[inaudible] i have lived there for 25 years, and we are all in love with the exploratorium. we have always our families and spent many great hours there. for us, neighbors in this area, it is not about trying to stop people from coming to the exploratorium. it is trying to protect the safety of our neighborhood for our children. many years ago, we fought very hard to keep big trailers and buses off those neighborhood streets for the safety of our children. we had two neighbors, two doors down from me that were both injured when their truck called in and made a u-turn at the corner of lyon and chestnut. they were hit and spent months at the hospital. we wanted to keep this two- wheelers off there. it is one of the first places they can part because it is flat. that is what we are concerned about. how is the city going to keep non-student buses out of that area? we want to work to find some other solutions so that we can keep other trailers -- it is not about keeping the kids and the st
