Competitions. Playing the piano and witnessing the launch of a space rocket shows that this is all done by the hands of graduates they work in a wide variety of industries talizers, metalorganic frame structures in the competition field. This is a platform that has brought together many projects that are aimed at ensuring that every person in our country, regardless of where he lives in what family he grew up in, can realize his potential, his talents, his abilities. An eyewitness to the unique event as part of the delegation from roscosmos and the russia land of opportunities platform was daria arsenyeva , twotime winner of the platform project of the National Technological olympiad junior unforgettable emotions, indescribable sensations.

Encourage everyone to keep fighting for these protected bike lanes because i know we can. Thank you. Chairman peskin Public Comment is closed. Commissioner ronen. Supervisor ronen yes. I want to thank everyone who came out. It was very eyeopening. Not that we dont know what is going on. But to hear that bikers are using the red lanes for the buses as a safer alternative to what was supposed to be the bike corridor is just insane. And the crazy thing about it is it makes perfect sense. Thats how dangerous valencia has become. I have asked the mta several times to increase enforcement of double parking on valencia. I know supervisor sheehy has done the same. I see dillon in the audience. I think we need to have that meeting again because while we will continue to prioritize and fight for protected bike lanes, thats going to take some time. I share the urgency of all the public speakers today. Im very fearful that someone is going to get severely injured or killed if we just wait to get t
Sir. I have just one mr. Speaker card. Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to listen to us. My name is paul valdez and im a 26year San Francisco resident. Im a volunteer for the bicycle coalition, a former member of the bay area families for safe streets advocacy group. Bottom line, im here to show my support in approving the additional funds that create protected bike lanes from market to mission.

There are many situations i was riding down valencia and was forced into oncoming traffic because drivers from Companies Like uber and lift were parked in the bike lanes for several blocks. An uber driver swerved in front of me to pick up passengers and compromised my safety and the safety of others. To take
Clear that it is cheaper and better for citizens of San Francisco to have safe cycling. Thats just a nobrainer. Motorized vehicles and pedestrians and bikes have no business being in the same place. We have to have bike boulevards, pedestrian areas in this city. I ride valencia five to six times a week. I have to say it has been fab seeing so many fabulous seeing so many new people and the growth of bicycles. But it is horrendous with what has happened with cars on valencia. There are countless cars and trucks double parking as everyone has said. You need to weave in and out. You have no choice. These are just accidents like mine waiting to happen. I think theres a toxic mix in San Francisco today. You have a bunch of new people who have very fast cars and very fancy cars and like to go very fast. And then you have a bunch of new cyclists. [bell]. Public and they are all together and thats causing enormous problems. So, i think theres no question in my mind that we have to make things
