Transparent process to discuss the plans of Golden Gate Park and specifically john f. Kennedy drive because its not just for people who manage parks, its actually about people who use the parks. And so i would love to have sort of a process to engage all park neighbors, stakeholders and moving forward and what that process might look like and are they willing to do that . 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 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, supervisor. You know, the the road closures, you know, traffic is an issue in the park. There are a lot of cars, there have been some pretty serious Pedestrian Safety issues in the park and its something that we all need to consider seriously and thats also not really we are a partner in that conversation because its in our park but we work closely with m. T. A. On that. The sunday street closure is codified, this board has, you know, passed that legislation and its been around for seven decades. Healthy saturdays, which is the partial threequarter of a mile street closure on saturdays has been around for well over a decade when that legislation was developed and there was a lot of talk and contemplation about Disability Access and senior access. Obviously, were always open to suggestions to improve that. With respect to the future of road closures in the park, obviously, that would be a community very much of a Community Conversation but one thing that is overlooked is that there have been about m. T. A. Led for well over a year about 30 Different Community meetings about Pedestrian Safety and traffic calming measures in the park and actually healthy saturday and the road closure thing was one of the issues that appeared to be people seeming to be most supportive of. They have that data. But, anyway, that is that piece is an ongoing conversation. And where upon to rangers, we would love your help, quite frankly. We have talked to Numerous Police chiefs, chief scott has committed to work on this. We think that rangers should be rangers can listen to ssfpd radio but they cannot talk which in our mind is a health and safety issue and theres Technology IssuesTechnology Challenges associated with this. But p. D. Is aware of it, but thank you for recognizing it. We very much want our rangers to communicate with sfpd and its a partnership with respect to keeping our parks safe. Supervisor fewer no, i agree. When we look at Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Park is not in isolation and it borders lincoln way and also borders fulton and we are seeing much more traffic on to fulton and were also seeing pedestrian accidents on fulton too. And we have an issue of people accessing the park, and crossing fulton. And so were also trying to alleviate the traffic but the city keeps continuing the way that its building were going to expect, all expect, much more traffic. I think that this is the lack of planning, quite frankly, in our city, is that we would build, build, build, build, but when it starts to really impact the health and safety of people and pedestrians and seniors and specifically and families trying to get to the park, then i dont know that the road closures in golGolden Gate Park should be ia separate conversation than what happens on the streets that border Golden Gate Park because thats also part of how the people access the park. I think that m. T. A. Agrees with you. Supervisor fewer and i wanted to mention that i understand that you have the golden gate master plan and would you suggest having a hearing on the Golden Gate Park master plan so that we can flush that out or how do you suggest that we actually address that this living and breathing document . I mean, ill let you decide what hearings you want to call, supervisor. Golden gate master plan is a document that was approved by the Planning Commission and this board. We use it, and we rely on it and it guides all of our management and policy principles with respect to the park. Im happy to share it with you. Supervisor fewer when is the last time that we had an update on that . I do not know. Supervisor fewer does anyone on the board remember the last time that we had an update on the golden gate master plan . Not that. The golden gate master plan was a document that was ratified close to around 2000, i think, maybe late 1990s. indiscernible it was approved in 1998. So i was close. And there is yeah, its a wonderful its an awesome awesome document. Supervisor fewer yeah, i imagine that it is. And i also want to say and then i will not say anything more about this, but i just wanted to mention that 70 of Golden Gate Park is under my jurisdiction so, of course, i have special interest in it and the stakeholders in there and then i just want to say that i think that our parks in San Francisco are one of our greatest assets in a city that is getting more and more dense, the need for open space and accessibility to open space becomes even more imperative. And i think that we have lovely parks and i think that we in the Richmond District have been blessed that actually we have Golden Gate Park in our backyard, actually, 365 days a year. And i want to thank you and your staff for all of the work that you have done on this and to beautify our city through your parks and also that the maintenance of them, but also i feel that as we build out constantly looking at opportunities to build in open