I had a couple questions as well. I thought i would start with Education Campaign. This is quite a small budget, but a significant budget and agree we need to invest in education in the city, that is a key component of vision zero. Im curious if we looked at other city to learn from them in terms of what they funded and invested and what worked for them and if we based this off what we have seen this modeled in other cities versus throwing darts on the board for what we think may work . That is a fair question. We have looked at other what other cities are doing and did Practice Research to see what the landscape looks like. We are doing more of that. In fact, im planning to meet with new york dot the week after next to try to get in person to understand how they are doing their program. We also based on the current experience with campaigns we are running in San Francisco and what our media market looks like. This is a different media market and a little smaller than what they have th
Effect chbly spent andancy is properly communicating with the community. Those are the 3 goals and unfortunately in the diamond and baus worth project the agency failed in all 3 in my opinion. In 2003 the late concongressman tom rantoes who i think passed away all most a decade ago, at the begin ogthf term my predecessor [inaudible] a tained a 3 million [inaudible] for diamond and bos worth intersection which is a mess formany reasons and needs a lot of help, that money basically sat there for 8 or 9 years.

In 2012 when we adopted the glen park plan and insisted the agency move forward and fish it intersection. We then move today the project that is [inaudible] takes the cake. The fact that fromthe begin thofg planning process to now in the middle of construction it is taking lodger than cast rostreet ren ovation which is a larger and complicated p
Have look at the success they are today. Measure their success today with countries that havent chosen to do that. I think colombia is a leader as a result and i think other countries are saying were missing out. Theres an effort we can do to do a better job of reaching out to latin america. Thats part of whats in the budget in the billion dollars were trying to put on the line. Im concerned were going to end up looking bad as usual. The last question i have is where is our progress as far as being sent back to the United States to face trial . Thats the woman that killed a state trooper in new jersey and i read where the cuban government said thats out of the question, were not sending her back. We are continuing to seek the return of fugitives from u. S. Justice. We have raised the case. We have raised the case with the cuban government during the migration talks that just took place a few weeks ago. We raised those cases when we met in january. Theres a meeting here friday that will
