Association, is the perfect opportunity to organize as people want to, with small or larger groups in their immediate neighborhood. This is a free program where people can create their own associations within their own neighborhoods. Anyone can be a part of it. And really, it's just neighbors helping neighbors. The whole idea is the city and the the people work together for the best of the city. That's all right there. I love Vacaville. I've lived here my whole life. I want to be a part of the community. The main thing that we're trying to do is make sure people understand what's happening around our area. The benefit of somebody joining a Vacaville Neighborhood Association really is it helps create a safe community within your neighborhood. This really is a way for, your communities to energize and get involved within the city of Vacaville. The value of vna is huge. There are grant programs. There are resources with the city. It's really, really helpful because sometimes we don't know how to organize. And so having help from the city like Rica and Alyssa to guide us, to offer ideas. And then there's, support, like the banners that we had made and things that give us just the, the bits and pieces that we can't do on our own. Really, this is just the city of Vacaville facilitating conversations between neighbors. It's like a really nice kind of, friendship is great. I love it. Realize they have a neighborhood. They're not just in a house on a street. They have people around them to enrich their lives. Maybe. Or just have fun with, you know? I would say join one if it already exists or become a co-chair or become a member. And help the person that's actually spearheading it, because it's just going to help the whole community. I think it's going to bring us together. I think people are going to say, I want to be a part of what you're doing. I want to help you, especially when they see the value in it. And I firmly believe that it makes our neighborhood safer. Transportation project that began in the year 2000 with this Solano Transportation Authority, and it really envisions the, reconstruction of an existing two lane roadway to a four lane parkway from State Route 12 in Suisun, through Fairfield, and then to the city of Vacaville all the way north to Interstate Route 80. There are over 20,000 daily trips that are taken along this section of the Jepson Parkway. This project creates these improvements. The construction of a center median-landscaped. On the west side, meandering pedestrian and bike trail, as well as improvements to sewer line and storm drainage, in addition to striping and lighting along the new parkway. The funding for this project comes from three sources local transportation impact fee, sewer impact fee and federal funds. Congestion and moving transportation and goods, as well as people commuting through this particular area of Solano County has always been an issue. This two lane parkway, which was Leisure Town Road being reconstructed to the four lane, has releaved an incredible amount of stress in terms of the commute as well as the congestion. I would like to thank the Public Works Engineering team, design team, as well as our construction team, our accounting staff, as well as the public for their patience during this time. What we have now is a brand new parkway that we all can be proud of.
