Motion carries. Thank you. Item 11 Please. Report from Public Works recommendation to authorize a city manager to execute a public walkways occupancy permit with sidewalk extension parklet for sidewalk dining at Pine Avenue Parklet located at 440450 and 454. Pine Avenue District one. Thank you. Staff report. Please. Deputy Director of Public Works, Sean Crombie. Good evening, Honorable Mayor Council. Item 11 on the agenda is a request to approve a parklet within the sidewalk dining program at the addresses of 440450 and 454 Pine Avenue. The PARKLET program is in place to allow restaurants to occupy a portion of the public right away for seating that has multi benefits to the community, in that it provides extra seating for the restaurant, but it also activates space within our public right away. It's been a very successful program. This particular parklet is a little bit unique, first of its kind, because it's the first parklet that's shared between between three different businesses, shared space. So with that, I'm available to answer any questions that you have. Thank you. Councilwoman Gonzalez. I just wanted to acknowledge Tony Shoshone, who's here. He's really worked very closely with public works, as well as our office in revitalizing what was formerly known as City Place, which is now the street. So I thank you, Tony, as well as Shawn, Crumby and Public Works. Thank you for working through many of our parklet questions. We look forward to continuing our work together. Thank you. Thank you. Councilmember Pierce. Also the same. Congratulations. You guys have really helped transform our downtown and so thank you for all the work and always things to stop for thinking outside of the box on our PARKLET program. Thank you.
