i rode the ecar, which was a streetcar the size of the cable care. i m a native and i ride the no. 3. i ride the no. 3 from one terminus to the other terminus. from walnut and california to bart or muni. and the california street doesn t do that. it doesn t stop at a connection. you have to walk a couple of blocks. and during the winter, during rain, and all of that kind weather, but i have also rode the cable car when it went all the way to presidio, the california cable car. thank you thank you sir.

population, a disabled population, that i have heard from and spent countless community meetings already on this topic since this idea was floated about last year. and i think as important for me, many students and staff that are part of the schools that are in that surrounding area, there are nine schools in that very close vicinity within the three jacks and they heavily dependent upon that line to serve the schools and educate our children. several of the schools i know have written letters to you, to the mta board as i have about the elimination of the 3 jacks line. and i hope you consider that as part of your deliberations. i will tell you that my office has been engaged and i will commit to continue to engage and outreach with the neighborhoods of district 2 and i am offering here to help engage in the community as i have done so far. i know sfmta staff has done it to some degree, but as proposeded today with elimination of the 3 jacks line, the neighborhoods have not b
supervisor of the board of supervisors has commented. you are hearing a lot of discontent. in the larger context, think of this which means and ask if there is any ballot issue regarding funding for muni as has been proposed by the bias group that composed the mayor s transportation task force? the constituencies that are most transit dependent are not represented on that. that group is proposing ballot funding. you are incurring a reservoir of distrust and ill-will by going ahead with eliminating stops. muni hasn t looked at the costs of when i have to hustle to get another block, if i get injured by a car, if i fall, what is that cost? there has only been following the dictates of others who are able-bodied. thank you. next speaker.

there are 2500 students and 2,000 workers who rely on 3 jackson and i want to close just by saying for example, there is an abigail gould, who commutes from the east bay via bart, transfers to the 3 jackson five days a week. there is also a patricia monticello thank you. [ reading speakers names ] good afternoon. good afternoon. i m barbara bocce. if the no. 3 jackson is eliminated it will have a major impact on our community. when we heard about it, we said what do we do? the muni said take a cross-town bus and then transfer. well, that is fine, but it s going to increase the average riding time by over 50% and it makes it a little unreliable getting to bart or getting to your job on time and people mentioned this is a very hilly area. no count was taken of the topography. so if you have elderly and disabled people and young students, can they walk a quarter of a mile to these bus stops? it will be very difficult, especially when it s raining and windy and it s not re
very simple put there are elements of the transit effectiveness project that need to be reevaluated before implementation. there are two elements that many believe are flawed. getting from point a to point b is the supposed time savings for the individual transit rider or for the muni vehicle? at appears that the proposal are for the vehicle to get to point a to point b at the sacrifice of the passenger to get from starting point a to their final destination point b. elimination of stops. this means that the individual rider will have to walk a greater destination and the time it takes to walk from the discontinued stop this does not help the individual getting from point a to point b and this certainly hinders the elderly, the disabled and parents with small children by eliminating stops. one of the best features of muni it has convenient stops for its ridership, but yet, that seems to be in jeopardy. please note it will still take the same amount of time for a passenger t
