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.

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

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
