. >> my name is jackie henderson. good morning, commissioners. >> good morning. >> i'm a resident of a cooperative that borders on the buchanan mall. i lived there prior to it being shut down when it was a street, and it was hell. we finally got the street closed, and it continues to be a problem because there is nothing really positive going on there. and i was so pleased to find out about this project, because i have known tyrone since he was a child. i grew up with his mother and his grandmother, and we were all neighbors and i'm so pleased that he is involved in something positive, something positive that a young person is trying to get done. as they say, we are old gees can say our peace, but sometimes it takes the young people to get in there, to make a project work. and i'm so happy that green streets and the exploratorium and all the others are involved in getting the buchanan mall some positive feedback, some positive things in that area. because it's long been neglected. thank you. >> thank you.
