In these jobs we are so privileged to get a chance to meet and experience some of the most talented people in the world. You have to put him right in that category. Every time he came to this studio, it was a force of nature. He was wild. It was as if the switch would flip and he could be calm and quiet and kind. The way he greet...

Guitar lesson yesterday and a special report came on. I listened to it. You just stop in your tracks. Certain things surprise you and he had no illnesses that we knew of. A little mention that he had gone back to rehab for fine tuning of his sobriety recently. We knew he battled that forever. We interviewed him several times. Talk about universally beloved. That is what he was. I dont think he had an enemy on earth. And beloved through generations. I remember sitting at the table almost like a w...

We have 62 new buses. I think half of them are here and the entire bus fleet will be replaced within the next five years. Thanks to your leadership we got prop b passed and smoothing streets and pedestrian and bike infrastructure and also has funds for traffic signal infrastructure. But as you mentioned we have a ...

Budget and timeline so we can properly set the public expectations like the library and hospital projects and the rec and park projects. Thank you.

I appreciate your focus on this. We had so many transit related projects from Market Street to the subway and various other projects...
