future of transit and the future of the district. i understand it is a continuation of the third street light rail project which will connect to the southeast corridor and mission bay, south of market, which i know is developing rapidly. we want to be connected to that. later if there is funding on to north beach and fisherman s wharf. we see a huge investment in our transit and in the city. we urge you to support the fund today. i am the chairman of the central subway task force. we strongly support the subway and extension to the north to serve the northeast part of the city. the northeast part of san francisco is the densest in the country not serve bide rail rapid transit. san francisco is the slowest of any of the systems. the northeast has the slowest in san francisco and the stockton and third street corridors have the slowest transit in the northeast, 3.5 miles per hour. we desperately need rapid transit and a comprehensive system for the city and it is an essential

to have defined for me what long term means. we have a lot of contractors with multiple permits. coming to and from their place of business over the course of a day, they could be several hours and one job location, or back at their place, take care of all of the paperwork. coming and going is an integral part of the business. if the legislation seeks to clarify the business of keeping your vehicle at 1,500 feet, or three blocks, instead impacting the workday, it becomes a very expensive issue for all the people in my association. everything in construction is very competitive. every minute on a generally been project is more than $1.50. if you have these electricians working and walking to and from, as opposed to working, it becomes very efficient. i would like to take that into consideration. leonard lynch. followed by micro mark orszag. my name is leonard lynch. in a third-generation san franciscan. our cost per minute is $1.80 per minute. over 15 feet it becomes an ex
