Steve is here if you have any questions. That's basically what we've done before, in it. And Aaron, this just came up that I just saw it for first time this afternoon. You want no parking signs put out? Yes, maybe that's what we're talking about. I mean, I think what they need to do though is just the barricades there on the front of the one at Bantries and Walnut, you know, where they can't come down there or go up. Yeah, on each end because we've never shut that road down before. We always had uh cars going through there, and that's what you're wanting, aren't you? Right to shut the road down. Like it from Walnut and Ban Trees. Yes. The only thing I request is keeping north north, I mean the east and west bound lanes open on Ban Trees and Walnut where they can, you know, they will be. Yeah. Yeah. And I've went to that event, and we've had people sitting out there close to the road, and there's cars go by on 7th Street. It makes it, you know, it makes it kind of close. I think it would just be safe. Yeah, yeah. Do we have any driveways? There is some driveways on both of those blocks, um, mostly between uh band trees and walnut, but then those people are got they they're usually participating in the event. And this is a good week to do it. You've got schools out, and there's that parking lot there, and also any of those neighbors have any problems with it by doing this. I don't think so.
