Deputy commissioner Beaton, in my office, we did a survey of constituents across District 33 of where they would like to see daylighting.
1:25:47
And we got tons of feedback.
1:25:49
We got hundreds of responses of places where people are really concerned about safety.
1:25:54
And I'm not going to mention all of the different horrible crashes that we've experienced that seem to have directly been a result of the lack of daylighting.

But last August, we combed through the whole list, provided 107 recommendations to DOT of where we wanted to see daylighting.
1:26:12
How many do you think we've seen daylighting implemented ten months later, nine months later?
