thanks. >> thank you very much, mr. chu, next speaker, please. >> marshal newman, eileen bokan, morgan sue. >> i'm marshal newman. my wife asked me to bring her comments they are please do not remove the l. taraval stop at 17th, walking an extra two or three blocks is more difficult than you might think for the elderly, disabled and care givers with children or babies. these people may have already walked several blocks, the extra four blocks may mean not being able to do food shopping at all. my own comment is to paraphrase an old saying, anyone who thinks that a person is too old or too slow lacks foresight. god willing, you will all eventually be in the age of these older passengers and when you are, you will want the people considering a matter such as this to make your needs uppermost in those considerations. thank you. >> thank you very much, mr. newman. next speaker, please. >> eileen bokan, followed by morgan sue and then natasha -- >> i'll be using the overhead. eileen bokan. is the pilot project itself a failure,
