encourage the council to adopt this bold plan. This will be an extremely meaningful improvement for
people who use active transportation to reclaim the public right of way to adhere to social distancing. I
believe many of these temporary changes have high potential to become permanent in some fashion
when people see the benefits of having safer and more spacious streets. What an amazing opportunity
to experiment with various ideas that safe streets advocates have been promoting.
