Mark gruberg followed by [speaker not understood] zamud. Mr. Gruberg. Again, to continue and conclude along the lines i was speaking of before, despite the fact that the cpuc has a rule making proceeding going on, you still have jurisdiction over people who are providing illegal services in San Francisco that are, you know, the equivalent of taxi services. If you didnt have that jurisdiction, you couldnt stop somebody in their private car who was picking up on the street either. So, all the driv...

Thank you thank you. My name is ac carter and im here on behalf of friends of mine who own and operator ak subs in the south of market area. Basically the owners came to me, me being in entertainment field in los angeles and San Francisco. I told them, you know, i think the whole folsom is going away in the 90s and people staying up late. I know there was opposition to that. Piano bars, speak ezs and spoken word [speaker not understood] would greatly benefit. I do propose that we can at least ex...

Staff, particularly on the bicycle strategy where on the last page we were asked if we wanted to ask staff to focus on hot spots or corridors. And we dont obviously cant stay with us. Discuss it today, but i wonder if we need to come back and retouch on that. It occurred to me on this weekend when i was riding that we have a bike strategy, we have a pedestrian strategy, but we dont really have a corridor strategy yet, which i know will evolve out of those two strategies. But, again, i worry that...

They get lousy conditions and they have to hire me and spend a bunch of money or somebody to deal with that and maybe they are going to pay the rent for 6 months and then what happens . Now they are going into the business weekend and what do they do . They start taking chances and book parties that they should not take and bring in promoters and then the police have a problem. You know, in one sense, it is not good to spoon feed them, but in another sense, you got to help these people. Because ...

The western soma plan. So i think performing arts and this limited accessory use is important, because in order for very Small Businesses to succeed, we need to give them the tools to succeed. So please look at that. The other thing that i heard was this is an historic opportunity to exclude housing in a principally permitted entertainment district. I know this is a very difficult decision, but its a very important one, because i have watched good clubs and bars closed over the last 30 years due...

I have two things actually. First of all, i want to bring up at our policy and governance meeting on friday we had a good presentation from enforcement commander regarding muni safety date a. It was impressive the level of data they have and how theyre able to use it to try and increase safety on the buses.
