Ended at 9 oclock last night, our board of directors with 30 people we have a very large board of directors unanimously voted to support option 4 at the pagoda theater. It is rare that 30 people agree, especially the 30 people with whom im involved. I come from a family of 45. Rarely we have collaboration, rarely consensus. So, ive been involved with ive been with north beach library, so, different opinions. I respect and everyones opinion that has come before me today, but this just happens to be what we looked at it very thoroughly as we have. Its a 30year Old Organization and weve tried to take in every side of it. And like i said, we unanimously support option 4 at this time. Things could change, but today december 4th [inaudible]. Thank you. Thank you. Graziano [speaker not understood]. My name is Graziano Mukasey and i run a Small Business in north beach. [speaker not understood] found out when its supposed to start. And nobody ever came. Nobody ever said anything to us. And when
We have written a joint letter that id like to read to you today in support of option 4. The Chinatown Community Development Center is a proud longtime supporter of the central subway. With the north beach business association, we endorse the concept of an extension to north beach and Fishermans Wharf. We support director reiskins proposal to study extraction of the tunnel Boring Machine at the pagoda theater with an alternative of behring the tbm under columbus avenue. We also support the mtas efforts to plan for a station at the pagoda theater and additional stations to and from Fishermans Wharf. This will create a northsouth connection that serves the eastern edge of San Francisco, connecting important neighborhoods and communities. The north beach business association, we have over 80 members in north beach would like to add a few more comments, which is, we would like to see the excavation in a new station at pagoda palace, but we want to make it clear that we do not support this
You go into the hills. Youre going to see a lot of cab drivers and private citizens going into the hills or clogging some of the chinatown streets to get to north beach or to find parking in north beach, or people to be dropped off in north beach. So, i think you have to deal with youre forgetting that these small the difference between union square and north beach is that union square closes by 9 oclock at night. Its dead. And you want to go out to eat after a movie, after a concert, you go to chinatown outside chinatown and north beach, its not going to happen and people are going to go out of business. Thank you. Next speaker. Roland salvato, denise dan, John Bollinger and [speaker not understood]. Good afternoon. Hi, roland salvato. Thanks, directors. Some mistakes are very expensive, and im afraid thats whats going to culminate here because there are and there have been a few mistakes beginning with things that are obvious in the documents that have been circulated. So, for exampl
We want people to pick up our trash, to separate our recyclables, to reuse, repurpose what we can to practice sustainability. To set leadership by example. Do whatever you have to do, but lets not leave these pieces somewhere in the ground where theyre going to be someone elses problem, but someone elses problem at our expense. Thank you. Our next speaker, please. Julie christian son, joan wood, fannie renwau. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I support the general connection of tline to north beach if it is well designed and well planned. Because of that i dont support the abandonment of equipment under chinatown. I believe the loss of finances and the loss of momentum could reduce the chances for an eventual north beach station. I do support the extraction at the 1700 block of powell.

If the extraction takes place, if the land is leased from the Property Owner, not purchased, t
