Implementing this program but there are other parts that have access indie indiscernible . Operator you have three questions remaining. Speaker i would like to commend the sfmta on the slowstreets program. I think its great and particularly, i have frequently used the one on sanchez and if anything, thats to be extended even further and the slow street on 20th can be extended west, as well. I think that would be a great idea. I want to reiterate what everybody else said regarding the tenderloin, an equity standpoint in ten in terms of mg everyones lives better, its unfair they dont have slow streets.
