meaningful and focused outreach - our Seniors
and those with disabilities are fed up - left out -
pay heed - or face the wrath of those that fed up with MTA.
San Franciscans have had a lot of patience participating and deliberating when some drastic changes were made for good - linked to the mid-market area - San Francisco.
I remember well - crossing from Westfield - to the Gap and seeing Mayor Ed Lee playing table tennis - aka Ping Pong - some celebration linked to the changes being made linked to Mid-Market.
Celebrations took place by the United Nations Plaza - and I say this because every effort was made to have focused meetings - but also to bring together people, taxpayers, citizens - to allow fewer vehicles on Market Street from 7th and Market to 4th and Market.
Many of us who take Public Transportation notice the changes - and we may have NOT liked all we saw and experience - however, it was change moving in the right direction.
We noticed the dedicated bike lanes - and notice less confrontation between vehicles, MUNI buses, others, and those using their bike to go to work, other destinations - contributing to less contamination and pollution - more particulates - if they had been driving.
This was a plan - it was put in place - now, pandemonium has been leashed - to move things around - back paddling - trying to fast track sordid plans - that have not been vetted :

In recent years I have seen SF Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) failing us the citizens of San Francisco - people working for MTA thinking that they can push us around.
STOP this nonsense before we take action - the likes you have never seen before - no more nefarious activities and changes for 5 years. The only exception repairs to the streets - much need that has been left unattended - deferred maintenance.
Stop - bluffing the people - with presentations that cannot be seen on the Television Screen - the so-called MTA Virtual Meetings - drab.
The presenters - who have migrated here to San Francisco - have NO institution experience and less institution history and want to order us around.
Right off the bat Seniors and those with disabilities have been left out. These presenters and more the Director Mr. Tumblin has NO clue about the Disability Movement - the Americans with Disabilities Act - (ADA) - not once. has there been input from the Seniors or some Disability Advocate - with qualified certification?
I see this happening all the time - people hired bases on their life-style - they think they can push us around - and as I said before - if you do not cater to everyone - who will bear the wrath of those that are fed up with SF MTA - and those who know little - pushing us around.
stick to them - for at least 5 years -
it will take 4 years to deal with COVID-19
stop wasting millions on plans that have not
been vetted - who are these decisions makers - they
are NOT trusted - and let this be the clarion call -
stop pushing us around - when you have nothing much to offer.
We cannot travel without getting stressed - taking MUNI - construction all over the place - on Van Ness, on Geary, on Bayshore, the contractors taking their sweet time - making change orders - and the Department of Public Works - fast asleep at the cockpit.
We here we have a new Director of Public Works - he should be introduced to the Public - his resume on the website - we need to know who is in charge and why there is so much construction going on - sewer pipes, clean water pipes, other infrastructure done - and taking so long.
Right by Kaiser Hospital on Geary Street - the Main Hospital - it took the contractors 7 months to do the work.
Some two blocks - and they are still working - the contractors do not give a dam about the inconvenience caused to the taxpayers - the Seniors and other disabilities - there is NO one to guide those that need help crossing from one side to the other.
It has been 9 months since the Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA) has been stressing us out. Mr. Tumblin and his minions - the hires mostly those with life-style sordid mannerism - defying us all - be it the Taxi Community - the MTA has cheated and keeps hoodwinking in broad daylight.
Supervisor Aaron Peskin famous for running his mouth - taking credit for what others have done - should stay on his own lane.
Stop - trying to chastise others when public comment is given. You fail to comprehend as do some of the other SF Board of Supervisors - have No clue - what so ever - what we have gone through and going through - these last 10 months.
We the public - are stressed and it is not uncommon for those that cannot hold their cool - to say something they do not truly mean - but say it all the same - because it is warranted - in these stressful times.
San Francisco is not a " first-class city " - San Francisco has been reduced to a War Zone just go and walk around Union Square.
In areas close to 450 Golden Gate - junkies shooting and screwing right in plain sight - disgusting and nauseating - you Aaron Peskin and some other few Supervisors - have no idea what is happening at ground zero.
