i'm so happy to be back here in plymouth today for a special announcement from our administration called the shared streets and spaces program that was originated in june of 2020 as we came out of covid and trying to help communities think about their outdoor spaces in a different way to help businesses especially restaurants trying to solve for getting people back out to dine and to gather in their communities the shared streets and spaces program literally said let's use parking spaces yet let's use sidewalks yet let's use parking lots in a better way to get people back out again in a safe way and now here we are two years later 50 million dollars to almost 500 projects and today we announced 16 million dollars for 138 communities and plymouth is receiving 274 thousand dollars to address a congested area near their schools so we're helping to solve problems with programs like this for our communities and keeping safety in mind keeping access in mind and in this case something that started two years ago and covet has become permanent and it's working [Music] 00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:06.789 align:start position:0% 00:00:06.789 --> 00:00:09.589 align:start position:0%
