Gate park initiatives in the Strategic Plan and i would say to you from my last 10 years in this position that there is probably no more robust conversation than there is on any issue around Golden Gate Park. I think that, frankly, i think that we have more work to do getting other neighborhood groups and folks from other parks engaged in, you know, sort of park policy and park advocacy conversations and theres a lot around Golden Gate Park so im not sure that were lacking in that regard, superv...

Actually starting to see the fruit of that strategy long before there was this data. President buell commissioner harrison. Commissioner harrison ornamental beds, was it the absence or they were not kept well . A park is never punished for a feature that the park doesnt contain. Its only what is at the park that is not maintained. You talk about ornamental bed, what is that . Its a piece of landscape that has planting. Its not necessarily a box, but it could be. If you look in a different neighb...

Side. On the east side of the south lake, which is a large lake there, so when i look at that, and i see equity, i thought why would seniors lose out on that much more funding for equity of seniors . That is not of the sites noted on different calendars of equity that placed out there, i thought it would be more in trails, roadways when i brought in the ada accessible to the south lake and the ada accessible to the north lake. Where now theyre doing work on the landing dock. Supportive lines tha...

Little younger, but i seen it and been through it. I had to go through it to get to it. People of color, i got to go through more than most of you all. Im no preacher, no teacher, but i know god wouldnt lead me, id be gone. I aint got no money, no home. All i got is morale, i got a moral obligation. My family is across the bay. My daughters, theyre probably feeling good, they have kids and they have kids. But papa still here in the city by the bay, trying to get these people to hear what i got t...

What do you think, mr. Ginsburg. There were several points wrapped in there. You were talking about Golden Gate Park, and the Golden Gate Park master plan is a living, breathing document. It actually sits on my desk. There are a number of Golden Gate Park initiatives in the Strategic Plan and i would say to you from my last 10 years in this position that there is probably no more robust conversation than there is on any issue around Golden Gate Park. I think that, frankly, i think that we have m...

Those meetings, that we are not represented, so i think when we talk about development in the excelsior, we really want Genuine Development for the people already living there, and that its not enough to open the door, i think, and maybe we can talk about it later on, but i really feel we have to step outside the door and reach for the community. Again, i saw a slide that said not many of our Community Members shop in the mission area. I dont think youve been in our on our block around 3 00 p. M...

President buell commissioner harrison. Commissioner harrison ornamental beds, was it the absence or they were not kept well . A park is never punished for a feature that the park doesnt contain. Its only what is at the park that is not maintained. You talk about ornamental bed, what is that . Its a piece of landscape that has planting. Its not necessarily a box, but it could be. If you look in a different neighborhood playground, center beds might be considered around port smith for example, the...

That placed out there, i thought it would be more in trails, roadways when i brought in the ada accessible to the south lake and the ada accessible to the north lake. Where now theyre doing work on the landing dock. Supportive lines that dont get in the way of boats. So equities, i dont know what the total cost would be, but if there is a total cost for seniors and people who are of such age that the park is going to try to give up equity and noted that you have seniors you dont have, maybe you ...

13 schools in our neighborhood, right . So next thing i want to point out is that ive come to a few of the meetings and what i also see that a lot of these people that i grew up with are not at those meetings, that we are not represented, so i think when we talk about development in the excelsior, we really want Genuine Development for the people already living there, and that its not enough to open the door, i think, and maybe we can talk about it later on, but i really feel we have to step out...

Informed, i say the right things, maybe at the wrong time, and it takes all the energy out of you going against the grain. You may Say Something that is real good, but i mess up the whole script. Ive been doing that for years. And its hard because i got passion. You know, im 62, im just like all the rest of you, i look a little younger, but i seen it and been through it. I had to go through it to get to it. People of color, i got to go through more than most of you all. Im no preacher, no teache...
