping, so street sweeping is not a solution for us, at all. I dont have a lot more to say, except im really looking forward to it happening, and i think it would be beneficial to a large portion of Bernal Heights. And as far as the teachers are concerned, im sympathetic, and i would hope that we can look to some of the process of developing parking for teachers, even though were still moving to other resources. Were building more housing with fewer Parking Spaces that are coming in and going to encroach on Bernal Heights. Youve got a school yard, weve got an underground parking space there for staff. Just a thought. Thank you. Thank you very much, miss art. Next speaker, please. Henry velasques, and then ruth landry whos the last person to fill out a speaker card. [ inaudible ] if youd like to fill out a speaker card. Is mr. Velasquez here . No . All right. Miss landry. Good afternoon, board and mr. Reiskin. I live at the corner of mirabel street, at the intersection of coso, mirabel, and lundys lane. I can see all the traffic issues that have faced our neighborhood which ive known for many years. I just want to go on the record as saying it kind of breaks my heart to see good people pitted against each other over this issue in a process thats been very involved. We have one of the most progressive zip codes in our city, and i think we would all make whatever effort we can to make sure that teachers, etcetera, and nonprofits can afford to keep living and working in our neighborhood. I do want to go on the record as supporting the permit parking as the best based attempt in an imperfect world that were living in. I just want to speak to the traffic testifying in our neighborhood. The red carpet made things worse. Its also the ride sharing in other things. We did write there reiskin about this in august of 2016, and we have been collaborating with his team members and staff since then to see that our calming efforts are addressed. Just to say despite that dialogue, we have seen very few concrete things happen in the last 18 months. There is no speed limit sign, which weve asked for as people speed up the hill, and we are committed to vision zero, and we would like to work, we encourage you, with vision zero to work on thank you. Thank you very much miss landry. For our community. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is lynn. I dont live in Bernal Heights, but i have an idea for a solution for the teachers and nonprofits. That would be to use alomeni parking lot and other parking lots across from the tile store to house the cars from the school and nonprofits and then have a shuttle bus that would go around bayshore boulevard up cesar chavez to drop the teachers off at classes. And i dont know how municipal transit would work, but i know that megabus and all these google and twitter, they have buses that drop people off and pick them up. So i cant see why there cant be a fund through municipal transit or through the schools or the nonprofits or even through the rpp, people pay a little extra money to support a van that would pick the teachers up and drop them off. But there are two huge parking lots and quite a bit of Available Space for cars. Thank you. Thank you very much, lynn. Clerk do i have anymore people wishing to make Public Comment on this item. If so, please come up to the podium. If not, there will be our last member of the public to comment. My name is karen cohen. I live at 698 mirabel. I agree with the parking permits. I want them to happen. Our neighborhood has become a parking lot for the surrounding areas of the city as stated by hank. He used to park his car there when he went away on vacation. So many people park their cars in our neighborhood when they go on vacation. People that live on the other side of Cesar Chavez Park their car there because they dont want to deal with the permit parking there, and leave it there for weeks. This is a dig issu big issued its affected our parking in the neighborhood. Im sympathetic to all the teachers and nonprofits and everything, but we need a solution. Something needs to be done, and thats it. Thank you. Thank you very much, miss cohen, and that looks like it was our last member of the public to comment, so ill go ahead and close Public Comment. Now comes the fun and hard part. Director ramos, i look forward to the future you envision where we dont have such high car ownership, and we dont have meetings like this where were pitting neighbor against neighbor for care curb space thats very, very v
