president fong: ernestine weiss. >> good afternoon, everyone. i agree with the gentleman's speech and peters presentation was excellent. i support it wholeheartedly. to create a park -- you know how i feel about open space. i love the way it is positioned there. i only hope we will have facilities that people could play soccer and volleyball, which we desperately need. we do not have the most recreation on the embarcadero, for the young people and the working people. i see that with requests for my part which we cannot accommodate. anyway, it is a beautiful project. congratulations, peter, on your efforts. i hope it goes through quickly and that we remain successful. the ones that went before us will not work. this one is right. i have to say when i endorse something they usually goes through. so thank you very much. make sure it has all these aspects. thank you. president fong: bernard meyerson? >> yes, thank you. i'm also a member of the maritime commerce advisory committee. i just want to make two points that maybe would not be made by others
