So I just wanna briefly next slide, please.

Just briefly, just explain the shadow or the results of our shadow analysis.
0:41:03
So there has been considerable misinformation being spread about this project regarding the shadow impacts.
0:41:09
Our seeker shadow analysis revealed that there are no project generated shadows that will fall on neighborhood resources such as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Jackie Robinson Playground, or the McHeaver Place Garden sitting area, which is located immediately north of PS 375 K.
0:41:26
The only shadows that the analysis showed will fall on the PS 375 K running track and basketball court associated with that public school in the winter months only.
0:41:38
In the morning, all shadows will leave the site by 12:15.
0:41:42
At that time, after 12:15, the school is out of session.
0:41:46
The site is then reopened to the public.
0:41:48
So given that that's how the shadow impact fell, the seeker analysis determined that's an insignificant shadow impact.
