Spent months in planning to make sure this was a successful experience for the public and both the Committee Members and i think greg moore from the conservancy says sometimes you need to go slow to go fast, and we took the time we needed to prepare and be thoughtful and focused about the issues we wanted to put in front of the Committee Members and i think that has paid off so im going to take you through today a little bit of the context within which we did our work and the process and then ou...

Bottom is a renting and a photo of the finished project. This is an open space on a parcel on 22nd street and owned by sfmta and adopted by Community Members who lead the effort over 18 months to create the play area. We are thrilled to be part of it.

I think a great complement to the existing useds at esprit park and briefly just looking at the experience from the park roughly in the...

This is going to be built on public space and unimproved dead end street by the overpass and were going to pay to build it and maintain it in perpetuity and it will be open to the public and i want to clarify its not a standard thing for new developments to. Do we feel its above and beyond but we feel its an absolutely ideal thing for us to be doing. We saw an opportunity to create something in the space and listened to the community a...

Reiterate or under score that dawn did mention. First the staff. I would agree with dawn having participated in a number of these process and ones that had the passion and commitment to parks and open space that could potentially be therefore very contentious and this was not for a number of reasons. The first of which in my mind was the incredible Staff Support and analysis that went into preparation that dawn referenced so again thank you to dawn and the entire team, and then secondly the mast...
