690 STANYAN ST

The first and most important deficiency is the traffic analysis done in November/December -- the least most active time of the area. The EIR fails to adequately analyze the concept between public transit and 181 parking space garage that enters/exits from one location on Stanyan Street that is a secondary transit preferential street.

We are adding a needed neighborhood business and housing. I could forgo some traffic concerns in order to have those things in our neighborhood.

The development is to huge. Traffic and parking problems will be disastrous, and it would compound problems with the entrance to Golden Gate Park.

The project is a great asset to the neighborhood and it would help the community to come together bringing people there.

Safety and risks to pedestrians should be the utmost concern and the EIR was done during the winter months, which are the lowest active months in the Height. During the summer, there are so many activities and traffic is really congested. This project would increase the traffic and the noise.

The project is far denser than what the neighborhood can handle bringing major impact on traffic, sunlight, air and noise pollution with the parking garage exhaust.

The EIR is inadequate on the traffic analysis on Page Street and totally disregards residents on that street.

I'm concerned with the impact on traffic because on Stanyan Street we have emergency rooms, Fire Department, a Library, and Boys and Girls Club.

I fully support the project because the whole area would improve with pedestrians, shoppers, and residents.

Ashbury Council If this is a local market, it has to have a lot fewer parking spaces. Extend the public comment period because there is a lot that has to be done around Golden Gate Park comments. It was so ignored and so is traffic, buses, pedestrians and bikes. There are no discussions on the climate of the open space.

I support the project because we need a grocery store and housing in the neighborhood.

I support the project for being a wonderful market and good residential housing and the EIR is correct.

I fully support this project because it would be a tremendous positive impact on the Inner Sunset making our children safer because residents in the Height would not take their cars to go shopping.

Ashbury Improvement Association Our organization and numerous members have sent letters in support of the EIR and urge the Commissioners to approve the full scope of the proposed mix use project mainly because residents in the neighborhood would be able to walk to a full service grocery store.

This project is going to remove all of the only sunlight that I get and it is going to increase parking issues when people go grocery shopping and do not want to pay for parking.

This project is bringing wonderful things and I commended the project sponsor for it.

The traffic study was done in November/December 2006 when the Cala Foods was already closed which subtracted out twice the traffic and does not discuss increasing Muni delays. I'm concerned about the impact on emergency vehicles with Saint Mary's close by.

It would reduce traffic in the neighborhood and it would bring fresh produce. It would be a good idea to have the garage on Stanyan [Street] because it does not interfere with Muni.
