It's totally fine.

And and thank you for bringing this issue to light because as we all know, we we're all in a city where we have bicyclists, car drive you know, and buses.

And, you know, I think, you know even in Queens where I am, I've seen parts of Queens where you have the parking and then the bike lane but then what ends up happening is because there's only one service road lane, I actually see the buses which makes me nervous going into the bike lanes and around because they're trying to get around the double parked cars but usually it's to your point because there are so few drop off zones to allow for patients to have that ability to get dropped off.

So you raise a very good point and it's trying to figure out a way that we're trying to make everything work for this population so that they can actually get dropped off at their treatment centers and medical facilities.
