This item . Jim warshow victor an alliance, i really do appreciate the comments that were made by the commissioners regarding the staircase, and driveway. I do think that they reflect very creative and good interpretation to have the project really come out better. And since the driveway as you pointed out is a really nonhistoric element, i am really delighted that you took issue with that.

There have been other developments with the office of Work Force Development to talk about publicprivate partnership. We know the efforts will continue to grow. As you said, the area from sixth to van ness is changing at a rapid face. Its all important to the work were doing going forward. I think at some point, if would be helpful in the update to really understand what the linkage is between planning and dpw and mta. I could also see how we could move forward with better Market Street without having a clear understanding of what planning has in mind in terms of land use. It could be that way. I think its important to show the linkage so we know why were trying to coordinate this. If i could add, you mentioned the grant commitments. We are mindful of the dates those grants will expire and we will ensure we will meet those. Commissioner chu. I want to build on one thing that supervisor wiener said. I agree, your work to be excellent and i cannot imagine how frustrating this experience
