Anything else like that. We actually looked at what was there and if it could be adapted to reflect this fine grain community, we adopted it or we tweaked it. And, so, i think that what youll see is this is a plan that allows for the next 20, 30 years of the growth of south of market, that reflects our planning principles and grew out of all the nuance pieces of it.

They would build a streetcar line out into the wilderness, and then the housing and the commercial would follow and it would build around that. Today it seems like we engage in a Community Plan and we slap on transportation after the fact. Tom radulavich, director of Livable Cities served on the task force for the first four or five years, i believe, representing transportation advocacy, working with chester fong from Transportation Authority and mark solomon, as i mentioned.
