GORANOWSKI: The way it was explained by the engineer- ing department, the alternative was Ryan and all of Oxford. Alternative 2 was Ryan and the northern section of Oxford. That's why we're under the impression that we got (inaudible). MAYOR DEMOS: You can still get Ryan by itself and the estimated cost is $7.65 a front foot, if I'm not mistaken. It can be done Ryan alone, or Oxford alone, or together, with two alternatives.
