i can tell you, in my neighborhood, which is rather hilly, those speed bumps have been installed, and specifically, on major arteries that are arteries the fire department does use to respond to emergency calls, and i'm sure you've discussed this, working with fire marshal dicosio. a fire truck or ambulance that's responding to an emergency call weighs something in the neighborhood of 40,000 to 50,000 pounds. hitting one of those speed bumps is causing horrible destruction to our vehicles, and that has been a concern. and i'm -- you know, i have that concern -- this is the very equipment that people rely upon that can get there as quickly as possible, and a truck costs over $1 million, and an engine costs about $600,000, and they can't get destroyed because they're bumping over speed bumps that are intended to slow me down, whereas i can just kind of go through the cutout hole if i don't want to slow down. so can you help me understand what your involvement is, either m.t.a.s or slow streets in that? >> yeah. the slow streets program is completely different than the speed bump program
