[speaking mandarin and cantonese] >> clerk: you may approach the podium, ma'am. we are taking two minute public comments. >> hello, i'm laura barber, i'm here to speak on behalf of the hahn street name change. i'm here the why we were invited to come. the mayor came out saturday and she spoke and she was happy to see that the street had been changed. as i see it, it's a done deal. what i heard coming out of her mouth. i'm confused as to why we would ask to come here to speak against it if it's already written out that it's going to happen or has happened, because the sign is up there. as i go on, can i ask someone to answer my question? i don't want to waste up much of my time. to the board of supervisors, who's going to help us out, financially, if we need to get a new driver's license? is the board prepared to help out in that manner? after the street name is changed, certain business you may take care of, they may want an i.d. that will match what you put on that application. i was told by the d.m.v. it will cost like $31 to have your license changed. i feel that it could have been on it without taking out hahn street block from us. we can have a new street -- we can name a new street in the sunnydale housing project. it's not sunnydale housing project anymore, it's a development area. you have a new building going up in there. i can see one of them being named in honor of her. to tell a short story about her. the young people will be able to read about her. they will know who she is. >> clerk: thank you, so much. let's take the next public comment. i apologize, this is not a q&a moment, this is time for folks to make public testimony for the open public meeting. next speaker please. [ speaking alternate language ] >> interpreter: hello, committee members. i'm the resident of district 10. i also lived on hahn street. i oppose the resolution renaming hahn street between the visitacion avenue and sunnydale to mrs. jackson way. here's why, first hahn street includes three segments. it is strange to just rename the middle segment of hahn street between the intersections of visitacion and sunnydale avenue. number two, i am and my neighbors appreciate all the good that dr. ruth mary jackson did. we, as hard working taxpayer, also have made significant contribution to our community. it can be costly in time and money for our 17 household who live on hahn street. because it is common to update the address for all our legal documents, mortgage documents, mailing address and i.d. and more. address is personally identifiable information. second, important, i hope that all committee members can hear our voice. our mayor came to our community to attend a committee event of renaming hahn street. i don't know why our voice is ignored. i like to ask you all and urge the community to look at this resolution and i like to request an alternative resolution to honor ms. jackson. >> clerk: thank you so much. next speaker please. >> hi, i'm hazel. i live at 161 hahn street. i am not in favor of the street name being changed. most of us over there are senior citizens. we've been there for some 40 plus years. that will be too much of a handicap for us to change the name. we have to change everything that we have for our mailing address. i'm afraid that some of our mail we will not get. i would appreciate it whomever is in charge of this, is not to change our street name. thank you. >> clerk: are there any other members of the public who like to speak? [ speaking cantonese] >> interpreter: hello members of land use and transportation committee. my name is wendy. i've lived at hahn street for over 13 years. i oppose this resolution as well, because, i really think that renaming hahn street it will bring a lot of inconvenience for our labors. here's why, hahn street includes three segments. it's weird to rename the middle section of hahn street, that's where i live. it will upset our labors. also, the second thing is that, as taxpayer and we also make a lot of contribution to our community. please consider our voice. i do think that this should be another relative -- another alternative solution to deal with this matter to honor mrs. jackson. it's kind of waste of public funding. i hope that we can consider a better solution to honor mrs. jackson. thank you for your consideration. >> clerk: are there any members of the public who like to speak on this item? okay, we'll move to remote call-in line. looks like we have zero people in the queue. >> supervisor melgar: with that public comment is closed. president walton? >> president walton: i want to thank everyone who came out and spoke today. i want to remind everyone, this was something that community had brought to our attention years ago to do for mrs. ruth jackson, even prior to her untimely passing. we did conduct the appropriate outreach as a city, comments were received and most of the comments were kind of around what you heard today, just in terms of the difficulty in renaming the street, some of the costs that may be associated. i do want everyone to know that our office is available to have conversation about how we can mitigate some of the concerns that some of our constituents may have. also i want to remind everyone, we have already approved the renaming. this is just solidify to give certain directives to few city departments, most certainly our office is available to work with our constituents on mitigating some of their concerns. i will remind everyone, like supervisor peskin stated, there's language in here that this would have to have mrs. jackson way along with hahn in parenthesis. this is a five-year duration. any of the concerns that were brought up, i can definitely address. the data supports that we -- this is something that community is in support of. we only received seven responses. again, the only negative aspect from the responses was definitely nothing to do with naming the street after mrs. jackson but about some of the concerns that were stated here today in terms of licenses and different things with the street name change. >> supervisor melgar: thank you. are there any questions or concerns? can we have a motion with a positive recommendation? thank you supervisor preston. >> clerk: on that motion. [roll call vote] you have three ayes. >> supervisor melgar: that motion passes. thank you. madam clerk, please call item 2 and 3 together. >> clerk: item 2, resolution to declaring the intention of the board of supervisors to order the vacation of portion of griffith street and hudson avenue block number 4629a a portion of innes avenue block number 4645 lot 10, force of hudson avenue at assessor's parcel block 4630 lot two to facilitate the development of 900 innes avenue, known as indian basin. item 3 is an ordinance a street vacation order of innes street to approving the

of the indian basin water front park renovation project, as it relates to the easement before you at indian basin, which has been historically underserved. the division for this site has been to create a larger interconnected water front park and trail network in the bay view punter hunters point community. with that recognition in 2015, the property owner, as well as regional and bayview hunter point stakeholder, to understand the opportunity to ensure all indian basin parks feel and operate as a integrated park system. out of this process, goals around equity and inclusion became front and center. the equitable development plan was created, otherwise known as the e.d.p. the equitable development plan ensures this water front park will benefit current bayview hunter point residents. it provides a blueprint for delivering a park designed by and for the community while improving economic opportunity and environmental health for its residents. it is a culmination of a two-year community-driven process to preserve the rich culture, identity and pride within bay view hunters point. to ensure that the multimillion dollar development uplifts the community monday its park boundaries. indian basin water front project is aimed for community investment which includes three main priorities. to address decades of environmental, contamination from both building and ship repair activities. to create inspiring and amenity rich water front parks that build community capacity and reflective of the bayview hunters point community. third t create a resilient, healthy and adaptive shoreline and community. the indian basin water front park includes several park sites. the first future park development at 900 innes avenue. we're in mediation for that site now and preparing to begin construction this summer for the park. second, the comprehensive renovation of the existing indian basin shoreline park, which is the park to the northwest, and third the renovation and expansion of the existing indian basin open space and new big green, which are being constructed by build inc. which is part of the innes mixed use project. these open spaces about provide public amenities and will be linked by pedestrian and bicycle pathways. please note that the proposed street and public utility vacations will accommodate these important park improvements, proposed by the recreation and park department and e.i.r.s. in the development of these parks, is an important component to the needed reinvestment in the bayview hunters point community. it is also consistent with

bounded by innes avenue. it overlaps with the western most edges of the proposed park developments. the department plans to return to the board at a later date for a futch second vacation boundary, which is depicted in yellow. that comprises an edge of the park development site, however, because survey work will take little bit longer and given the time sensitivity of our current construction
