That these new options that you have come up with are fabulous if, in fact, theyre going to happen. But based on this report that im reading, i dont think that they ever will. I dont think february 1st, 2013 is near enough time to take on these new options. And i think that its funny that february 1st, 2013, is probably two days before youre going to start digging the trench on columbus avenue. Also it seems like to me, based on our future or our past business together, that this is an item to a...

Real. Right. The downside of option 3 is that in order to accommodate for north beach station, you would the likelihood would be that you would have to remove these machines, which would be from a difficult operation in the future. Were currently looking at, though, to look at ways of perhaps diverting the machines, kind of off the path so that would either minimize or, you know, prevent the need to remove these machines. And normally when you use a tunnel Boring Machine at the end of the projec...

Uncertain at that. And i think thats a reasonable position and a reasonable tradeoff and thats why we are recommending that as our kind of backstop plan. If were unable to make something happen offsite. The final thing i think youll hear from folks is kind of our final backstop, which is if for some reason going to the pagoda site doesnt work and for some reason we cant make leaving it underground work, which i dont anticipate we would have trouble doing, but we dont have that fully designed and...

I believe, director brinkman, youre referring to option 3. Yes. The benefits of option 3, it does allow the construction of 3,000 feet of critical thank youerctionv that could make the possibility of an extension be real. Right.

Happy. Thank you. Okay. Next speaker, please. James bosworth, craig fonaro, lance carnes. Good afternoon. Hello, my name is James Bosworth and i am here in support of the chinatown and north beach business communities in their opposition to the central subway. Ever since the construction of this project, this organization known as the mta has been using lies, trickery and deception to economically terrorize the chinatown and north beach business communities by limiting consumer accessibility, by...

The polls are still there where the 16th streetcar were. For what . So you can be reliable for the deaths in an earthquake in a project that uses flawed engineering [speaker not understood] . How can you sleep when you know you pushed the mayors agenda in chinatown and north beach just as was done in the bayview and Hunte...

And thats continually monitored. Pressure washing of the sidewalks so that pedestrians dont have to deal with any intended dirt and debris, just keeping job site cleanliness and safety. Those measures were weve successfully deployed for the utility work since weve been up there since august of this year and its been quite successful. But the work that will be occurring in 2013 is more disruptive than what the community actually experienced from the summer till present day. The relocation, utilit...
