<br />18 There's three other questions that I have. One of them has
<br />19 around and talk to them, but what we really need now, now
<br />19 to do with, I actually went door to door to the businesses
<br />20 that we have the alternative analysis and the DEIR and the
<br />20 on Fourth Street and every single one of 60 of those places
<br />PHI-22
<br />21 options, we need your input on which option, if any, you

<br />24 businesses are impacted because the daytime traffic has

<br />3 these streets,
<br />3 five years to move out of their homes and that was really

<br />4 interesting to me because that's a use of eminent domain. PHI-24
<br />5 on Fifth Street, when we took that tour, we saw that

<br />6 there's these small houses and there are no back areas for

<br />6 there's some serious things going on here that I have a lot

<br />12 SEAN PULICH: Sean Pulich again. I think all this
<br />13 so it makes it like, oh, we don't want to come over and
<br />13 information would be very useful on the web site. I think
<br />14 visit your house because we're going to get ticketed. And
<br />14 the web site could probably use some updates. It's still

<br />17 transportation, I've regularly taken Amtrak or Metrolink PHH�25
<br />18 piece of land, I know it belongs to Garden Grove, and I'm
<br />18 to L.A. or into downtown San Diego and Metrolink transfer.
<br />19 really curious how, I know it's within our jurisdiction,
<br />19 to the red line or any of the subway cars in Los Angeles.
