I just wanted to thank the chair of transportation. Thank you very much, Councilmember Peterson, for all of your work. Obviously, this is something that we would like to see as routine legislation. But in these times especially, you've stepped up to identify other sources of possible revenue and working in partnership to find federal dollars for key city projects through. That is something I've been really excited to be working with you on. So thank you for this effort and for the other efforts that you're doing to try to identify more revenue sources for critical infrastructure projects. Thank you, Casper Mosquito Council member Herbold. It's so much. In addition to thanking the chair for bringing this legislation forward, I want to thank Scott for answering the questions that I had in committee about the status of this project, which is so exciting. It's advancing from 90% to 100% design, with construction planned to get underway by the fourth quarter of this year. This is a really high priority project for folks in District one who are seeking bike access between West Seattle, downtown and SODO. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Humboldt.
