Central task force, im also the transportation chair for russian hill neighbors. Youll be hearing from russian hill neighbor president so i will confine my remarks to spur. Spur has supported this project vigorously since its inception. We have supported the four corridors plan which is based on this project, encompasses two of the four corridors. Our major criticism against this project that we have had for some time is it doesnt go far enough. It needs to be extended so that it encompasses the entire north beach corridor. And our principal aim is to make sure that whatever happens does not preclude the extension. We are working very closely with mta and others to begin the study for the extension. We strongly support option number 4, which by the way, contrary to what the previous speaker said, was overwhelmingly supported at the meeting, citizens meeting on the 19th. Only a small number of people supported option 2. Most of the people there also supported people there also voted tha
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 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. Whether that be the pagoda or one of the adjacent properties. I think the pagoda itself has a lot of benefit. If the extraction takes place, if the land is leased from the Property Owner, not purchased, t

To take the equipment out of the center of columbus occur. I would like to endorse what mr. Reiskin, the director of the mta suggested was the possibility at the beginning of todays meeting. That is that you accept the return here if option 4 and option 3 are not possible, that they would ask the mta to come back here to the board with or without Public Comment but certainly just to listen for all of us in public to know why option 4 and option 3 are not possible.

I think theyve done an excellent job in trying to find out what it is that the businesses are so concerned about. I think that i can say if we cant go to the pagoda palace or choose option 3 instead, we would certainly withdraw this lawsuit.
