I appreciate the responses.
1:31:54
I I'd like what I will request of you folks is to please and I and I know you will anyway, but speak with the prime sponsor on this bill.
1:32:03
I'm a co sponsor on the Jaywalking bill.
1:32:05
I appreciate what you brought up today with the data.
1:32:08
I do think where we can, as a city, encourage people to be good neighbors, and that includes how you move throughout your community, which means also whether or not you are Jaywalking.
1:32:23
It's important for us to encourage good good common practices by New Yorkers.
1:32:29
I would also say if there's a way to incorporate having you folks be as detailed in these instances and some of your reporting out to the council and to the mayor like this moment where you're seeing might not be necessary to do every single interaction, but where you saw a spike, when you looked at this data in preparation for this hearing, maybe that should be regular practice in how we communicate outward to the local electors, you know, to the city council, to even our partnering agencies because it might be helpful in how we get to even interface.
1:33:06
Like, when I go to a community board, if I my commanding officer telling me we're seeing a spike.
1:33:11
We're giving out a lot of tickets.
1:33:14
That that's my my responsibility to then go outward to the community and say, this is what's happening, and we need you all to be better neighbors.
1:33:24
So I just would hope that you are in good good communication with the prime sponsor to see how we can incorporate that into the spell.
