    Commissioner, Israel, you highlight something that's been very troubling to me. And I'm also Commissioner Gore mentioned this, others have mentioned this, there are so many outstanding requests for safety measures that are either not done or ignored or some, I don't know, fabricated or not controlling document says that you can't do it. There are so many of those. And yet, at the same time, we were told yesterday that we're going to have a blitz, and we're going to act more quickly. Well, what are we acting more quickly on? What we're going to do is we're going to cut out the community in areas where they need to have a say, This is so stupid, it's hard to get my head around it. But I don't know. I mean, I'm just venting here. And I don't necessarily have a question. But I want you to know, I fully appreciate this, that what was focused on here was not what needs to be focused on all of these lists of things. There was a case, I forget which one, this was where you know, a child was injured, where when we looked at it, it turns out that the the people there had been asking for a traffic light forever without getting any response or any anything out of it. This is not the way to run a railroad, or transportation department, I must say. So what I like to do is maybe through the council members, I brought this up earlier, maybe through the council members, I would like to have from the Commission's or through the council members, or however, we can bet best touch the community maybe from the ANC commissions a list of things that the Commission's have identified that they're that they know of personally, or that their residents have told them about, where if you want to have a blitz, and you want to have safety measures installed, make the list and then we're going to press the list on on DDOT until it gets done. This other thing that they're doing like my my children who are abroad, but they still use expressions that I don't I'm not aware of it's me Ah, man met on what they proposed, except the additional of they have a new name for them. But you know, crossing guards, more crossing guards. I'm very happy about that. But could you all who are commissioners, and I know we have many commissioners here. Do that on your respective Commission's Commissioner Gore, for example. I'd like to see such a thing. And then I don't want to hear this committee doesn't want to hear that you have these outstanding needs for safety immediately, especially around schools. And they're not getting done in a blitz. And you're doing these other things in a blitz. I'm not gonna say anymore, because I know my my colleagues have have questions for the witnesses today. And I believe I'm still following my water that I had before, which means councilmember Lewis George, you're up first.
