Online. Thinking about the comments from the public about creating walking and biking space. And its not and also thinking about director tomlin and the time to rethink the Mobility System from the ground up. I wanted to request that staff work to kind of develop and the Mobility Plan work and what this will do is key up an opportunity to praise staff for doing that area. And we are able to move with this very interesting world and so quickly in this time of need. And at the same time i think its important for the board to have a discussion and public to be able to weigh in about which streets make sense to prioritize and i just wanted to put out that request to staff and from a personal note, i biked this past weekend with my family all the way out j. F. K. And out to the great highway and got to experience great highway. Which director tomlin reiterated after to that low stress was a real privilege and just made me think what if we could create a low stress Bicycle Network all around
I do not want to contest what director brinkman said about the bad old days and how far we have come. Reading this conversation together with the one we had at the last meeting with vision 0, and about how poorly we are doing, i wonder whether we out to have more people in the room mad at us than we do now, and its a crazy thing to say in a way, but this is not a popularity contest, number one. Number two, and look, this is trouble ive encountered in my career. Just because the road goes by your house does not mean you own the road. And the people who use that road, or bike lane, or railroad, whatever it is, the people would us an it live all over the city because transportation is a network. And you shouldnt let somebody who resides at part of the network to tell you how the whole network works, just because they accidentally live near it. And people move all the time, too, and their attitudes move with them, and we are seeing a demographic change in the city, younger folks, and young
Kevin stall, and a rider of the bus line. And a major advocate for Pedestrian Safety and a lot of the changes here will help improve the corridor a lot. One of the major thoroughfares south of market with a lot of people walk, ride their bikes, drive, and take muni down this street. And with the number of people who are going to be moving into the neighborhood with the new projects, the potential of having a lot of families with children and possibly seniors and maybe people who are disabled who frequent this corridor a lot, the changes will most definitely help the people feel safe, and unfortunately we have 22 people in our city killed, pedestrian fatalities and the number is growing. So, any and all improvements to make sure people feel safe is much needed, and i fully support the project in its entirety. Thank you very much. Thank you. Paul, cat, simone.

We worked for over two years to minimize the impacts, proposing turn lanes and signal changes and other small changes to accommodate the use along the streets. A thoughtful design that prioritizes to address critical safety needs, also taking into account unique character and needs of 5th street and the community. Lastly, i would like to end by touching on the next steps for the corridor. Following todays meeting if approve, preconstruction outreach prior to starting restriping in the fall and work with the shops to be cognizant. Concrete work will then take place in the winter of 2020. We are collecting preproject data now and post project Data Collection in the fall of 2020, and publish the findings soon after. And looking towards making the quick build design more permanent. We see that in the fall of 2021. Thanks very much for your i am too. Happy to answer questions.

I am erin. I am a neighbor of the project. I live directly next door. I wonder if you can just i can show you. Please speak into the microphone. Sorry. I am short. That is my house and the red dot is their house. I live directly next door which i think is fairly relevant here because i want to share my enthusiastic support for the project and the people next door share my view. It is a good project for the community. It will make it easier for the mcgraths to raise kids in San Francisco which is hard enough. Third reason many of my neighbors are in support of it. I have taken a look at the plans, and, of course, i will be impacted by construction and the building itself. Thank you, maam, your time is up. Sorry the opposition got five minutes and the rest of us did not. That is not fair. Next speaker, please. I am pat. 2008 my partner and myself bought two rundown units on ord and fixed them up. One historic. We didnt need to make it huge. The last 10 years is the block to make huge hou
