a test of the vision and leadership of this council
Meeting Date:
Motion to Remove Active Transportation Infrastructure from Broadway Project
I think it's worth mentioning that cities all over the world are making much more bold changes than even this to prioritize active transportation. And as a result are seeing very clearly what we heard from Dr. Melissa Lim yesterday, that if you build it, they will ride. Safe active transportation on Broadway could happen within our term.
And I feel really strongly that if we don't build it now, we will regret it. It's a major question of the type of city that we want to create and a test of the vision and leadership of this council.
