states but as a puny transit system once that was called the people's railway it's really part of the public realm like our public buildings and our trains and our buzz stops we should think of them in the same way pare the leaders here have about a great partner but this gentleman was saying can you incidental someone walking into city hall and starting to puck put a sticker on the doors we won't tolerate that we should have the same obsolesce for our trains and other assets. as the mayor said we want everything to look good and save and ordinarily. but the mayor and i had an

opportunity probably a year ago now to invest the square and i was impressed besides you having beer in the refrigerator it's a time and this may have changed but jack was telling us something like 95 percent of the square people lives in the city whether you're still at 95 or not a lot of you are riding our bikes in the city and we would like to take some of the million dollars that we're spending that dwp is spending to try to clean up our system we'd rather direct that money to buying now a buses and believe new bike lanes. you kids all live in the city
