Backgrounds. Thank you. Next speaker. Mr. Decosta . I would like the experts to listen to me on this very carefully. First of all, we need an analysis of our own roads. We have too many hills in San Francisco. Im not saying this is a sidebar conversation that is to the public. Thats the least you can do. Its interfering with my deliberation. Absolutely, so we have this issue of the hills in San Francisco. And while we talk about bicycling which i favor, we need to do an analysis of certain routes where the majority of the routes is level.

And its very important to take a look at how new monies will benefit todays everyday transit riders. We havent seen any analysis of that and i think this lays out a framework of handout you how to do that. How new money can benefit transit riders
