“Thank you. Full disclosure, I guess, I live near this intersection, so very familiar with it. But I'm curious, thank you for providing the renderings. So I'm trying to compare that to what's in our agenda packet here. So there's going to be a center turn lane going both directions on Hunt. And then, sorry, I'm just trying to make sure I'm tracking kind of what is changing about this.”

I also really appreciate that you've included like market dynamics too, because there's only so many levers we as a city and as a municipality can pull.
