Community council on this. Personally, I, personally, I support both routes, but as a business owner, the southern run is the only one that makes sense. The borough can't afford $30 million, much more than they can't afford $9 million, but if we're going to take a hit, let's take a $9 million hit instead of a $30 million hit. Um, I'm willing to have anybody over that wants to come and talk to me about it. We can go walk the route and see what it looks like so you guys can make an informed decision.
