EXPRESSING SUPPORT TO COMPLETE THE STUDY OF
THE EXTENSION OF CALTRAIN TO DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO

other transit terminals prevents efficient, cost-effective usage of the resources provided; and

and effort studying the alternatives and benefits for such an extension and is ready to move forward

would bring this vital service to Downtown San Francisco.
