From the transcript
And, and I think that in just some of our initial conversations that we've had, that is a very common thing that's come up is in Seward, there seems to be two points of reference when you hear the word downtown. Some people are referring to the historic downtown where we are here, and some people use downtown to refer to the small boat harbor. And I think having a branded system where if you have a bunch of signs that look, uh, in uniform calling this place the historic downtown, and we can kind of brand it that way, like when when people say downtown, this is what they're referring to. And so, uh, so yeah, so it's not just about, you know, points that we want to get to, but the flow, how we want to get, you know, because you're coming from the Boat Harbor to Sea Life Center, there's a couple routes. You can go straight down 4th Avenue, but then you have a big hill to kind of go up, which some people might prefer the Waterfront Trail.
