Sure.

So we're very excited as you mentioned chair and I mentioned in my testimony that Bronx East and West are coming online.
0:25:30
So we we released the schedule and why there weren't any dates is that while we learned a lot from Queen Central that that was you know one zone you know within the borough.
0:25:45
We feel like there is some more to learn because every part every borough is unique and I think once we get The Bronx under our belt we will be able to have a tighter timeline.
0:25:59
The one thing I will commit to is that before we roll out any of those zones, we will give the Carter's ample time.
0:26:07
We'll give them at least six months before rolling out the next zone to make sure that they're aware that we're gonna start in their zone next.
0:26:13
But I think The Bronx is very unique as far and it's obviously very different from Queens.
0:26:18
So I think once we roll out these next two zones, I think we're gonna have seen a lot more and and learned pretty much almost everything we need to.
0:26:26
Obviously there's still a lot more to learn but I think at that point we will be a lot more confident and have a better sense of the dates then.
