Sure, we'd like to be farther along on this. We have to be responsible, but we have to be aggressive, too. We think we're being both.

We brought the (WBC) pitchers in early because we want to make sure they are farther along than normal so they can physically handle what is going to be expected of them. I'd expect them to start throwing batting practice (before the rest of the pitchers). Once we get them ahead (in conditioning), we don't want them to take a step back.

Absent a double-decker highway costing billions of dollars, there are only minor fixes that we can do to make even a dent in the problems there.

We always learn something new. It's all about learning what people are saying.

We absolutely want to hear what they're saying. That's why we're having the workshops.

Our philosophy is that we want to keep our roads clean and safe, and to do that we want to encourage people to have a safe location where they can mourn.
