I'd just like to take a minute to thank our director, Mr. for, you know, for public works. You know, it's always been an incredible job since he, you know, started working with our city for the last two years ago. And this item is just one example of his excellent leadership and skills. Now I want to thank him for working with me and on the projects, for taking the time to listen to the needs of our residents. And I want to thank you again, Mr.. Thank you, Councilmember. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. And I also want to provide my endorsement that I know that this stretch of street crosses the six well, its borders on the seventh and the sixth. So there was always some confusion by the residents as to who the street was. But I'm glad to see this project moving forward. Thank you. And Councilmember Austin. Because I'm happy to support this project. I actually travel that street quite often and we had a notice just the other day. The the some of the repairs going on on Magnolia and not on spring. And now to Mary, that that brought those projects together, I think is actually excellent. And I think I would applaud the city engineer for, for his fortuitous thought in guiding you through this process. Councilmember Andrews And you. Can see no public comment on the item. Please cast your votes. And 30. The motion carries six zero. Okay. We're going to move on to two new business now for announcements. And I want to begin by adjourning our meeting tonight in the memory of two bright, young Long Beach residents who both lost their lives recently. It's been both have been difficult for the community.
