To be responsible for Parking Enforcement . Why do we keep creating impediments instead of building on really one of the most popular successes of the last few years .

Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. Board members. Luke bornheimer here. I urge you to amend the item today to keep the three day clos
Heard that a lot of businesses did not feel comfortable publicly voicing their concerns. So weve kept their responses anonymous as. In conclusion, this is not about a one day or a three day closure.

So with that, that concludes my presentation and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. Colleagues, do you have questions before we go to Public Comment at dr. Ikuko . Just one.
