Home this is not an option. Welcome to my world this is all i use these days. It is so easy. So quick amazing im 30 years old im 66 i look like adonis. You are mocking me. Not a terrible mock to receive wolff, were you here in the u. S. You mean january 1, 2016 when i arrived on these shores . Was it really january 1 one or two. You are in for another treat, i guess to see real democracy in action to have a constitution that is the envy of the world instead of 12 different parties in england, the republicans can team up with bernie. You know what it is like to win the popular vote exactly, because our forefathers realize two parties could not elect the president. Other people might have something to say in the uk, you can quite comfortably get a seat in Parliament Without the popular vote you are right, we have no written constitution it is hard to push back on that front. We have our own royal family, the kardashians. We promise not to gang up too much. Im enjoying this so far. I want
And barrons online editor jeff potter. The five of four remaining republican candidates strike in a different tone during last nights president ial debate that in most the bickering of writing and the review mirror. Instead focusing on policy and party unity. Ted cruz and marco rubio make their case as viable alternatives to Pat Peter Donald trump heading into tuesdays important primaries. Ive been watching the debate today talking about radical islamic terrorism, but i will tell you theres something going on that maybe you dont know about and a lot of other people dont know about. Theres tremendous hatred announced it was exactly what i said to andersen cooper. Here we go. Im not interested in being politically correct. Im interested in being correct. You believe you done anything to create a tone or violence to be encouraged . I hope not. I truly hope not. I will say this. With 25, 30,000 people. People come with tremendous passion and love for the country. When they say protest in s
But a process be established to come back to this, and work towards implementation. Thats the overvie katie and i are happy to respond to questions. I have no questions and i know we have from the mta tim and the staff that that is here and i dont know if they were prepared to respond to a number of different issues that mr. Rousseau and katie raised in the report but i would like to invite you up if you would like to make any remarks and we have a number Public Comment speakers as well. Good morning. I am with the mta. I wanted to clarify a few statements that were made. I think that the way theyre written is a little misleading, specifically the number of staff that is dedicated to bicycle projects and 37 people part of the traffic calming bicycle pedestrian, pedestrian safety, and school guard crossing program. The 7 million of the bike projects that some of the staff work on. Its not all 37. I wanted to clarify. I ask for that to be clarified. In addition we are worked on all of th
Funding and we talk about these projects but the opportunity is funding the network and like all networks the more et cetera canned it is the better it does for everything it tries to do i have 30 seconds to say that given that if we really get serious about funding the full build out, not one of the partial plans, but the full build out, the improvements will be much more dramatic and than the half percent were seeing now. We will get a much larger increase in all of the goods that bicycling provides us so i really hope that you start looking at the recommendations which was to come up with actual funding options. Thank you. Thank you. Im going to call a few more names. I am jenna lee and with the fran Bicycle Coalition as a community organizer. Many of our 10,000 plus members couldnt make it in today and we had letters send emails and i know you were copied on them as well. I want you to know there are many people in the city that would like to see the board pursue the full system bu
Bicyclists. First of all i wanted to thank you for your interest in this topic and the mta staff for the report on funding. I am struck by a couple of things but the biggest is we have been getting lucky for a long time; right . We have been spending less than 1 of the transportation budget on bicycling but were already at 4 of trips. That is like a dex in terms of what we spent and the benefits were getting. As was said its clear we dont need to debate the merits of this. If we want to improve the Transportation System bicycling helps. If we want healthier San Franciscos bicycling helps and if we want to reduce emissions and Greenhouse Gas emissions biking helps. There is a whole host of things it helps. The thing i wanted to draw more attention to is the equity piece. We often talk about funding and we talk about these projects but the opportunity is funding the network and like all networks the more et cetera canned it is the better it does for everything it tries to do i have 30 se
