While we know all of those Parking Spaces and we are addressing making sure people have information to drive to all those spaces. The main focus of what weve been working on recently is the music concourse area. Especially because museums reopened and academy of science will be reopening. [please stand by] were going to add tour bus parking area and six more accessible spaces on Martin Luther king drive and four more on nancy pelosi so that would get us to the 18 faces that were losing with the j. F. K. Closure. Were having people with knowing where they can drive and where they can go to drop someone off and park or with their paratransit can drop them off. So the other thing that were addressing is the communication to ensure that theres clear Information Available in multiple formats. So, we are going to be providing maps and detailed directions on our website and to the Disability Community and every way that we can and to make sure that people have access to that information. Were also, and i think that sarah may have mentioned this already but were working together with mta on ensuring that google happens and other mapping and navigating tools reflect the current information because we found that some of those tools are giving old information saying some things are closed that are not and not telling people exactly where they can drop someone off or where they can have their car shared driver drop them off. And improving signage throughout the park so people can be districted where they need to get to when theyre approaching and in the park. And the map and directions that i spoke about, those actually should be posted any time now. Theyre just being finalized. What were talking about is an i can share that information with the council. The map and the detailed directions are developing. Those should be posted on our website at sfrec. Org. Could you also you have about a minute left. You will be able to find the map and detailed directions and on our website and and the last thing i want today say that if theres the public can email us directions at rpdinform and at sfgov. Org and they can call 145 8312700 if they have any feedback or questions or comments. They can also contact me directly. Thats all i had to go over. Excuse me, how did they contact you directly . Im at lucas. Tobin sfgov. Org. It welcome back great if we can figure out a way to have frank to your information about accessibility within rec and park on our site. Its just, you know, it will just make life a little bit easier, hopefully for folks. It gets a little crazy trying to track down where everything is located. Theres a theme with my questions and observations and im only going to make one. First of all, thank you for your presentation. Again, do you have or would you consider having members of the disabled community participating in whatever your outreach planning, where the decisionmaking planning occurs within your organization . Within your particular Program Areas . I think it would just make a lot more sense for us to be able to communicate with you directly and as a followup, you were mentioning all of these things that you are planning on doing. Are they done . When will they be done . What is the timeline for having them completed . So, ill answer the second part of the timeline. We are some things will happen more quickly so like i said the information on the website it will up as soon as today and as soon as that is finalized. Were converting the Parking Spaces in the tour bus parking lot that are, as we speak, being converted to seven days a week and those are only accessible on saturday. Theres a decision made a while ago to do that so those are being changed. As far as redesigning that parking lot and designing accessible park north some of pf the areas will take longer but we hope in 30 days well have that. Within what you would say by midnovember . Yes. And then as far as the way finding signage in the park were hoping that that can be completed within 30 days as well. And those are most of the initiatives. The map and the directions will be updated as things are add or if anything has changed but those should be really quickly. If people want to take advantage of weather and get out there. I dont want to promise our westbound guy was able to get them posted today but there was a possibility of that. I would say for sure by early next week. The infor information should bee website. Absolutely, we definitely want to find a way to make sure were engaging and to be more efficient. Its sort of been mdc talks to nicole and we talk to nicole and it sort of is not as efficient as it could be. I think were coming at good ideas and were getting the information that we need from the community but, it could be a lot more efficient. I would love you to contact me directly and maybe some things out or i would share that information with alex and other Council Members who want to participate in this. Thank you, lucas. Council members, do you have questions or comments . I do. You can go first. Do you want me to go first . Or do you want to go . I can go. All right, go ahead. The interpreters are figuring it out. One moment. Go ahead. So just really briefly just a quick comment. I just wanted to issue between the bicycles and the walking at the same time needing muff for Parking Spaces for people who need parking as well. Who need parking close to the museums in terms of access. People like, you know, the under served community is