lion's share of our time at the cac i had concerns with the connect our road under the 5 p heading and asked for clarification my concerns were rather than the proposition not to fitting itself eligibility requirements for the transbay remits and at the end of the day it's perplex being in danger because of this. erick ruth linkage talked about the projects funded through an increase in the vehicle licensed fee the cac was assured the planning efforts would continue and not the only source of funds. john larson questioned the project in light of ocean beach that calls for closing the highway because of erosion and
