South Belleview Avenue, Cineon, New Jersey. And we are glad to see and I'm standing on behalf of Miss Shepard who could not be here this evening to see that they started Gary Road to Wallace and continues and the only
question that we had was the sequence that it will be done so that the work in front of the farm will that be in a sequence so that will be sort of the last portion of it. Uh but mayor may Yes, please. So, my understanding is that they're going to be starting and
going all the way up to 130 sequentially. I mean, Chief, if I misspe, I know Joe's not here right now, but um what I could do for you, again, I always say this, uh we're putting Nixl out routinely from now to the completion
of the project with updates. Okay? And uh I really definitely advocate residents keep, you know, keep up with those those announcements. They'll be on our web page, but also uh I'll be happy to take a phone call. The police non-emergency number. There's going to
be changes during the project that even we don't anticipate. Okay. I'm just make it's going to happen. We're going to do the best we can, but weather permitting and you know, sometimes the crews can't get out there. We're going to do the best we can with updating the public, but if you're not
sure, check the website, give us a call. We'll be happy to update you. We're trying to minimize the impact on residents and vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic, ironically. Uh yes, but it it's going it's going to be it's going to be a long project and I think
as Mr. Cagress uh announced earlier, the contractor right now with some contingencies is looking at you know through November for this project. That sounds great. Okay. Okay. My and my question is at this time since the traffic is going to be slowed down and detourred, is it possible for
us to consider adding at least two more 25 mph signs along Union Landing Road? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Seeing no one else come forward. Okay,
seeing no one else come forward, may I have a motion to close public comment? I'll make a motion to close public comment. Thank you, deputy mayor. I will second. Voice vote, please. I I ns abstensions. Public comment is now closed. Uh do I have any comments from any of our committee members this
