Hi. I was just wondering the cost of taking down the bike trails and I'm wondering why that was done. Let me give you the history on that. Austin street was being repaired for water and drainage. The neighborhood and the city council said, well, they've never functioned well. The bike lanes, they were too in opposite directions. That's a one way street. So it was a danger. (18:22–18:28)
