Thanks for the question jessie with the warriors proje
Architecture of the other buildings theres an element of sameness he hope youll reach that making it im happy about the continuation of the waterfront im sure the port will be supportive the mandate of the bay trail and the citys idea of connecting the buildings and have Fishermans Wharf all the quasi youre starting to do here speaks to that idea and at the end youll have to stand to get the same applaud the sales force and the letterhead i look forward to seeing this project. Commissioner antonini. I too am very impressed by the plan it is truly an urban facility like many in the past you have a arena surround by a sea of parking and the arena maybe the park in the middle the gathering spates even more than the arena that will be used often but the park and the plans for the food hall and the Office Buildings and, of course, all the remain use that is in the area will make it a vibrant area all year long and this is very giving to me unfortunately in 1966 San Francisco began to lose n
