Good afternoon, president brandon. Im the Deputy Director for planning and environment. Happy to be here today to provide a report on where we are with the draft waterfront plan which was published in june. The work that weve withi been g over the summer. I wanted to give you a report on the feedback and the outreach efforts and to provide this public hearing opportunity, as well, for further Public Comments to come forth. We have really sought to solicit comments by the end of settlement so that we can take stock of whether the draft plan is hitting the points that people expected after the long process lead by the Waterfront Plan Working Group and to make any further refinements and, of course, corrections, if necessary, before we start the Environmental Review process.

The only other thing i want to also mention relative to the references that we always use a detailed letter from one of our very concerned constituents. He represents a lot of things going back to 1990. I just want to make a comment that, you know, this is 30 years later, the city has changed dramatically in many ways. The character of the city, the physical, the people in the residence. You can debate w
