West side of the sunset but i think for a citywide approach and i know our mta is looking at calming traffic hopefully limiting speed limits is a part of that strategy and one other bit of information that you gave besides the london uk study showing that over the the 20year period reducing traffic collisions by forty percent in their efforts i think thats an important piece of data and i think you said that study found that by reducing speed limits by one Miles Per Hour reduces the number of collisions by 5 percent. That is correct chair mar it was a separate study but it found looking at a number of citys experienced a reduction of 1 mile per hour in average speed resulted in a reduction.

If they continue to talk about ifs and butst as the speaker said doesnt get us anywhere. We havent seen anything from the House Republicans yet. Reporter so on budget talks, weve been there before.
