there and lastly, on the weekends, dolores park is so crowded. so i would urge you to reconsider this and i would like to say that the notice on this was not good and when i talked to people about this about a year-ago, when this first came up and they said what are you talking about? the notice was posted on a piece of paper on a chain link fence setback from the muni stop. that was the only notice. so please reconsider. >> thank you. [ reading speakers' names ] >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon my name is mackalia cassidy, a good irish lass and i'm taking the subject back to the no. 3. i would like to ditto the comments already made. there are steep hills and walking up the hills at night by myself, i catch the no. 3 to get downtown for an early morning meeting and i routinely don't get home until 8:00 or 9:00 at night. point 1, time of day, hills. secondly, i spoke with muni people several years ago and described my route and they said oh, muni works better east and west. it doesn't go so well north and south. and that is very true. so the

you probably heard of liberty hill near dolores park. i have been there all my life and suddenly it's very popular. i understand that muni wants to discontinue the stop that we use for years on the liberty street, which is a very blind intersection there and no one expects to see a streetcar going through. so it's very dangerous. several years ago i believe a truck driver was killed; that is what i heard. his truck was there on the tracks for hours, because he wasn't seen and that was 21st street, half-block above us. that is dangerous, but not nearly as blind as our section. and ours is really covered with houses and bushes and fences on each side. so if a stranger comes along in a car or walking, they can't see what is coming, and all of a sudden a streetcar appears. so it's extremely dangerous. and they want to stop that stop. now is it worth it to sacrifice one and a half minutes at the most to let the passengers board or unboard just to save that 1.5 minutes? it's not worth it. we need it. i am very crippled and a lot of people on m

we have hills on all sides of us and if you have been to dolores park, you know that we're up a steep hill, on church street there are very steep hills until you get to 21st street. that is really bad. so some day, something else is going to happen, and i don't anticipate that people would like that. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> next speaker, please. [ reading speakers' names ] >> miss hale. >> i'm a former resident of liberty street, so i know what she means. but now i live in the outer richmond and the outer richmond has become a problem for those of us who have difficulty climbing hills. since tep's phase 1 removed the 38 ocean beach, and you have heard today about groceries and carrying grocery bags, and it's same problem. if you have to transfer on geary, as you do now, it's because -- and you are carrying groceries -- you should watch people drop their grocery bags and go running after their apples and oranges. it's not much fun. i think that tep has not delivered as well on its promises. now we're looking at fulton and people are excited about fulton. i

the bakery, pizza, and dolores park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. >> skylight market has been here since 1940. it's been in the family since 1964. his father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. at that point sam revamped the market. he installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. he created community through food. so, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where it's comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. and we really feel that we wouldn't exist if it weren't for all three of those components who really support each other. and that's kind of what we work towards every day. >> valley creamery was opened in 2006. the two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sam's wife, suppli

. >> what neighborhood are you in >> dolores park. >> you will hit the lake. if are in the dolores, you are in pretty good shape. >> what is your expectation of what your building is going to be like after a major earthquake? >> i am really not sure. that's my concern. >> i see. this gentlemen is correct. his concern is his building. you have to look at it block by block. you can see that the edges of the fill area vary block by block. let me point out in cole valley, there was an old pond and an amusement park with a trolley. that pond was filled in, that's a potential liquify site. so we have to look at the soil. >> there are area that is are fascinating. westportal, there was a creek that flowed all the way down to pig lake. i think that's what the spanish called it. there was a deep ravine. they filled it in with the tunnel muck and they filled in the ravine and built houses. the other area is really interesting, down 18th street. there was a creek coming from eureka. there is a street called pond. it's not a coincidence. >> part of what we're going too tr

park. 800 thousand for the playground and for the beach los angeles. supervisors i would note if you appropriate these funds today it would be strictly up to the department of recs to make the allocations. with regard to the dispositions being requested for the department manager 1 position and each in fiscal year 13-146789 for the additional annual salary $238,000 for both positions. the total on going salary and benefit cost is approximately $321,000. all the positions would be taken from bond funds and they current have eight project managers and 110 projects to manage which rpd indicates is not sufficient. however, as of our report, rpd does not provide enough information, existing staff assignments, comparison with other bond projects, staffing and the need for the requested two new positions to meet this work load. the bottom line is these position had not been justified. we are not negative on the positions but anytime the department requests positions we need the information to report to you to determine whether or not that has been justified.

