Were enhancing crosswalks around the city. Were bolding out sidewalks to make crossing distances smaller. Were using automated were using red lighten forcement, photo red lighten forcement. A lot of things that many of the planners and engineers at the mta are doing to try to make the city safer, and will be the ones in whose hands a lot of the execution of the pedestrian strategy lies. So, i do want to acknowledge tim popandreo who leads our Long Range Planning who is leading the development of the strategy. Bridget smith who leads our a group we call livable streets. And these are the planners and the engineers that actually do the planning and design work to put this stuff in the ground. And they operate under the leadership of vaughan yee, a legend in the public rightsofway in San Francisco who leads our
