Madam President, members of the board, board bill 92 is uh ordinance that um surrounds uh several gas stations um on north broadway.

One of them is Loves, and if you're driving down I 70, you'll see it has a uh McDonald's and a subway, and another is mobile.

Um, due to the diligence of the auto woman from the 11th in closing off most of uh O'Fallon Park, the young people who like to hang out have transferred their affections for O'Fallon Park to the gas station.

So we are having to close a street caller OEDA and another part of uh a Pope in order to uh get people young people from hanging out there because they come after they've been to parties and things are on the weekends and they just hang out and they've made it um hard to do business there.

So we are closing the street OEDA between East Clarence and Pope, and we make the corrections in the four substitute because it says pose instead of Pope.

And then we did not put in the original board bill, the amount of feet north of Broadway, and now we have a hundred and feet.

We're gonna close the street on Pope 100 feet north of Broadway so that they cannot go behind the gas stations and create havoc.

And I wish we could find some place for these young people to go.

Um, I don't want to keep moving them out of the way.

I'm hoping that we find some place that they can have fun, but that does not interfere with the businesses, and that is why we are closing these two streets off because they are interfering with business and making it uh dangerous for some people to be there.

Alder Woman from the 12th, do you want to make a motion to perfect board bill 92 floor sub?
