Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. So, unless there's a real e here present and if people from the public are able to stay throughout these entire meetings, all of you should be able to stay through them, too. Um, for example, if I
wanted to speak from home, I want to be able to do that. So, in order to be fair with the public, you all should be present as well. And that's all I have to say. >> Thank you. Thank you, David. Any other speakers? >> No. >> No. >> Meeting adjourned. Thank you.
>> Okay. To stay safe as you navigate through our city, always use designated crosswalk when crossing the street. Wait for the walk signal before stepping up. Make sure approaching drivers see you and have enough time to stop. Avoid distraction and keep your eyes on your
surroundings. And when walking at night, wear bright and reflective clothing to make yourself visible to drivers. Let's make our street safer for everyone one step at a time.
