We sent out a whole bunch of questionnaires to the development community to respond it. What staff then did was go back out, get in touch with a bunch of other people.

don't. Know. Okay. Um, so okay. I'm going to vote in favor. I won't be around. When a lot of these sidewalks get built on council. But if anyone is, I'm very concerned that the cost of some of this stuff is going to be very, very high and will be realised in the affordability equation. And I think it should be not going to make any motions, but I think people should put it in their calendar to have
