“THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO ADD TO THAT THAT SEVERAL OF YOU COMMENTED THAT THIS WAS NOT WHAT WE WERE ENVISIONING WHEN WE SAID WE WANTED A RESPONSE TO AN OP-ED, AND SO I'M VERY EXCITED THAT WE DID AGREE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A SECOND LETTER THAT IS MORE INTENDED TO PUBLIC CONSUMPTION AND TO TALK ABOUT POTENTIAL IMPACTS. AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AN INTERNAL TYPE OF DOCUMENT THAT WILL GO TO THE REPORT ON BEHALF OF THE MAYORS BUT THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ONE COMING. THANK YOU. AND I SPOKE TO BOTH MAYOR MOORE AND CETAC AND MAYOR IGAL AND I'M SORRY THE OTHER WAY AROUND MAYOR IGAL AND CETAC AND MAYOR…”

“All right. The only thing I wanted to add is that imagining someone going over 40 on 16th Avenue is frightening. And we know that people routinely go more than that.

“Thank you. I will say ditto to all of the activities. It really feels like when summer comes along and the end of spring that things come alive here and we pack as much into June, July, August as we possibly can. I attended many of the things that were already... I want to call out, thank you so much to the staff in Community Enrichment Services who worked on their day off to put on the Soccer Clinic for Youth. We know that they came in to not only support the first 50 young people who signed up, but the extra, I believe, 60 more that came on top of it. So I think we were closer to 120 folks…”
