I will start with representing the Pacific Heights residents association; which has i think its now for the fourth time or the third time i forget. Come before you to say the 3 jackson is an important line in our community and we encourage you to preserve that service. I spoke with bill hudson for the Presidio Heights association of neighbors, which is just across the border on presidio street where the 3 jackson provides service and same concern in that area, abandoning the neighborhood that is very dependent for a number of reasons on the 3. With that, representing my Neighborhood Organization and referencing a neighbo
