Space. And i also questioned medical offices. Many medical offices are very small and they are within buildings that have a lot of offices there. How would you handle that . Would you make the whole building do it or each individual owner of a medical office have to provide their own parking space . The requirements are for new projects. So for example, when there is a new restaurant, the class 1 requirement is for every 7500squarefeet of restaurant, there will be class 1 bicycle parking. If its less than 7500, then class 1 wont be required. But class 2 will be in the public rightofway, so they dont have to use their own space for that. The same with other uses. If the space that is provided does not reach of the minimum amount ofsquarefootage that will trigger bicycle parking, they wont have to provide class 1. And existing facilities would not have to comply with this . Existing facilities do not have to do that unless they are doing any update. The 20 increase . Yes. And finally, yo
It sustains me and puts food on my table. During my years on polk street i believe we have revitalized polk street and in addition, i have been a resident of the neighborhood for 25 years. We also enjoy the support from our landlord mercy housing and the upstairs residential neighbors directly upstairs from our facility. I meet with the building staff steven and henry onsite to keep a good communication line open. I joined lower polk neighbors in 2005 and i am an active member. We do have letters of support from them as well. During my outreach progress, and out of respect to the neighbors from across the street that were here at the last hearing we have reevaluated our background music and sound mitigation. With communication and input from the planning staff we have done noise mitigation to stop the issues of noise. Again we have support from our local neighborhood groups and i urge to you to help clarify my cu and allow my business and my eight employees to continue to serve the com
And as you heard there are approximately only 3,000 sidewalk racks currently in existence. These people obviously need a safe and convenient place to park their bikes. So i look forward to the discussion. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. Tim colin on behalf of the Housing Action coalition. We are very pleased to support this. You should know a senior staff person on the Bicycle Coalition joined our board, and the Bicycle Coalition is regularly attendance when review and analyze and discuss projects. The view of increasing bicycles is a strong part of what we look at when we see projects. When i have noticed over the years that i have been there, is how many more people in our community are using bikes as they preferred way to get around . And how much more support has developed in our Community Around this . This is a sensible, logical advance in urban policy and deserves your support. We strongly endorse where this is going. Thank you. Any additional Public Comment on this it
They have been doing that since, i guess, those requirements were in place in the late 1990s or early 2000. So we havent made any changes and that is why i did not address that. Thank you, commissioner moore. I am very interested and very supportive of this particular legislation. What i would like to ask and perhaps you are already doing it, i see diagrams of bike racks, which reflect more of the traditional approach to bike racks and a significant amount of theft, which is happening. I hope sfmta and yourself and the Bicycle Coalition will strongly investigate which types of bike racks and which types of locks provide the largest security . I just recently read an article where the Police Department themselves tried to recommend to bicyclists what to do. Its a question of staying in the dialogue of technology, new and improved bike racks, including the fact that people are starting to ride slightly more expensive bicycles than just the 10 rotterdamtype bicycle. With that, because it
Commercial industrial, when they go through major renovation or any new construction of commercial industry and broke it down, restaurants, medical offices, et cetera. That is what we did, but requirements we kept the same at this point. So the same table, same requirements. They have been doing that since, i guess, those requirements were in place in the late 1990s or early 2000. So we havent made any changes and that is why i did not address that.
