Nicole Garcia, Queensborough Commissioner, New York City DOT.
3:02:29
So we're moving ahead with the 20 Ninth Street Open Street.
3:02:34
We actually are working with your office council member to schedule a briefing.
3:02:40
We did a pre briefing just to kind of share some conceptual drawings with the college.
3:02:46
We're looking forward to briefing you in the April, and then working with the college to build out the plaza.
Julie Won
3:02:53
Okay.
3:02:53
Because they're still waiting for the bike racks that were promised and the paint when we were there physically in person with the commissioner.

We love OpenStreet.
3:03:03
We want more CBOs, academic institutions to come on us as a Queensborough Commissioner follow.
3:03:14
There was some part related to the leadership of the institution that they were not ready to follow-up.
3:03:23
You know, all OpenStreet have a CBO, so the patient's improvement district as a partner.
3:03:27
But we are more than happy to make that things happen.
3:03:30
So more than happy that we will follow with the office and the presidents of the university.
