And do 1 also understand ha agreed to phase in the commercial poRion to better frt with Mayor Kim's proposed and d `oancurrsttcy policy'? Again this should be accelerated, not slowed down, F{owover h i3 ip theta. It seems to me that the project as originally presortted was pretty good in first it wolf d have a signifiraat positive effect on the traffic, but thm you throw in atl these tmheard of Condit ns that the developer agreed to!
