CWZ, the curbside, and I have some other smaller questions.
1:13:59
Do you have a and I'm sorry if you already said this because I know sometimes people come in late and you have to repeat yourself, but have you communicated to the Carters a timeline for the next zone or zones coming online?
Javier Lojan
1:14:12
No, council member.
1:14:15
So that's one of the things that we are ready to announce in the next few weeks.
1:14:21
I think we can we have a hearing next month that we can probably talk more about that.
1:14:26
I think we're working closely with OMB on making sure we have the adequate resources for the rollout of the next zones and the remaining 19 zones.
1:14:36
But part of part of my testimony that I did want to reiterate is that Queen Central was not very successful.
1:14:45
And one of the things that I, you know, I feel good about is that we have virtually zero complaints Yeah.
1:14:50
I read that.
1:14:50
Businesses.
1:14:51
So I think that that was a great thing.
1:14:54
So I understand we want to get this thing rolled out and that's definitely one of my priorities.
