Hello, Three years ago the planning commission listened to those of us who live in the Anholm neighborhood, and said no to this project. A few weeks later the city council under "Mayor' Harmon, hosted a circus of a meeting, totally disregarding what the planning commission, and the majority of citizens at the meeting wanted. This evening on next door I opened a discussion about this very dangerous plan ...

And this suite photo of a little kid riding along this two way bike path is so deceiving. In our neighborhood, especiia[ly on Chorro, between IMission and Lincoln, there are many driveways. People will be backing out their driveways, cross two opposing lanes of the bike line and into busy traffic,.. "whatcould possibly go wrong!?! Someone willl get hurt. When the discussions over this project were evolving, many of us recommended the bike path to go over to Lincoln/West, which would be safer and cheaper, but it was said it would add ONE minute to the commute.

I will continue to bike commute downtown via Lincoln, not Chorro. Why? It's wide, no cars, and no stop signs,. Lincoln, is also receiving traffic calming measures. All these add up to a route that is safer, cheaper, and less disruptive to those living on Chorro. 241,n 14P 1 Like Reply Share Bob Mourenza Arflhdi n Can't wait to see garbage days 1""1ri Vi 1 Like, Reply Share 0 Connie Bruton -Anhuln,i 1 doubt that City stuff read the comments on next-door so if we could get all these comments to the city Council for tomorrow's nights meeting it would be wonderful.

I wrote to Derrick Johnson asking what that data was for and could the public be apprised of it. His reply to me was that he didn't know about any cameras. They were up for a rnonth! The people that came, to collect them were driving a city car. My neighbors and I were commenting how many people does it take to take down one camera? Would love to see that information before this bike lane goes forward. 1 Like Reply, Share Carol Guenther Fori a K4r� �,Iov,f,% The city council majority, who voted for this use of our city tax doflars listened to NO voices at the city council meetings addressing safety, traffic, and blind driveways.