space around more densely packed areas i think that commitment to our city is going to make San Francisco a much more lovable city. Thank you. Supervisor kim president breed. Supervisor breed thank you, thank you, supervisor fewer, for your questions and your comments. Very helpful, which helps me to reduce my line of questioning as well. Let me just start by saying that im really fortunate in district 5 that we have really i think some of the most beautiful parks anywhere in the city, alamo square park and the work with the bathroom and the benches and how its looking and how so many people are enjoying it, it is just really an incredible asset here in the city and we have panhandle playground that is going to be renovated and the pathways are looking great and theres still, of course, more work the court was redone and the Basketball Court and i see people there all the time and we did the Tennis Courts in co valley and were undergoing renovation at the hayward playground and thats going to be really be amazing. When i think about what is the parks used to look like in my neighborhood when i was growing up, they werent so bad, but just compared to what they look like now, im excited. And im happy about what exists now. And im also happy about what exists in the future and i also realize that we continue to have challenges with maintenance, we continue to have challenges with security and some of those other issues that we get regular emails from our constituents about because whats great about the emails that we get from people who are part of the community is that it shows that they care. They care about keeping our parks safe and they care about keeping our parks beautiful and so as soon as we received those, of course, we jump into action to try to address many of the issues that we can address as it relates to our parks and so im really optimistic about the future and what happens throughout our city and also in other areas outside of my district, and a huge fan of Golden Gate Park and that was like the best field trip ever when you were a kid to be able to slide down the slide and just the things that were able to do all over the city, to go to a whole other neighborhood and to experience a whole new world with the parks, kimbo was redone which im excited about, and hayward and the list goes on and so im really fortunate and it doesnt mean they want to basically be content with what exists. We want to always improve on work that we know you and i talked about the needs of albert lake and this is the entry way of Golden Gate Park and we invested money into doing a study at lincoln and ninth so that we can look at making that entryway to Golden Gate Park which is heavily used by so many folks all over the city and we want to make that definitely more safe and we also want to make it a nice entryway and look at signage and ways in which we could improve the experience and the ease of getting around in Golden Gate Park. So thats a whole other conversation. But ultimately, i think that just dialing it down a little bit, the bigger vision of making the changes, and the peace plaza which we talked about and doing work there which is a great Tourist Destination and is in need of repair. But dialing it back just a little bit and i want to talk a bit about equity and talk about access. And i just remember, again, i keep going back to my childhood because when we were growing up the park was right across the street, hayward playground, and wed walk to the park and we could rely on the Lunch Program and we could rely on the ability to go there anytime after school and there were always just people there and there were field trips, there were people to help you with things and recreational stuff, and, you know, and we we didnt have the money to pay for it. And i dont remember applications and all of that other than the field trips that we had to get permission to go on and to be able to participate in the Lunch Program, but ultimately now everything is electronic. And its been a little bit challenging and somewhat i guess confusing for some families to try to sign up for the program and i think that you made some changes to that, so the things they want to know about, number one, you know, are the programs still free to Public Housing residents . And what improvements have been made to the outreach to those residents so they can know . Because i think that theres still confusion and they think i know that theres been parents in the past that have paid and then theyre like well i was told they had to pay and things like that. And just outreach to help them to understand that its free and then, secondly, just the process and how much easier has the process gotten . Because let me just back it up a little bit, my grandmother was not going to walk down to hay regard playground hayward playground and i had to take the stuff back and i want to do this and i couldnt always explain it so you have children who may have grandmothers and may have people who have limited englishspeaking skills who need their child to be the one to explain. So whats going on with that program . And highway does that work . How does that work . Thats a great question. So everybody has visions of what it was like when they were a kid and what i want to kind of put you at ease to a little bit, yes, things change, but theres a lot of the Core Principles for how our system