So commissioner, just to take you up on on the the offer at at 44 if we could shrink that further.
4:23:33
You know, it looks like they're nearing to the end of the construction of the conversation.
4:23:37
That would be really helpful for the families there.
4:23:40
We haven't, and my my office has requested certain buyers in Spanish and we haven't received them.
4:23:45
So I'll be following up with you all to to make sure we can be good partners in getting district 14 folks up there.
4:23:52
And that is it.
4:23:53
Thank you thank you so much.
4:23:55
Oh, actually, one one last point at Saint James Park, I think a kiosk would be helpful there.

I I think we've I started the conversation with commissioner Pompeo in the Bronx, but just wanna make sure to mention it here.
4:24:06
Thank you so much.

And I also just wanted to add, which I think the commissioner was alluding to.
4:24:11
We also work very closely with our partners, Department of Health, who funds syringe service providers, who are doing our reach in our parks to people who might be using drugs in our parks.
4:24:22
So we have very close working relationships with them as well and meet with them on a regular basis.
