Hi.
1:15:12
Thank you for twenty eight years of service, and I appreciate what you said.
1:15:17
We're only as good as our last commute.
1:15:20
I take transit every day.
1:15:22
I had a really good commute this morning for what it's worth.
1:15:26
I take the six.
1:15:27
I feel safe.
1:15:28
I hear the subway surfing PSAs, and I know that you really, really care about that issue, and that's something that's very hard to address.
1:15:36
I see the half moon terrestrials at Brooklyn Bridge, so I see what you're trying to do.
1:15:42
I know you're using education.
1:15:43
You mentioned stronger physical barriers and plenty of enforcement until you can replace existing barriers.
1:15:51
What is a realistic timeline on those on that replacement?
1:15:56
What can we expect?
1:15:58
Are there things that we've learned from other cities?
