Getting the following error while starting course-introductory-workshop.
The workarounds what I tried:
1. Renamed the folder course-introductory-workshop to course-introductory-workshop1 and then recloned the repo and restarted the server.
2. removed the file "./.ipynb\_checkpoints/par-checkpoint.txt"
I believe the "gs://kx-academy-course-introductory-workshop/taxi" not getting the data from the server.

Hi @k_valee , Can you restart your server and test again?
You can do this on Jupyterhub by going to **File\> Hub Control Panel\> Stop My Server \> Start My Server**
Let me know if you're still experiencing issues afterwards.
