You are sharing details of why implementation is operationally complex and you're absolutely correct in understanding that you know different bids have different resources for their supplemental sanitation, they go about it in varying ways and the street conditions both sidewalk with space for containers and other issues vary around the city and even across the bids within your district.

I'm absolutely happy to bring back your reflections from this hearing to my partners within the administration and I do appreciate that City Hall is also, excuse me DSNY is engaging with the bids individually and reflecting that they understand that the operational complexity should justify not enforcing penalizing bids in this period of transition, but I'm happy to lift up your idea about a pilot.
