So I think that's really germane to this as well.
37:45
Yeah.
37:46
And so I already had a lot of footage.
37:48
You know, things have been positive.
37:50
It's pretty much a permanent thing.

They're going through a redesign to redesign the plazas on the street.

It was all about support of that street.

And it's really interesting the way that you have put people in front of the camera who are, you know, not just... people who have government titles and so forth, but just regular folks all over the world who have insisted on a better place for themselves and made it happen.

So what are some of your favorite, uh, pedestrian and, and cyclist, uh, improvements that you're seeing in, uh, London right now?
12:11
Well, London is really big on not only bicycle lanes and bike, bikeways.
12:18
They, they used to call them bike superhighways, but now they've-Term that down to some other different options.
12:24
And they're doing the same thing with something called low traffic neighborhoods, uh, LTNs for short, and they're also renaming those a little bit.
12:32
But essentially, a low traffic neighborhood is you take a grid of streets and you find a way to keep the traffic on the exterior of that neighborhood, and that's called a boundary r- boundary road.
12:43
The boundary road is designed so that it will take this traffic, but a lot of people are complaining that live on the boundary road, "Well, you know, I don't want the traffic." But the truth is, is when you look at the studies that have been shown, uh, the, the traffic within the neighborhoods reduces greatly, but the traffic on the boundary roads does not.
13:05
It's either the same or it dips just a little.
14:46
Are there other more specific things that you've filmed internationally that you would love to see New York City bring to our streets?
