David Schonbrunn, Transdef, Mill Valley, spoke regarding the issue of
financial responsibility for the grade separation and stated that the PUC
ruling was final in this matter. He said that to obtain an unconditioned
crossing approval, a focused EIR on the safety impacts on SMART of this
crossing was needed, and the threshold for the need for a grade
separation must be determined.

according to the Brown Act when they cut off the public comment at a
certain point during the last item.