i walk by this building all the time on the way to dolores park. i wonder what is going to be happening here and glad to see it's not turning into a massive home like the church. i think it's a great project and the fact that you can restore it as resource and upgrade it with seismic issues is great. i move to approve with conditions. >> second. >> commissioner antonini? >> it looks like you are doing modifications to make it seismically sound. it looks very nice when it's finished. >> the exterior dome is one of the trust from san francisco. that, nobody can touch it. nobody would alter that. within that dome there is another suspended ceiling, part of that is to recreate the top unit. that has been substantially dealt with the preservation folks. it's with some minor modifications. >> it looks beautiful when it's completed. >> thank you very much. >> commissioner sugaya? >> to staff, mitigation measure mct 1b on the on-site interpretive display. since this is going to be a series of private residences. where did staff think this was going to be d

projects coming up in the city like the renovation of dolores park, which is a once in 50 years opportunity to define what the park is and what changes we want to make to it. that will be a very significant projects. [inaudible] when was the last time it rained? there are puddles. we elect our supervisors by district, and it is very important to pay attention to the district, to be engaged in projects in the district, but we also represent the whole city. any supervisor that just focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i'd make sure i am working both on the citywide issues and on district issues. >> for those of us on the board, i know many of us have young ben was in the city. i know a ton of my friends have left the city. one thing that the strike me as we have a ton of data, but it is a different places. this year, we will call for those constituents to come together to understand the issue better and, going forward, enacting policies to extend that period . of all the places i have been, this is my favorite. i am a born and

park on the other is the right-of-way. the right-of-way in this case is a walled off area where there is not enough room for pedestrians. >> scott wickey. i'm speaking to address the proposal for the change for the 35 eureka bus line on diamond street. of course you heard a lot of public comment today about elimination of routes, and for example, in the 3. the proposed change for the 35 eureka and in my neighborhood actually doubled up service. there is nothing efficient by taking two buses down one street. we heard about the two buckets that the tep is trying to serve, one of them is time efficiency. again, the proposed projected that we have here, there is nothing efficient by taking a bus and putting it into the transportation mess that has now become glen park village. sort of the pride of 35 right now it's one of the most time efficient muni services that is on the route and we're taking that efficiency and backtracking. the second thing that the tep is trying to do is increase service hours for these routes. again by

[cheering and applauding] ~ grump py >> that's because this parks department is like the little engine that could. over the years city hall has cut and cut and cut from the budget of this department and the department keeps finding new ways to move our park system forward. and now the voters, you've done your job. it is now our turn to do our job and make sure that we're investing in the maintenance of our parks, so that we have enough gardeners and park patrol officers and rec directors and making sure we're doing our part of the job. and, so, i look forward to working with s

so, if we're selling beanies, we might want to go to like dolores park where everyone is wearing beanies even if it's 90 degrees out. if it's a briefcase we're going to go down to the financial district. it just depends what we're showcasing and we do use social media, facebook, twitter to say where we're going to be that day. >> for me my product -- oh. my product doesn't change as much as far as target goes. i just try to stick to events that encompass my target market or in the rare case that i could be in the neighborhood doing a collaboration or street party somewhere where i know my demographic will be shopping. and as well as twitter, facebook, all of the social outlets. >> that's great, thanks. >> i'd just like to say i like the fact that you collaborate with brick and mortar and i agree with what commissioner dwight says. it's like a mall. when you get a whole bunch, it does create excitement. and this is a new industry, okay. and you guys are at the forefront of this new industry, and san francisco is known for being creative in new industries. i want to thank christian here fo
