i'm standing in for tom nolan, our chairman of the board, who couldn't be here this afternoon but does he plan to join you this evening. as you know and monique mentioned, muni is celebrating its centennial this year. it's very appropriate our two agencies have decided to team up and remind people what amazing things we've done for the city in terms of transportation. this is the building where our muni cable cars and street cars come down to meet the water borne transportation as they have done so long. so people can board ferries to locations around bait and ships to destinations around the glone. the most important thing about a city and its growth is mobility and transportation. and the fact that our city, which was basically a peninsula of sand dunes and marshes has developed into such an amazing global city. really speaks to the synergy that exists between the port and muni. and providing the requisite connection between our vehicles and your water craft and your areas. as an enduring premier city on the rim, san francisco continues to provide the vital transportation connection
