Wow, so hopefully they start water this whole and street construction in the springs next spring. So we have um we're gonna redo East Overland in front of Sugar Factory. That'll be all concrete. That's a real bad stretch there. We're gonna finish that out. Um we're gonna do West Overland for Broadway Avenue V. That'll be concrete, sidewalk, they didn't improvements. Um the twenty-first and twenty-seventh street intersection out east of the college. It's really rudded past, so we're gonna rehab that intersection give it that running. And then we're gonna do the Avenue I BNS at approach, basically both sides of the track further out from what the railroad's wonderful job is right there. So those are the one years, those are the ones we anticipate this year that we'll go we have funding for, or there are other sources of funding. The sixth year, a couple of the important ones, or hopefully important someday. East Overland, that's one we have in the books to get done with rest of East Overland. Um we have South Built line east all the way up to the highway on there. It's not the cities yet, but we anticipate someday getting that annexed, so we have that on there just to show. Um there hasn't been much interest of them lately, but we leave them on there just because they could be done. Any questions? Um the the first two Delta Drive and the thirty-six, that's uh menards and uh related to Minards and Schwaber. It's just the short section going into the old menards about two hundred feet of paper. So are those is that similar? I I can't I don't recall that similar to the new sh like the next two that are newer or newer streets. Do they have paving districts that pay for that or does it develop? Those were developer paid. Um Avenue M, I think there are still searching options for that. Um eighteenth Avenue, that won't be a district assessment there. Yes, yes, West 36, yes, that was good. They'll turn those over to us. Oh, yes. Yes, okay. It helps with drainage and the A improvements. Much longer better elastic street. Okay. Yep, I have the map of the one in six street plan and then also Deb's explanation of the one and six street.
