Thank you Chair and thank you Mr.
1:22:01
Grishler for being here and your team.
1:22:05
I want to know what phase are we actually in for the airline and when that work actually gonna be completed?
1:22:14
The tube for the to get to airline, to the last stop.
1:22:20
So
Demetrius Crichlow
1:22:21
I am not aware of the work we're talking about.
1:22:24
I'm happy to look at the specific outage.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:22:27
Because on like I said on weekend we don't have no trend most of the time and in weekdays people are complaining sometimes because we're not having a regular service for the L train and that's the only way out for us in that end of the community, the Canarsie part.
1:22:47
We've been suffering for a long time.
1:22:49
Ever since Sandy they say, yeah we're still working.
1:22:51
Whenever we ask questions, we're still working on things.
1:22:54
So what are the things that we're working on?
1:22:56
Ever since Sandy, that's how long we've been working on.
1:22:59
So I want to know why we're not having trends on a weekend.
Demetrius Crichlow
1:23:03
So I'll definitely I'll definitely talk to the team about it and get back to you.
1:23:07
I will say that the Canarsie is probably one of our best lines.
1:23:13
Mean
Mercedes Narcisse
1:23:13
but on weekend it's It's
Demetrius Crichlow
1:23:15
like fantastic.
1:23:16
On time performance for the L line is like 90%, which is and and that's on headways of you know like ninety seconds during the rush hour.
1:23:26
It's like some ridiculous amount of service.
1:23:28
But I totally get your point on the weekends.
1:23:31
I'll take a look.
1:23:32
I know we did look at the making sure that the shuttle buses when there are outages are robust enough to be able to handle the ridership.
1:23:40
But I will look at the frequency of the outages and get back to you.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:23:43
Yes, thank you.
