in favor say aye. Aye aye. Aye. Any opposed? And Commissioner Starkey C25.
Um yes, so this is uh the money that Senator Hooper uh got for us two years ago? I don't know. This is how long it takes. He kept asking where's the where are the projects, where are the projects. Um so uh it it takes a long time, but finally we are uh moving forward with the improvements on Trinity Boulevard. We're adding bike lanes on the sides and a few other things. So um I just wanna thank Senator Hooper uh for getting us this money and for these improvements
down in that area. It needs it desperately. And we're gonna continue to work with the um Pinellas County to look for improvements to move traffic smoother between the two counties. So with that I move approval.
Second. And I'll s I'm gonna support as well. I just want to make one comment to it. Years ago when we did Uh when Pinellas County did their part of that roadway, starting from Pinellas County over, they used a different formula for the asphalt than we did. So I would like us to work closely together and make sure theirs held up a bit better, so we'll make sure we're doing the best quality work we can do. And with that, all in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. Commissioner Weightman, C26.
