We did reachoit to the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association and this is what the Statement Reads on the website.

And for those who need to drive, theres a 600 space mta owned parking garage around the corner for everyone. Obviously, as youve heard, the shared space is not perfect, but instead of retreating, which will do nothing to address those concerns, we can work harder to make the shared space work better and live up to the values that we talk so much about. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. Board members. Luke bornheimer here. I urge you to amend the item today to keep the three day clos

And thats not a reason to cancel it entirely. We really want an opportunity to grow and expand. On the success in hayes valley and see it thrive. So with that, that concludes my presentation and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. Colleagues, do you have questions before we go to Public Comment at dr. Ikuko . Just one.

Yeah, its would be amazin