not very well organized often times. Im just curious how you will address that with all the different people using the park. Its important we bring everybody into the conversation and make sure that everybodys concerns are addressed. I will say that one potential opportunity that we have here is that with jfk, with the vehicles and the bicycles and people walking and pushing strollers and things, its a lot going on in one place. We may actually find that things are a little bit safer if we make accessible parking close to commerce street. That is just me kind how did we have the question that do you guys have a disabled working group besides talking to mdc and mod and mta regarding the high dense ability and how contacting and people that are reaching and the city portion is that they mention to say that this is more of an issue regarding accessibility and paratransit and its a little bit concerning and confusing it is true that things happen a lot more slowly than wed like them to. I do feel like were in a great place now where this topic specifically and like you are saying, other topics as well are being addressed and i like the idea. My other role at rec and park is all of our programs for people with disabilities and we just started parents groups for our programs for kids and its something we havent had for a long time and that has been great. So i really like your idea of starting a group with disability communities and looking at these kinds of issues. Mostly, what weve done before is look at program issues of programs that were providing. And is there another part to your question . Yeah. I would like to go back to the issue that working group. Have you considered talking to a chance to be involved in that usage because theyre the ones that provided the service, not the other agencies, right . Yes, yeah. So thats actually an excellent discussion. I mean, we are relying on mta right now and i think you are right that it makes sense if that can work to bring in their director to these discussions because they are on the front, you know, right there driving people and taking them and ive worked with people and programs for 30 years who are coming on paratransit and its the worst feeling in the world to have to cancel a program because the paratransit, you know, gets messed up and they go to the wrong place. For kids on a saturday or for someone to miss a program because paratransit, there was some kind of confusion where they had to drop off. And so, maybe sarah had the comment about this as well how we can really make sure theyre still in the discussions until the theyre clear on the information and they can provide input directly. Do you have something to add . Yeah, basically i what you just said lucas but i just wanted to affirm that this is important to be in these conversations and to talk directly to people and so i will work with my colleagues at m. T. A. And paratransit to bring paratransit explicit tetity of s issue of accessibility of golden gate park. Thank you. I would just want to add emphasize, sarah and lucas, you need to representatives from the disabled community when you are doing that, not just discussion the fact that this is an issue. All of our experience is trying to get from point a to point b and theres nothing i find more impactful than first person experience. Especially when were having to navigate so many hoops to try to just go and spend a day with our family and friends. I know were hitting you over the head with it but i want to make sure that it doesnt end up being some agency and discussion that we are met with this community and it doesnt have to be mdc people. Clearly we have a lot of people who want to Say Something and we need to move along and i should probably stop talking. Before i do that, i wanted to check in with my fellow members see if they can any questions for the panel. It feels like the community and left behind and our access to nature and for our Mental Health is to be swept under the rug any time there needs to be any type of changes or cuts so i just want to reiterate the more disabilitycentered we can be, the more we actually access for everybody. And, i would like to also point out that it is incumbent on members of the disabled community to commit to participating in these efforts as well. So in the opportunity presents itself, i hope that we have some people who are interested in a contribution and a substantive contribution and we will if you are interested to the mdc website. Someone could they mute themselves, please. Thank you. Im going to go through the list of Council Members. Do you have a question . Kate williams . Helen s. It kind of sounds like the bachelor, doesnt it. Im going to take your rose. I just needed a little levity here. Debbie kaplan, is going to read a summary of the inaudible message that i believe the mod received during this meeting. So, you are up. Yeah, thank you. So, in the last couple of weeks, m. O. D. And m. D. C. Have received 23 messages concerns about the j. F. K. And rather than reading all of them, which i dont think my voice is up for it and why want to cut into people on the phone, ill summarize. The issues theyve raised are, the importance of parka men tee and facilities such as the academy of science and the museum. All the Different Reasons why theyre important. The reduction in parking that is close to these facilities and many people have talked about their difficulties in walking very far. Two or three