Music playing. Excuse me. Music playing. The best way to answer that, I think, is to recognize that the city and the MPTA are starting a relationship with this agreement and all future agreements. And there are so many of those types of issues that you will want to develop policies about, communication about, and coordination about. This agreement does not address that type of situation. Gotcha. I think that's something we should think about because this is the legal framework for risk, and this is absolutely needed. But when we think about risk mitigation, just over the last five years, the events that have happened on the light rail or with the trains and bearings and things of that nature, just the overall risk mitigation from an operational perspective, I think we need to have some conversations around that and keep that top of mind. That's it, Madam Mayor. Thank you. All right. Ms. Johnson and then following Mr. Graham. Thank you, Madam Mayor. And Council Member Anderson, I loved your question. So we did say that the employees wouldn't be harmed. But if an employee works for the city, there's lots of opportunity for advancement, just being an internal employee. So I think if we could think about the employees that are being transferred, if they have some type of priority for hiring in the city, if they would apply for a city job maybe the first two years or something like that, if we could think about that. Because while they might not be harmed currently, where they wou …

needed to say that so thank you for for that update. It's mayfield thank you. Thank you for the presentation.

It would be nice to know currently how many projects that are state responsibility that we have. We know that we have been having conversation since four years of north tryon in the steele creek area. There's been conversations there's been some work that has been done along the mount holly hunter's road and they've had to do some realignments already on that.

So as we look to believe that this will give us an opportunity to address some of these, the current needs still need to be identified. So I have an idea of how many unfunded roads in this beautiful little map would be helpful for me. I also want to understand because you gave a couple of different options of potential development like if we look at the modernized bridges and interchanges I thi . >> good afternoon, everyone.
