franklin speyer -- franklin square park is great but they don't meet the needs in this part of the neighborhood. we have many strengths and the community. one of your commissioners there is a testament to that. we have major senior centers out there and a lot of youth organizations, churches, etc., that are ready to invest and ready to build and really build up the and the structure of the neighborhood because it is needed so much. on the policy tip, eastern neighborhoods rezoning plan was passed in 2008 and one of the key priorities was open space. another priority was family serving good dance -- goods and services and we have looked at this as meeting those needs. both in terms of open space and in a transit-oriented corridor, and we are getting all of these new buildings coming on line, there is a lot of people in the neighborhood. this is very needed. i also applaud the planning department for putting in the time and resources to figure out the differences in design because it is not a moral issue in terms of parking, it's a design different and we can get through that.