operates that actually is very similar. Yes, we have programs that you need to register and we have things like Mountain Biking and skateboarding and kind of new and evolving or Digital Media types of activities that may not have been as robust when you were a kid, supervisor, but we still have neighborhood camps where you can kind of drop in and hang out. We have a lot of our programming is a mix of structured and unstructured and you register but theres a lot of unregistered type of program and its a mix of things that you pay for and a mix of things that you dont and, frankly, our fee model is designed we have a very, very core principle which is that everybody has access to our parks and programs regardless of the ability to pay. And we deliver on that. Again, a million and a half we do track a little bit more so that we can kind of share with you how were going about the thing that you want to achieve. Yes, housing folks in Public Housing can use all of our programs and are enrolled in our camps for free and i think that our outreach has improved and its one of the areas that i want to continue to drive and part is resource intensive. And in response to your question and dovetailing on a piece of supervisor fewers question, the only way to sign up is not online. When we do our big registrations, every facility that hosts the program, you can walk in there and meet with a live body and meet with someone that is most likely to speak your language at the facility. And sign up. Our Scholarship Program is very simple, it is modeled after the School Districts free and reduced Lunch Program. And, frankly, where people have trouble, you know, kind of documenting or filling out forms, either our staff takes care of it or youre just in and its a very human operation. And we care about kids and we care about families and we care about seniors and we want them to be in our programs. And so a lot of that still remains. Yes, weve evolved and some of our Business Practices have evolved, by the way, for gotted. And you gave us a lot more money general fund support in the days when your park system was operating. So we have captured for people who can pay and should pay and were able to capture a bit more revenue or at least track or account for it with those accounts practices were probably not as good back then. But the core essence of what we do, of being able to show up at a park or at a rec center and enjoy it, i think that it very much remains. Supervisor breed thank you. I know that were talking about capital related issues as well and piggybacking on supervisor fewers request for a review of the Strategic Plan for Golden Gate Park. Im hoping, again, that that would include just the entryways. I think that we should come up with a vision to redesign those entryways and you know my dream of making it a very active, specifically with alfred lake, and making it a very active space and we have done a great job together with the bikes and with the red umbrella and the skateboarders and those kind of things, and so the parks are meant to be used and not abused. And the parks are meant to be enjoyed and we want to make sure that people feel welcomed, of course, no matter who you are but we also want to make sure that people feel protected and safe in our parks because thats another thing that is a challenge and when we activate, you know, the space, it just really makes a real difference. You know, i think that maybe you know, whenever, you know we all think that the right time is, by the way, Golden Gate Park turns 150 on april 4, 2020. Thats its 150th anniversary and its a good time for us as a city to think about its past, its present, and its future. And we have recycled water coming to Golden Gate Park in 2020 which is pretty exciting and well hopefully cut a ribbon on the golden Gate Tennis Center and our Tennis Learning Center program. You spoke about some of the capital work, supervisor, and i think that you said on the citys capital you sit on the Capital Planning committee as well and were slated for a bond in 2018 and we have figuring out to do and what were hearing from all of and you what we have heard from the community and numerous groups theres a lot of pentup demand. So while weve done a lot of good theres a long way to go and we have jean friend which is one of our busy whyest an busies that needs a recreation and you and i have talked about the pavilion and the edge. And mclaren lodge, though it just houses staff, is a pretty important building and the most seismically unsafe building in San Francisco. Theres a significant amount of evolving need of the projects that are kind of big and gnarly and so in the next year or so the work will begin to think through how were going to, you know, what are going to be our priorities and you talked about the japantown peace plaza and theres a lot of pentup need for some pretty tricky, complicated projects. We have done a lot of work and we have done some of the smaller projects over time but particularly with rising costs of construction escalation and, you know, a whole host of things, you know, were now in the realm of some very significant work that still needs to be done and, yes, that includes Golden Gate Park. Supervisor breed thank yo you. Supervisor kim okay this is really fun for me, by the way, i like talking about parks. Supervisor kim good, im glad that youre having a good time d
