We have a public comment this evening from Andy Draw. Andy, when you come up, you have two minutes, sir. Um it will start after you give us your address. My name is Andy Dry. I live at 525 Parent Drive. And I just want to say again, I love this city. Uh voted today, and it was a reminder of just how grateful I am for each other one of you for your service to our city and all the other public servants that are on the ballot. I wanted to mention just how special I feel like the car-free zone is in Morgan Square. It's one of the things that first kind of caught our attention when we started hanging out in Spartanburg. It's a place that we bring our family and our friends and uh people who talked to us about possibly joining us here in Spartanburg. And I thought since the project has been delayed, I would uh on behalf of Strong Town Spartanburg, which is a people-oriented sort of uh advocacy group that we're a part of. Uh we're just encouraging perhaps the consideration of expanding the car-free nature or going back to uh the plans that that made even more space for pedestrians. I think it's just really special to have that kind of plaza uh you know, pedestrian people-oriented place at the center at the heart of the city. It's just really cool. And it seemed like maybe uh Morgan Square was like getting put on the back burner. So I thought I'd stand up and just like say thumbs up to Morgan Square when the time comes. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Thank you. See it for public comments. Wow. Item six. Item six. Let me let me stop. Item six update on the uh row infrastructure improvement. Presenter tonight, yes, Mr. Travis Brown, Spanbrook County Public Works Director. Thank you. Let's see. So thank you.
