Public comment testimony that are not solid facts. This body transitions. Supervisor yee will no longer be the supervisor. Things get lost. I want to go on the record early. I believe avalon bay will create a lot of problems for us, those of us who have relationships in labor. Many times our labor partners have come raising concerns that they havent hired union labor to do the job. Im talking something that is years down the line. But i just think that that funding that this is just not the right direction we need to go in and we need to reevaluate. Supervisor yee did a great job getting city college free. And now we have all these people that want to go there. We need to be mindful and respectful of the people who have been living around the college for generations. And weve heard from our citizens advisory commission, a policy body used to advise us. They are against it. I dont know anybody in support of this other than the Police Department Planning Department. Im going to be voting
Cohen. Supervisor cohen thank you. I walked in today to support this. Im thinking im going to be voting no on this. I am uncomfortable on many fronts. I think we need more parking. I think we need to provide more infrastructure for the college. I think there needs to be more Due Diligence. I think its curious we dont have any stakeholders to talk about this from city college. I personally have experience with avalon bay, the very difficult development company. We will have problems with them. This is just like the beginning, yes. Its a study. But thats how things start.

And here we find that the consultants and the city consistently point to the ineffective existing Residential Permit Parking Program as a swlugs to parking demand. Solution to parking demand. One of the big problems with that program is it doesnt work which is one reason the city has been attempting to revise it the past few years. The other big problem with it is that it puts the entire burden of cost on existing residents. The coast for the permits and the time to collect signatures. The program should be borne by the Developers Just as the shuttle to operate during the city college and balboa park station should be included. Thank you. Chair peskin next speaker. Public steve park. The balboa reservoir project will bring a traffic bomb the likes of which the neighborhood has never seen before. It is crucial that this be managed correctly.

Be necessary before an actionable plan is put together. And the document includes some Lessons Learned on how to collect that data in the future. Just a couple of examples of those 45 recommendations include Student Transit pass similar to what sf state passed last year. Shared parking project on the balboa reservoir for student parking as well as residents, as well as senior ride matching programs and other Services Like Escort Services to serve the neighborhoods in city college itself. And the final chapter gets to one of the communitys most clear concerns and that is the first mile access along ocean avenue. And their recommendations about improving pedestrian and Bicycle Safety on ocean avenue. And so, ultimately, this is the start of an ongoing conversation and there are many public venues to continue that conversation.
