it runs between corbin avenue and 17th street in the upper market area. it has quite a bit of damage. this project would make the stairway more safe for pedestrians. it would remove and replace the broken concrete stairs, repair the steel reinforcement, fix cracks in the structure, even out where there are some uneven surfaces at the landings, would replace the current handrail with an aada-compliant handrail, and put no-slip surfaces on the steps. it would make the stairway safer and would have most of the project paid for with federal funds. i can take any questions you have. chairperson avalos: thank you. how long is the stairway? >> i believe that 50 feet. let me check. i think i have it here in the application. chairperson avalos: i imagine there are a lot of other stairway's like this in san francisco that are not getting funding. what is the plan for fixing those stairways? i am not saying it is not worthy, but as part of the decisionmaking process, are there other stairways in need of care? >> we do have a list of other stairways that are similarl

jeremy corbin to join the line it's called and thanks for being with us mr blix was pretty unequivocal about the legality of the war in iraq how important is his testimony in establishing the truth behind the decision to go to war. very important indeed he's a very well respected figure in britain and around the world and he took the trouble of coming to visit the british parliament in two thousand and three and four and explained the situation there as he saw it and i'm very pleased that he's been able to give evidence that inquiry because many of us believe the invasion to be deeply flawed politically wrong but above all illegal what do you think the ramifications will be when the findings of this inquiry are eventually released maybe later this year this inquiry isn't a criminal investigation is it so is it likely at all that is fine is could ever lead to any eventual criminal prosecutions down the line it's not automatic that the evidence collected at this inquiry and the statements made lead to prosecutions but quite clearly statements made particularly by tony blair and former fo
