10:51:23 From  OWL  to  Everyone:
	What makes you feel unsafe?
10:51:33 From  OWL  to  Everyone:
	I feel unsafe as a pedestrian walking around my Outer Sunset neighborhood whenever the Great Highway is closed to vehicles because there is so much extra traffic close to me at every intersection, and I’m afraid to walk on any slow or closed street including the Great Highway for fear of being hit by a speeding bicyclist.
	I feel unsafe when I must exit my vehicle which has been parked where passenger door opens into a bike lane and not at the curb so there is nothing to hold to as i step from street (bike lane) to sidewalk.
	
	I feel unsafe where curb cut is yellow with those bumps on it.  I know many people who have slipped down on those myself included.
	
	What can be done to make me, a disabled senior who must use a walker while walking on the Lower Great Highway, safe from being run over by speeding cars diverted from the Upper Great Highway, when I cross an intersection?
	
	I have three words on the issue of pedestrian SIDEWALK safety (okay, four words):
	SKATEBOARDS, SCOOTERS AND BICYCLES: NO!
	I would love to
11:03:32 From  Jodie @ Walk SF  to  OWL(Direct Message):
	Is it possible to make me a co-host? So I can share my screen/slides. Thx.
11:50:40 From  maxine anderson  to  Everyone:
	Good morning everyone.
11:54:40 From  Betty Traynor  to  Everyone:
	Tickets yes, not necessarily SFPD with guns, but traffic enforcers.
11:57:30 From  Lela Harris  to  Everyone:
	There is data that shows when many if not all police departments issue traffic citations they do so disproportionately to minorities .
11:58:33 From  maxine anderson  to  OWL(Direct Message):
	Joan,  please put sent in questions in chat again.  Thanks.  Also, do you see my hand up.
12:00:14 From  Louise DiMattio  to  Everyone:
	I was sitting in Forest Hill (very wealthy) where the cars were blowing through the stop signs. We need help everywhere in the City to keep people safe.
12:00:15 From  OWL  to  maxine anderson(Direct Message):
	scrool up in the chat to see comments. they weren't really questions
12:01:56 From  Patricia Arack  to  Everyone:
	No one stops at the stop signs on the lower great highway either. Closing the GH permanently will increase unsafe and unhealthy conditions for the residents of D4. It defies all logic to close this GH permanently for 5% of the population who ride bikes.
12:02:03 From  maxine anderson  to  OWL(Direct Message):
	Okay but I came in late so my chat doesn't go back that far.
12:03:34 From  Betty Traynor  to  Everyone:
	Traffic circles may be good on LARGE intersections, but not the small ones as Glenda pointed out.
12:04:27 From  Jamie Parks (SFMTA)  to  Everyone:
	Here is a map of street designations in the City's General Plan, adopted in 2000

	how do make traffic circles safe for people trying to cross?   questoon not addressed
12:07:30 From  iPhone4158607778  to  Everyone:
	Why to you implement programs on trial and error? Wasting money!
12:12:21 From  iPhone4158607778  to  Everyone:
	Was it Jeffrey Tumlin company who did the study?
12:14:16 From  Jamie Parks (SFMTA)  to  Everyone:
	Fehr & Peers conducted the study. https://www.fehrandpeers.com/
12:15:03 From  Glenda hope  to  Everyone:
	I kfeel u unsafe if I must exit my vehicle from a buffered parking  area
12:15:38 From  Judi's iPad  to  Everyone:
	Although I asked the question about emergency response time I recently spoke to several fire fighters and a fire chief and was on a meeting with a Union leader of the SFFD and they would disagree with MTA’s response here, although there is much pressure on them to avoid politics and only speak “off the record.”

12:19:59 From  Judi's iPad  to  Everyone:
	The narrowing of streets and addition of bike rental stations in front of small businesses on Geary, on Noriega, Judah and others where parking spaces are removed prevent people from shopping or being close to their homes. How do you justify harming our residents and small business owners in this way?

	You claim your improvements on left turn but you don’t want to spend the money on left turn lights
12:21:40 From  Patricia Arack  to  Everyone:
	Your policies of SFMTA are killing the economy of sf.
