Public safety measures in the city of Boston. Thank you, Mr. Clarke. The chair recognizes Council President Flynn. Council President. Fine. You have the floor. Thank you, Tom Silver. And. This would be a hearing to discuss the process of double decker sightseeing bus. But it's really an opportunity for us to learn more about safety challenges a double decker bus has in the city. This is not to stop the operation of a double decker bus, but it's to get some clarification on making sure that everybody is safe. Tourists, the driver, pedestrians. When there is a double decker bus, a lot of them, we see them around. We see tourists in downtown Boston on a lot of sightseeing busses. But I'm just I just want to make sure that we present and provide the best safety for everybody. And that includes those that go on double decker busses. It's an issue we haven't focused much attention on. So this is something that's important to make sure that double decker busses are safe. And I'm looking forward to learning more about the process of keeping everybody safe. That would use the double decker bus. Thank you, Mr. Councilor. Thank you. Council President Flynn, would anyone else speak on this matter? Chair recognizes Councilor Coletta. Thank you. Please add my name. I just want to thank the baker for sponsoring this and calling attention to this issue. My district sees over 2 million people, visitors to the North End in Charlestown.
