As a board member, ive relied on your leadership. Ill definitely miss you. Its bitter sweet, a loss to the city, but at least youre just across the bridge, so we know where to find you. Greatly appreciate your leadership and support in everything youve done over the years. Ed, along with all the thank yous, what youve done not only for the city and county of San Francisco but for the region is priceless because the things that weve just talked about dont observe city limits or county limits.

Definitely agree that we need champions at all levels. Thank you, director chang, for giving some feedback and answering some questions for us. We know that we need to be creative and find what are alternatives that are available because you recognize that funding is the biggest blocker in moving this forward. There is a conversation from c. A. C. On what would continue to be able to help. Im a daily caltrain rider of the c. A. C. Speaking for mys

Beloved and really the most enchanted times of the year here in washington. When the Cherry Blossoms bloom on the national mall. But this year the fragile blooms just cannot take this bitter cold. This unusual snap has experts wondering if youre going to be able to enjoy their beauty at all. News 4 Christian Wright live at the basin with more information from the National Park service. Any hope . Well, wendy, it is really cold out here. And, clearly, the Cherry Blossoms, you know, they feel it, too.
