Yes.
2:57:01
Hi.
2:57:01
How are you today?
2:57:02
Wanna thank the counsel for this important meeting today simply because there's not enough done for alternate transportations.
2:57:10
When we hear of transportation alternatives, today really is wonderful because it's really presenting so many various options for transportation alternatives that we desperately need here in the city.
2:57:22
You know, the fairies are vital for everyone to get around.
2:57:27
So we I applaud the counsel today for doing this.
2:57:30
And I also wanna just say, you know, revenue is needed for all of these important projects.
2:57:35
And since revenue is needed, I'd just like to say from a part of infrastructure relating to transportation and parking, which everyone may know is my expertise.
2:57:44
That electronic parking signs in Midtown and in high congested areas of downtown Brooklyn and throughout Queens as well can produce tremendous revenue for the city that can help us expand all of our transportation options.
2:57:59
I just wanna remind everyone about that.
2:58:01
I've been throwing that on the table for a while.
2:58:04
Revenue by using electronic parking signs that can be displayed in multiple languages can be seen from your car So you don't have to get out in the middle of the night where it might be, you know, a cold night, you know, and a dangerous block.
2:58:22
So these kind of things are vital.
2:58:24
And I wanna thank the counsel again, and it's central staff, and all the advocates for their help today.
