car from getting towed. i'll explain and how we can serve the city better. the way code tech work is you can register your license plate with our service. if anybody sees your car parked in a bad way, for example, it's blocking a driveway or your headlights are left on, they can send a text message to your phone via the license plate [speaker not understood] skew me. to improve our service, we need to access the city's towing data in real time so that curb text can automatically send -- automatically and instantly text people to alert them that their car has been officially targeted for towing by the city or will be targeted for towing by the city in the event of sunday streets, for example. another example is when a parking control officer radios for a tow and the dispatcher records that plate number, at that moment we'd like to know the plate number. then we'd be giving that person a chance to move their car before the tow truck arrives. if they can't move it, at least they'll know what happened to it and where they can go to retrieve it as soon as possible

cable cars were a lot more energy efficient. they were very popular in cities all across the united states, including chicago. and they really took over in san francisco because cable cars could climb hills were horses couldn't, opening up development in parts of the city where before there hadn't been any. but cable cars had their drawbacks, too. a cablecar can only go nine miles an hour, as fast as the cable under the street pulling it. cables have a hard time pulling backwards, changing direction, investing in the infrastructure to put the cable in the street is very costly. so you have a lot of upfront costs. if a company wanted to run just one cable car, they had to start up the power house to get the cable car rung through the street. so it energy efficient issues as well. this is an interest street car. that was the new modern, exciting form of transportation. it was very energy efficient. each street car only used enough energy from the wires that it needed. it didn't have to run a power house. people were a little scared of them at first. the technolog

city spends. on the cost side every year collisions between pedestrians and cars cost the city an average of $15 million and district 7 trails only district 6, three and four in how much the collisions cost the city. on the spending side i want to make sure as a city we are making smart investments based on data, and that we try to coordinate among the many city agencies under which these matters fall, so that we are efficient, coordinated and effective. finally i think that pedestrian safety is a community issue. people of district 7 know where improvements needed and today by looking at the data that the city departments are presenting and listening to the public comments i think we are able to get a real sense of the needs of the district. there will be several departments that will be presenting. i'm going to do this a little bit differently. i'm going to ask most of the departments that are involved to do the presentation. then i'm going to ask for public comments, and then i will ask for the transportation authority to make their presentation as the last piece of this before i question -- we can q
