Before we get to the latest testing results, ive got a few announcements and updates on what weve been up to. Before i do that, i want to give Sheila Oliver a shoutout who is running the d. C. A. As fast as furiously as ever before, the Lieutenant Governor and i made a decision some number of days ago that we would div
Lieu of the project sponsor constructing a new wholesale flower market. Should the flower market vendors and management exercise this option, the project variant would then contain about 2 million square feet of office, 91,000 square feet of retail, 23,000 square foot childcare facility and 950 square foot Community Facility and lower amounts of parking, loading but increased bicycle Parking Spaces and an increased approximately 38,000 square feet of Public Open Space. So how would they repurpose the ground floor that was once thought of as a flower market site . So with this design, what they would do is first they would widen the pedestrian to increase the amount of open space.

Again given that this is on a puc its my understanding under the rules that are in place this would not require a permit. Quick question. Do you have verizon or at t . I wish i had verizon during the Power Outages because it sounds like it was working better. [laughter] thank yo

I think that stormwater regulation does matter for people, especially when its raining and things are flooding. Thats a huge reason, so im wondering if this body could help with translating how some of this work shows up in peoples daytoday lives. And part of that could be with the universitys developing scorecards on why those things matter that can be easily disseminated and digested by the community. And the other thing is just metrics impact. Thinking through one of the things i was thinking is interesting theres already a lot of what you mentioned here, too, in terms of goals and items that Treasure Island is delivering on, but i still dont know what those things are and what they actually mean. We talk about carbon sequester, but what does that mean to people . I guess, like, what is the baseline in like, lead m. D. . Is everybody doing
