Thank you. Worship through you. I do have a question to Mr. Holme to help me understand. The Road, Covenant. I looked on attachment. I think it was B. And maybe I just needed a magnifying glass. But I was really struggling to understand just what that was intended to do and how it would work. Would you mind explaining

it for me. Yes, I'd be happy to attempt to do that. Thank you through your worship. If you could bring up attachment B, I'll try and highlight. Thank you. So what you can see is Metro Drive on the left. And then you can see hatched out a roadway. It says Road, Reserve, covenant. Faintly. You can see it outlined in red. Thank you. And that would carry through. Actually, you can see at the top. It says. Future Lane connection so there would be a driveway connection from Metro drive. Following through the future Lane Connection, which would head to the north towards woodgrove Secondary Urban Center. And through another development application, that Council. Is currently considering it's going through bylaw amendment process as well. There's an outlet to that future Lane connection. That would take place on Metro Drive near dunbar. So it creates. A redundant parallel laneway parallel to Metro Drive is the idea. To limit the extent of connections on Metro Drive and to provide those are quite deep. Lots. And to. Improve the development potential there. And to limit the number of connections on Metro Drive, we're creating a laneway through statutory right of way is the intent. Hopefully that helps. That's very helpful.
