the chunnel in europe, one machine on the british side was sidetracked in a unl and the main tunnel. the second machine coming from france was -- the tunnel is not necessary. the pagoda project is not necessary. thank you. >>: hello planning commission. haven't been here for quite some time. my name is joan wood, i lived in north beach for 48 years continuously. what mr. wong said is absolutely true. almost nobody in north beach except a small group the list at the top of telegraph hill they are the only ones that have input into the planning for the central subway to take his turn down columbus avenue. recently the north beach businesses found out about the plan to extract these enormous machines and erupted in a fury. i am grateful for chiu because she arranged for four or five meetings. almost everybody else at meeting four voted to extract the machines at chinatown. it presented five options for the extraction of the machines. it was stunning that north beach belatedly was given the opportunity to have a say in this proposed disruption of our neighborhood. we found out about it.
