‭plenty of room for big projects. Getting to the island will be easy because the ticket‬
‭to the World Expo includes transportation there. While we need to clear some trees‬
‭for our plans, we'll make sure to keep the island's historical spots safe. We'll mark‬
‭them clearly and protect them so that they stay just as they are, even as we make‬
‭improvements for the future.‬
