City and i am grateful to speak to you briefly. I am speaking to you as a doctor and we were working with residents around issues they identified and the number two issue number one was crime. Number two was access to Healthy Foods. They couldnt buy Healthy Foods in the local stores. They were very upset about this. We were able to do little things. We brought in minimarkets from the farmers markets once in a while but we couldnt do much. We got stores to stop selling dixie cups of alcohol at 9 00 oclock in the morning for 25cents but we couldnt get them to sell Healthy Foods and this new proposition is a game changeer and as you mentioned supervisor mar there is evidence based. There is evidence in philadelphia and more importantly the evidence in bay view Hunters Point and i have seen the various groups working there with the city in that neighborhood. I know it can happen in the tenderloin and that in turn will set a precedent for the city and the state and the country. Thank you ve
Copy if youre interested and a look at the process. As the city invented these types of spaces we learn how they work so we have been working out as we go and this is the first attempt to codify the policies and i can also say this document is used by cities around the world as they implement their programs and borrowing our learning that we did in San Francisco. Im not going to get into the application process. Here is a few images of parklets. Here are one space parklets, threefour space parklets, a diagonal parklets and residential parklet. We talked about powell street which is a couple streets long and a temporary parklet and the way that we see the neighborhood and in closing these spaces and you see one and theyre cool and fun but as you see more around the city theyre a system and change peoples perceptions both within government and outside of it what the ark of public realm can be and i would like to close and there is a lot of staff that worked on this program and especially
Have concerned and impact and upkeep and should it close and this hearing will examine the issues and let Community Measures to share best practices. I would like to introduce paul johnson to give an overview of the program. If i could make a brief comment before that. I want to call you for calling the hearing. I am a huge fan of the Parklets Program and its not because my aide created it in the Planning Department. I think its part of a continuing trend in San Francisco and other cities to create more and more public space and parks are terrific but theyre only part of the picture. Having public spaces inside of our neighborhoods and really improving our public realm and you see for example in new york city some of the innovative work they have done and understand just around parklets but larger public spaces whether its the high line or anything else and it makes all the difference in the world to having a liveable and terrific urban setting, and i will just express my view that som
Area the Life Expectancy is much lower than someone in a desirable zip code so that is note they looked at there. I also looked on the computer six habits of highly successful people on the internet they looked at and people that are successful get up ahead of time, work time and may look at a newspaper or period on the cal or a civil help book and may do exercising and. And eat a healthy breakfast. People who are successful think about their health a lot. They get out there and think about being healthy and exercising. The reason for that the more healthy you are the more productivity you are equates to more money you can make and that makes sense. Thats important. I like the to talk about i think that allowing retailers the retailers that were talking about to participate in the Program Allows them to be responsible to communities and be accountable to the constituents. Thank you very much. Thank you. Im going to call a few more names. [calling speaker names] next speaker. Thank you
