My question is this is a nice power point presentation why should we and i guess it states were going to trim two years off the delivery why should we have confidence this is going to actually happen he in terms of that shorter deliver process. Given the challenges that mta has had and in delivering the projects in a time effective way why should we be confident this is real. Thats a question to staff. Through the chair thats an excellent quo. Basically youre saying why should you trust us lets be clear this isnt about the mta this is a boarder issue why should i trust the process in general. This is not a hit or criticism directed at the city staff if you feel compelled to stand up. But back to this particular project we also at that time, point have had the ability to absorb some of the lessons and we have some understanding of the rapid bus transit so we you shouldnt have to have the same discussions oh, again.

I think its critical to push upon that as well as making sure that california implements but there are a number of things we can do and i think what underscores this is the project delivery pipeline is weak in San Francisco. Being able to push forward at an effective pace multiple projects at the same time instead of doing heres the central subway, we should be able to do with la and other places do is they have a whole self of projects that ive moving forward in tandem.
