ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA (PUBLIC COMMENT) 3-A Member of the public Carol Gottstein asked that the members of the public who were present at the January 9th Retreat (Carol Gottstein and Audrey Lord-Hausman) be added to the minutes. Staff Parker said she would add those names to the minutes. 3-B. Member of the public Anne Steiner expressed concerns regarding the Central Avenue Complete Streets Project, and gave input as a disabled driver. Said that the Shoreline Bikeway Project was a problem. Urged that a disabled driver be appointed to Commission. Commissioner Aghapekian asked Ms. Steiner to be specific about her problems with the Shoreline Bikeway project. Steiner reports that lanes and parking spaces have been narrowed. Scary to get out of car. Disabled spaces are not on beach side, and crossing the street is problematic. If these same things are applied to Central Avenue project, this is a problem. Commissioner Lewis discussed presentation made by Gail Payne on Central Avenue Project. Asked Ms. Steiner to apply to Commission to fill vacancy on the Commission. Chair Kenny mentioned that she discussed the South Shore Bikeway parking issue with the project manager, Gail Payne, and that these issues Ms. Steiner is concerned about are set to be addressed by a committee soon. Commissioner Deutsch mentioned that the Commission has looked into the Farmers Market parking issues before. The Farmers Market staff should be providing disabled parking. Intermittent disabled parking issues - some managers reserve spots, some do not - at Farmers Market. 4. NEW BUSINESS 4-A.