blocks may seem like not very much to someone who doesnt have a mobility disability, but for some people it means impossible. Parking in the garage is not affordable for many. One person said quote, with the impending close your of jfk after Everything Else one of the interpreters froze. Can someone else pick that up, please. Thank you. So what we heard is quote, this is a quote from one person. Would the impending close your of j. F. K. , after Everything Else, im hearing quote, our fun is more important than your access. Im also hearing that healthy San Francisco is for Healthy People and that obviously doesnt include you. Other issues people have raised is, that they ned to be able to use taxis and lyft inside the park and others have talked about safety with respect to bicyclists. And have described situations where they have been rolling our walking and have had either almost or have had accidents with bicyclists. So, that is the summary of all those messages. This is nicole through the chair. I have to clarify that we will, because we going to make sure that they have a digest of all the comments that you can read and respond to on your own time. Thank you, nicole. I was just going to ask what it was going to be. Now were going to go on to participants and ask them jim or sean, are we ready with callers . Yes, we have about five callers right now. Ok, great. Lets get started. Caller hello, again this is cairo with disability action. Based on how not well the designated bike lines was implemented and being used at jfk, we really emphasize that before you do any closure, the remaining part and the part that does get closed, is totally accessible. And i hear in a lot of comments how we need to get the Community Involved and everything but first of all, we node to get all the government stakeholders on the same table and the same room and discussing this and going through the alphabet its not only park and rec but the c. T. A. , which handles the funding, the sfmta because its all fulton street and the great highway and involves getting there and its not just accessible in size, accessibility means outside too. Getting the m. O. D. Involved, getting the mack involved, getting the tcc involved, do i have enough alpha bets here. Basically, and then, ilrc, rich land senior center, for instance and also get the supervisors involved. Supervisor fewer, she still is going to be until january. Get her involved with it. Get a whole group together instead of we the community have to go first through the mta and then wove got to go through m. O. D. And then to the packs and rec. Get them all together. Do it as a town hall or whatever, a task force or something, really get it together. Because its all bits and pieces and we do not want to end up with another designated bike lane problem. Which evolves, which the mod was involved, the senior and people with disabilities workgroup has come up with a guideline how bike lanes should look like. And i think the park and rec should go back to that and treat some of the problems we are having with that. So p. Basically, get everybody involved at once and set up separate meetings here and there while we got communications between the m. O. D. And park and rec but where theres the communication with the department of rec or community with the m. T. A. So, im for closing the street. Ive been there as a bicyclist and disabled bicyclist. Accessibility should be for everybody. I hate to harp on this but the bicycle line there, even, as a psyche list, doesnt feel safe. So i will not ride in it. I will ride out in the street. Im sorry. That is very badly designed and why want to see that for the rest of j. F. K. Thank you. Thank you. Our next caller, please. Caller hello, my name is Richard Rothman and i have to grow with kai about the bicycle lanes. We were on the mayors Pedestrian SafetyAdvisory Committee and we went out there and we chose or we suggested to mta how to fix the bicycle lanes and to change it to make it safer for people with disabilities and you think mta looks into it, hell know. They just do what they want to do and to the gentleman who said about that email address, i emailed the address, you didnt answer my questions, you just send me back a form about kova and i didnt ask about that so did will you please answer my emails and not send me back form letters and one thing they didnt talk about is the ferris wheel is coming. Where are people going to park for the ferris wheel. How are disabled people going to get parking for the ferris wheel and also, they didnt talk about the Concourse Authority who controls the garage underneath. They set the rates not rec and park, not the city, and why think that theyll be rolling the rates because they have to pay the bond off by 2038. Theyve been losing money because no one has been in the park. So theres always these issues and then also about fulton street. People want to park on fulton street and walk into the park. How does it impact the neighborhood if you keep jfk closed in the parking so the way you are saying it, the disabled people cant get into the concourse. Youve got about 20 more seconds left. I just wanted to give you time. I know supervisor fewer is going to have, you know, a meeting, you can reach ut to her and talk to her office about it. This needs a lot more planning. Thank you for your time. Clerk at the controls is the board legal clerk, and legal assistant. Im julie rosenberg, the boards executive director.
