Than to flood the glen park station. Im just wondering if that has been explored. Some of our riders they just want the quickest route. I think its a great point. We could anticipate customers that are ambivalent between the enjuda, or the 44. Thats part of the customer information that well make available. We also will have this loaded into the next bus, so the trip planner should also help People Choose the faster route for them. In addition, the k line service will bring people to balboa park b. A. R. T. And the m line bus service, folks dont want to go inbound can go outbound to balboa park b. A. R. T. But those are long trips with stops.

Storefronts are vai cants or abandoned. A number we thought would be relatively easy to get. But it was not in a number of reports and measures made by both city agencies and, of course, private sector real estate companies. But none of them capture the totality of all commercial buildings and storefronts and their vacancy rates. We can get certainly a lot of information about downtown commercial properties and their van can si rates and we can get commercial spaces throughout the city that are not receiving mail. The office of economic and Workforce Development does just commercial storefronts. But for 24 commercial corridors only. So, it is still not the citywide rate. On this chart, you can see some of the rates that are reported and tracked. Oewd reported 5 as a whole for the 24 quarters they track. 8. 2 by the city controller for commercial vacancies downtown in 2016. And the u. S. Postal service, as i mentioned, which ....
Questions you might have. Thank you. Thank you very much for that overview. I know that our office work add lot on the registry issue.

I really like the suggestions that were offered in this report. Supervisor fewer . Thank you very much. I just have one question. You mentioned that the city of chicago charges a vacancy property Registration Fee every since months if property is vai cants with higher fees charged if the property is reported by complaint rather than selfreported by the owner. Cefjs im wondering has the city of chicago spaoefrntion add decline in vacant stor ....
