Announcements/ Public Comments Jon Spangler wanted to address some issues regarding the Bikes on BART pilot since he is a member of the BART Bike Advisory Task Force. He was at the meeting on May 23rd and BART staff recommended that the pilot change be a permanent change, but the board was more conservative. He also understood that the operations managers of BART felt the bike pilot was a non-event and it is exactly what those people want everyday. He urged the Commission to write a letter or recommend the City to write a letter supporting bikes on board BART as a permanent policy change because the BART board will hold a meeting again in October to reconsider the pilot. Commissioner Schatmeier stated that all through downtown San Francisco there were repeat examples of bikes getting on and off the wrong cars. He urged Jon Spangler to let the bicycle community know that they have to observe the rules whenever they can so they don't wreck the pilot. Jon Spangler replied they do that and there are people that don't obey the rules in every aspect of our lives and bicyclist seem to be a lighting rod on BART in particular because they are an easy target, but rules are disobeyed and it's not always willful sometimes it just happens. John Knox White spoke about a developed project coming before the Planning Board on Monday on the corner of Willie Stargell Avenue and Webster Street, which has significant access issues. He was concerned that the In and Out Burger development was moving in such a pace that the Transportation Commission may miss their window of opportunity to set necessary mitigation conditions to enhance access to Neptune Park.
