Ensure that we look at wind. And another issue that ive heard is in how we designate rules for privately owned public spaces pudx. People have brought up to me, can we do there what we do at dolores park . Im not advocating we do that, but i think a Community Process with the neighborhood about how we manage that privately owned open space would be very important.
