If we could just get a brief update from the Director of Public Works regarding what this project is, how long it's been going, and what the next phase looks like. Craig Beck. Good evening, council member, members of city council. This is a shuttle system that was put in place in mid to late November of last last year. It was done to try to address some of the parking impacts that. We were experiencing in the Seaport Marina Village area. It was a grant that came to us from the county. And this is really the paperwork to allow us to. Recoup the costs that we have fronted as a city organization. It was a one year pilot program, which we are tracking the number of riders and the experience that they are having and how it alleviates the parking issues. That we experienced. And so that's the item that you have before you this evening. Thank you. And I want to take a moment to thank staff and, of course, some of the business owners in Alamitos Bay Landing who made this a reality. From what I've been told from some of the the business owners in that vicinity, this shuttle program has really alleviated the parking that was very impacted when Ballast Point opened . That parking lot is now very much usable. Usable. And it was not for a while because of the number of people driving around looking for parking spots. And I'm hoping that this is a program that we can actually expand, perhaps later down the road as a pilot into other areas, maybe Belmont Shore. I think encouraging people to ride together to destinations that are impacted from a parking perspective is a really great idea. And I want to thank our city staff for working collaboratively with the county and of course our county supervisors office for helping with the financing to make this happen. This is an excellent project and I felt that it was worthy of a special attention. So thank you very much. Thank you. Any public comment on this item saying none. Members, please go ahead and cast your votes. Motion carries.
