. >> chair borden: director heminger. >> director heminger: if we can leave this slide up. i have to say, it's sort of producing a flashback for me for the better market project where we made so many congestions and caveats and compromises, we sort of made everybody mad. i do wonder whether this is really a workable scheme. i noticed that we different time periods in effect in the space of 10 blocks. i'm still not sure i understand the red x that we're chopping a block out of the project. i note that in the survey work you did, the other two projects were much more popular with all users. whereas, this one i don't think achieved 50% support level. that included all users. i know you guys are trying to deliver a project here. i wonder if i can just get your assessment of whether there really is a project we're saving here or not? i think the other two, the cases is pretty clear. this one seems is a closer call. >> in general, if we're saving 3 minutes on route with this highest frequency with one california, we feel pretty good about that. it's not going to be enough by itse
