Good evening, supervisors. My name is jason henderson, im with the hayes valley neighborhood association. The hvna enthusiastically endorsed this project and we ask that you reject this appeal. Ive participated in multiple meetings on this project. There was a thorough public process. Density has been mentioned.

In fact, were disappointed that the fell and oak project didnt reduce a lane and look at the whole corridor. But thats another matter and we understand compromise...

President chiu thank you. Next speaker. Good evening. My name is barbara tangori.

It clearly this project clearly falls into a categorical exemption from a full environmental review. It is clearly minor.

A reversal would delay not only these current improvements that are muchneeded as the previous speaker said on fell and oak,...

The general direction, and particularly with ceqa, is to look at the regional air quality and the regional Greenhouse Gas emissions. The way you do that is to reduce the vehicle miles traveled. This is the kind of project that gets you to your 20 most good evening, supervisors. My name is morgan fits gibbons here on behalf of the wig party. We work to make the wiggle more sustainable and resilient. Im here to make a couple of points on behalf of the hundreds and hundreds of people in our organization that live in the neighborhood. The first point has already been mentioned is that this plan wa...
