 Good morning, everyone. Welcome. We're happy to have everybody out here this morning. This is a great day for the city of Fort Worth for transportation options for vision zero for safety and the next level of incarnation of transportation in the in greater Fort Worth. And we're happy to be here today at really the western side of the region's transit hub to christen and inaugurate our first red bus lane here in the city of Fort Worth. This is actually still considered an experimental treatment by the federal government. But city of Fort Worth regional transportation innovation team of transportation public works worked really hard with transportation management division and trendy metro to get this thing over the the goal line. So it's been even though it just seems like it's paint and it took probably about a couple days to get it done. Guess what? It's actually took a couple years to actually get through some of the red tape. No pun intended. Total pun intended. So we're happy to be here today. This is the first of a pilot of hopefully other innovations that you're going to see in the city trying to make transportation safer, more accessible and reliable, especially when you think about transit in our rapidly growing city and region. So we're really, really fortunate to have such a supportive director, TPW and assistant city manager and really blessed all of us are blessed to have such a supportive council. And with not further ado, I'd like to go and introduce Elizabeth Beck, council member district nine and a fellow planner. So she gets this stuff. Thank you. Well, first of all, let me say good morning. And I really want to start off by thanking everybody that helped make this bus lane possible. So if we could all just give the staff that made this possible a big round of applause for all of your hard work. So we know that our city is expected to grow by about 20,000 people annually. So that means in about five years, we'll have approximately 100,000 new residents here in the city of Fort Worth. And many of them will come right through our intermodal transit center here to catch a bus to travel either to and from downtown or other parts of the city. And as we prepare for that future, we want to make sure that we are providing a safe and reliable system for them to travel on. And what you see here today in this red bus lane is a step towards that future. This red bus lane isn't just paint, and it's not just an experiment, but it is our commitment to provide that reliable service. So we will keep our buses moving. We will keep our pedestrian safer, and we will keep our cars on the road all with some paint that we laid down to make sure that we are getting ahead of the game in our transportation system. The city of Fort Worth will make clear that this is part of the innovation that you will continue to see for years to come across all of our departments, but particularly in TPW as we try to to fit all of those new residents in without creating additional headaches for those of us that love Fort Worth and call it home. So it is my honor to be part of the project that got to literally paint our town red. And so with that, I would like to invite staff to join me as we cut the ribbon of our inaugural red bus lane.
