Thank you, commissioner.
1:13:25
So two things.
1:13:26
First, after local law one sixty eight of 2021, we have installed over 3,000 truck loading spaces citywide.
1:13:35
This is a combination of commercial metered, parking spaces, neighborhood loading zones, and just unpaid truck loading zone spaces.
1:13:45
And in response to your question about the truck network redesign, we will be publishing our report this spring, or I should say very shortly, from Local Law 171 of 2023.
1:13:59
We are finalizing the recommendations now after we've collected a lot of stakeholder feedback and held public sessions.
1:14:07
We've looked at land use patterns, delivery trends, what's been occurring in New York and even further afield in the trucking industry over the last few years.
1:14:18
And as soon as we release this report, we're going to begin the rule changes, more outreach, and then taking an additional feedback about any recommended changes in the truck route network.

No thank you for that and I'm curious to know, and we can talk offline about this, where those locations are, what that engagement looks like just to make sure that communities are not being overlooked.
1:14:40
Thank you.
1:14:41
You.
