Dear Mayor Harmon and Members of the Council,
There is a PEM Manual (Public Engagement Manual) that provides guidance for noticing when proposed
actions will affect residents of particular areas or city-wide. Noticing is not just for supporters of a particular
action, it is for everyone who may be affected.
The recent re-striping of Laurel Lane is an example; noticing of the proposal occurred and two neighborhood
meetings were held for residents of the area before the lane reduction and re-striping occurred. So I was quite
surprised to see Laurel Lane mentioned in Tier 2.
I was also surprised to see Flora Street listed in Neighborhood Greenway. Flora Street does not receive cut-
through traffic. It is currently both walkable (as evidenced by all ages who walk there daily) and bikeable for
all ages and biking abilities. Its inclusion for change is puzzling. Its inclusion for change without direct
neighborhood noticing and involvement is also puzzling.
Sincerely,
Sandra Rowley
SLO Resident
