Thank you. Is there any public comment on this item? None. Please cast your votes. As we move on to the next item, we officially have passed the land use element meeting from last week on time, which which I didn't think was possible, but we always find a way. Next item 29. Report from Public Works Recommendation to. Award a contract to a tool design group for preparation of a Systemic. Safety Analysis Report program and a Vision Zero Action Plan and an amount not to exceed 199,817 citywide. There's a motion I just briefly. I know I know that it's late, but can we just please get vision zero is actually really important. And can we kind of come back and give the council an update? Because I really think that we've spent some time talking about Vision Zero and can I maybe a status on how the action plan is going? Can we do that? Mr. BECK Yes, Mayor, we can, but why don't you just give me 30 seconds? Because this this initiates the program. Really, what we're asking this evening is to allow us to hire a consultant. The consultant is going to do a number of community meetings and help us develop a Vision Zero plan. So what we will be bringing back to council when we have that plan is how we plan on approaching achieving a Vision Zero, which for the audience means that we would have no pedestrian deaths from vehicle accidents. Excellent. Thank you. Any public comment on this item saying none, are it? Please, cash? Yes. Can I go? Thank you. I also want to just highlight how great this is that we are finally hiring a consultant. I know Mr. Beck knows how important Vision Zero is to me and my constituents in my district. We've had a handful of incidents and two deaths in my district since I've been in office. And so I was wondering if you could clarify for us just quickly what a safety analysis report program specifically analyzes on traffic safety. Thank you. At 1215 in the morning. It's okay. Welcome back. Back in two months. No, I can I can tell you that now, essentially, Vision Zero starts by looking at the data, and the data will show us where the most dangerous intersections are in the city. So that's the start. And then we'll take that information out to the community and start identifying where we have our most dangerous intersections and. Improvements at those intersections. Thank you very much. Thank you. Please cast your votes. Motion carries.
