Hello.
3:18:11
My name is Sharon Brown.
3:18:13
Before I begin, I just want to say release the hostages, let Yahweh's people go defend Israel.
3:18:20
Okay.
3:18:20
The sidewalk cafes and the various names that they have roadsides and on the sidewalks, they are very much needed.
3:18:29
We can extend the year round option and make sure that it's places where it doesn't disturb traffic and it's a high volume area where it's disturbing people.
3:18:41
So we can find other places to set it up.
3:18:45
I have an idea that there should be a delivery option where maybe the government or the restaurant itself can have these spaces on beaches and different places like that and they can deliver.
3:19:03
Someone can call their restaurant and be at the enclosure.
3:19:07
The city can build some themselves.
3:19:09
They can get military personnel, homeless veterans, whoever to build it, and they can have it in distant locations.
3:19:17
Someone can call and say, you deliver it to the sidewalk cafe on whatever place?
3:19:23
And they can come there and deliver it there so that it won't just be in front of their restaurant clogging up.
3:19:30
So this lady here won't have a problem under, you know, and other people under their windows and different things like that, we should have some kind of delivery option.
3:19:40
It's very much needed and the year round option is necessary.
3:19:46
If you can have sidewalk cafes year round then the enclosure shouldn't be a problem.
3:19:52
The delivery option should help cure why people don't want to have the year round in the streets, in the enclosures.

Thank you.
