Implementing this program but there are other parts that have access indie indiscernible . Operator you have three questions remaining. Speaker i would like to commend the sfmta on the slowstreets program. I think its great and particularly, i have frequently used the one on sanchez and if anything, thats to be extended even further and the slow street on 20th can be extended west, as well. I think that would be a great idea. I want to reiterate what everybody else said regarding the tenderloin, an equity standpoint in ten in terms of mg everyones lives better, its unfair they dont have slow streets.

Even as we endure these losses, im hopeful for the future. These months of Public Health crises and social unrest has shown us that when we come together, we can have the hard conversations and make the tough choices to do what needs to be done. Not just save lives but to address systemic racism head on and change society as we know it. I know today is about our budget and our path forward. As we step into the future, one that im hopeful for, is important we take a moment to recognize where weve come from. At the beginning of this year, we were living in a different world. Our Unemployment Rate was at a historic low. Tourism was at alltime high. Hotels were full, we had all plans to shape the future of this city we all love.
