Parking there and 18th street for a while. I want to thank you for pulling all the merchant groups together and like commissioner dwight says, none of these other cities have seen this yet. I think people may copy us to see what we do. I do believe in what you said too, in smaller towns, where you dont have this type of access, i can see this working and in San Francisco, i see the opposite. For a while there, i was seeing a lot of this em and all of a sudden a lot of them went away too. I cant thank you enough for taking this on because i know you are hearing it from both ends. Good and bad and sometimes people are really passionate about their feelings on this issue.
