So I'll say first off, we don't wanna fail here.
1:16:05
Right?
1:16:05
So it's really important for us to get this right.
1:16:09
So we've been first we had a RFP just to determine what the next fair gate should look like.
1:16:14
What state of the art for New York, not for some you know town in in some small place where no one evades the fair.
1:16:22
We need a specific intervention for here in New York.
1:16:27
By the end of the year, we committed to rolling out 20 locations with new gates.
1:16:34
And so I think that's what you'll see in the near term, and the information that we get from running up rolling out those 20 gates will be able to fuel what we use for the capital plan and and and our expenditures tied to it.
