Thank you.
3:31:58
I'm gonna pivot to track trailer overnight parking.
3:32:02
On 09/28/2023, the city council passed intro number nine zero six a, which requires the city to create off street parking for tractor trailers.
3:32:13
The bill requires DOT, DCAS and DCP to coordinate on creating off street commercial parking in at least one excuse me, in at least three locations by 12/31/2025.
3:32:28
What off street commercial parking has DOT created?
Eric Beaton
3:32:40
Sure.
3:32:40
So that project is still going on with our partners that you mentioned at the DCAS and City Planning as well as with EDC.
3:32:49
We care very much about this as the commissioner has said and this is something we hear about all over the cities, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx.
3:32:58
And it's a work that was going on before that was passed and is continuing.
3:33:03
Think one of the things that we're excited about is that we're getting prepared to launch our on street overnight truck parking, which is not exactly what the legislation said.
3:33:13
But while that's going on, we we don't wanna be sitting on our hands.
3:33:16
We wanna try to provide other ways to solve the problem.
3:33:19
And part of that is by providing spaces where those trucks can park overnight.
3:33:23
So coming soon, we're gonna be setting those up in key places around the city.
3:33:28
And if that works, we may find more locations as well while still working with our partners on the off street locations as well.
