alice walters. >> good afternoon. i am trying desperately. [inaudible] i am here wearing two hats. we had the pleasure of having diane, and half present the waterfront plan update last night, to our community. i have to say, being able to present, they really focus on the goals and the values of the plan doing that was a conjunction with the run-up of the rfps, the first of which are going to be in our subarea. really brought the plan home to the community, so that they can understand what all of those hundreds of recommendations actually meant on the ground to them. i think it was incredibly valuable for the community, and it also, the three years, i think, that you all invested in really paid off. the community was kind of talked about how these projects can go ahead because i have to balance so many different interests. i think for the first time, they really registered what you have to juggle, and what the staff has to juggle, and i think having the goals and the values as the drivers, rather than specific uses is really valuable moving us forward. as the chair of the land use
