i echo the comments, chair melgar, that you just made. this is on the border line of our district, supervisor chan and my district. our offices have been in touch closely on this. you know, i think this has been a very difficult one to navigate from introduction to really building consensus on the board and talking with everyone in the community. i just want to recognize supervisor chan and her legislative aids who put in an enormous amount of time and energy to get this right. as she has described balancing the desire to put the board on record really in support of car free jfk and leave the details to be worked out in ongoing communications and outreach. i want to recognize preston kilgore who is working with us on this. just a few remarks or comments on where we are in this. i want to say i view the resolution as a commitment by the board of supervisors. it commits to keeping jfk car free which is exciting. also, allowing rec and park and s.f.m.t.a. to begin or carryout to explore further improvements to important car free city asset.
