Of the right of way. So to take it a little bit further, once they accept, once public works accepts these as public rights of way, the assessment of 4,000 will go away . Not quite.

And the fact is the fact is that because this community took care of me and took care of my family, and i knew as supervisor that these conditions still existed in so many of our Public Housing developments that there was nothing that was going to be more important to me than trying to do Something Different to get the work done for the people who live here. [applause] so we set out on a mission. And it was scary. You know, joyce remembers when we went around and we did all of these meetings with people. And heres the thing we talked about r. A. D. And what it would do, and of course, people were very fearful. They were like am i going to bit displaced . Is something going to happen . Whats going to happen .
