Fitbits and wearable technology. What if that was done for Emergency Medical Services and they can place that on a patient and get vital signs. Just think of the innovation that could happen and you would snowy all of your patients are track their current vital signs and send them to hospitals and track them there and make sure theyre handed off and theres continuity of care and you are able to adjust. Tonight at 8 00 eastern on the communicators on cspan2. Become tv continues, George Michael reports on speculations of extraterrestrial life and ufo sightings. Okay. Good evening.

It would be at an intermediate level between the two. Option number three is the most recent option that is placed on the table. And it looks a lot like option number one in that our sidewalks would stay the same width, our bike lanes would look pretty much the same, you know, some sheared, some dedicated. Our bus platforms will get wider. But whats different about option three is that the transportation lines that currently runon Mission Street like the 14 mission as an example as well as golden gate transit, all of those transportation lines would be moved over to Market Street so that Market Street would become the transportation highway sort of speak. And then what would happen on Mission Street is that because we would no longer have those bus lines on mission, then there would be the opportunity to create a dedicated bicycle lane known as the cycle track on Mission Street. This project is about to go under the Environmental Review process for the next two years. After that its go
Todays agenda but within the jurisdiction. And each speaker is limited to three minutes. Item 11, information item correspondence and item 12. Item 13 adjourned. Well take Public Comment and the first individual is john allic pole. Thank you. Yes, my name is john and im the vice chair of the Pedestrian Safety advisory committee. On it i hold the seat for senior and disability organizations. I report to you that i was involved in a city event regarding the better Market Streets that occurred on wednesday the 17th. And at this event i posed a question which i seek your advice when there was a form to ask me and all participants of what ideas we had on the redevelopment of Market Street, is this within the parameters of the law or common sense for there to be accessible pedestrian signals stationed on the island for public transport to cross over from the island or the median to the curve of the sidewalk . Would that affect anyone else or impair anyone elses mobility . Sense that was a qu
Concerns about the transit effecting this project is that its really endangers those and the handicap and those who are ill because theyll have to walk longer distances to get public transportation. This is in effect with the bus line which runs which no longer runs near park boulevard. People either have to walk a block to catch the one california or the [inaudible] line. And this is not the only bus line thats effected. It affects other bus lines. It was knocked down which ran directly to saint lukes homes. And this is brought to mta constantly and brought to the attention of those who formulate the effectiveness project, but theyve had a blind eye to this. Now, they state that, okay, they can take power transit. Wouldnt this would be absorb to take it one block to catch a bus . This is a twisted thinking that went into this project. And the idea of it was they were going to gage it by supply and demand. Those were less rider ship those with less ridership, they would be either alter
Are currently under consideration. And all three options for Market Street is improvements to the boarding platform morning Market Street both to make sure that the bus platforms are wide enough. Eight feet wide is what we need in order for a list to deploy the bus, but what we also need in the way of transportation platforms on Market Street is to have more of the elevated platforms so that those historic stops can be served. So those features are included in all three options of the better Market Street plan. I wanted to just briefly summarize the options and invite you to a work shop thats taking place tomorrow so you can provide your commentary. Option one is similar to what we see now when we look at Market Street with the addition of those boarding platforms and the the private automobile restrictions on Market Street, although taxis and peri transit vehicles and vehicles that have plaqueers that are discharging pedestrian to the curb set on Market Street, all of those vehicles w
