Item 8
Dear Council,
Just an observation:
$1 Billion worth of CIP projects, including more than $100 million for bikes, and not a single word about improving
disability access and pedestrian maintenance work in the public right of way.
As I pointed out in my recent comments to you on the Active Transportation Plan, the city is woefully deficient in this area
(safe and accessible pedestrian PROW) and has tens of million$ of backlog it needs to fix, and your present adopted
policies impede rather than promote this work.
How about showing your concern for pedestrian safety and the inclusive mobility of persons with disabilities by making
THIS an explicit and urgent near-term line item in your CIP?
Richard Schmidt
