I live on Canal Street on this exact block.
1:12:25
I've been there for seven years, and I enjoy this street as much as anyone else.
1:12:31
And I have to say that there were problems at first but everything was addressed that I'd heard of.
1:12:38
I have several other friends that live on this block upstairs with some more children and every concern that had been, like, raised with the team at Ladiv had been taken into account.
1:12:49
Like, the sidewalk used to be crowded and then now the lines are completely formed inside and there has not been any issues last summer.
1:12:59
So I'm really hoping it can stay open because we have, like, love using this as a community resource and, you know, I'm a young person and we all enjoy it.
1:13:10
That's all.
