And, it's icy right now dangerous in that area.

1:24:18

One more, one last thing I'm going to ask, the canopy in our streets, we don't have that in many areas.

1:24:25

And, like the council member nurse mentioned, the temperature is rising.

1:24:29

Right?

1:24:29

We know temperature is rising that's global warming.

1:24:32

Right?

1:24:33

So, how do any study done to see what's the difference between when you use, I mean, cool asphalt comparing to regular?

1:24:46

And what is the difference in that temperature?

1:24:48

Is any data been done?

1:24:50

Any dripping?

1:25:04

Alright.

1:25:04

Thank you.

1:25:05

This is not my hearing.

1:25:06

I'm gonna leave it alone.

1:25:07

And we have to reimagine transportation by the way.

1:25:10

Because

Margaret Forgione

1:24:50

I don't have that off hand.

1:24:52

I think other jurisdictions probably have that.

1:24:54

So you're saying light cover, a cover light color on top of the asphalt versus regular asphalt?

1:25:00

I don't have that, with me, but I'm sure we have access to that information.

Michael Capasso

Mhmm.
