I know the Community Process and the work at supervisor cohens office and i have seen it firsthand as my office doing the San Francisco reservoir at the same time and i think its tremendous. The ability to connect that part of the city that is really now starting to emerge i think is a really unique opportunity at this time and these projects come up in opportunity.

Its been a long long road and countless hours of work inside of city hall not to mention whats been done outside with our neighborhood working groups. It has gone through the puc Commission Approved for sale, gone through parks and recreation commission. I want to thank phil and his entire team. S
