Design decisions around the muni bus shelters, particularly, you know, given how narrow some of the walkways, some of the sidewalks are . Yeah, i believe thats the case where we did a sort of blanket general plan referral. Im not exactly sure actually. [inaudible]. Is that the review we did for yes, gail for the mta thev planning did both a ceqa approval for the replacement shelters and for the new locations. ~ okay. I guess my question for mr. Barrett goes beyond that. I mean, it would seem yeah, id like to understand because again, i just saw on some of the photos we saw earlier, its in some situations its very quite dramatic where literally people have to walk single file to get past these bus shelters because theyre so wide. Advertising is a source of revenue for muni. These are complicated policy questions, but it would seem to me in that kind of situation the Planning Department should be involved in terms of ensuring that the better streets plan is being taken into account. And
The bathroom has not been approved by the owner of the building as specifically sets out in the regulations in the law. The bathroom is not 200 from where the truck is. In fact, its about a block and a half. You have to go half a block across the street and north half a block and up the stairs and back in the mezzanine and i viewed it today and i can tell you its quite a ways. And there is no handicap path of travel to the bathroom, which is required. No way can the customers use it or the employees use it. No. 2 is parking. Its taking the last two spaces in this whole large two and a half block area of downtown. No parking. We need parking for customers. We dont need parking for coffee. No. 3 the side door, when you open the side door it will take 60 of the sidewalk. Its right in front of a restaurant. When the restaurant puts out their tables it takes up 40 of the table, 60 and 40 last time i checked was 100. Where are the pedestrians in its a problem. We have an illegal bathroom and
Decision that you have in front of you tonight. Its very tough. We have heard a lot of opinions, a lot of anecdotal information and a lot of what ifs, but i want to share in information from a recent article from early january. The Golden Gate Restaurant Association that reported that when food trucks pull up in front of restaurants they have been reporting a 3040 loss in business. I wonder how many of the people who are for food trucks would like to see a 3040 loss of their business from something that pulls up in front of their office, their retail store . And then pulls away . I think the 300 radius and like food items was put in place to try to protect those businesss and push the food carts in areas that are food desert wheres they need to create activity and more opportunities for neighborhoods that are underserved. So thinking about the loss of business that could affect these restaurants and cafes in the financial district, thank you is there any further Public Comment . If not
From william sandavere professional manager of clear water [speaker not understood] and study related to the proposed street encroachment at 54 peralta. We as neighbors need the assurance that this development is not going to have a negative effect on the flow of rainwater that often races down the steep roadway in the winter rain. The analysis presented by the developers has been has been termed inadequate by mr. Vandavere as a representative of clear water hydrology and we feel it would be prudent for them to follow the amended guidelines set by him to try and determine a plan that would do the least harm before moving forward on this project. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. My name is carl [speaker not understood]. I live at 8 peralta, same block. Id like to read a short thing here. I believe no one should have a right to make any park, that any park of the already steep sidewalk steeper. Some of our residents would not be able to utilize an even steeper sidewalk. Within this on
