mr. strauss. if there are no other members of the public, i would like to close public comment. this is a multi-billion dollar project. we all understand that we went and built a $2 billion, right now, bus terminal that has a train box in the bottom of it in the middle of our downtown that may become the grand central station of the west. if we can figure out how to get high speed rail into it, we can only get it done once, and we need to get it done correctly. there are any number of different players. there was a theory for a while that an alignment that went to mission bay and up second street might be a new thing that we should look at, and in the middle of that conversation, untimely, our mayor passed away. we're trying to put the pieces back together again. i want to thank mr. strauss for correctly noting, unlike a previous speaker, that the two-track, three-track inspection was done not to delay but to increase confidence of this decision-making body. it makes no sense to spend $2 billion building a bus terminal that's like a pyramid if we don't get rail into that trans b
