Alex SpehrSpeaker in favor, but asks to check businesses and direction of travel like daycare drop off.
#Thushan!!!!! is next. Very in favor. Wants his kids to be able to play in streets and be out and about and visible.
Then me. My kid bikes now and I don't want to have to run to catch up so I have to bike too, but I don't want to die.
Remote speaker Ashley. In favor of keeping all barricades.
Cindy of #BikeWalkAlameda reiterates their letter.
Remote speaker Jim says people didn't have a video camera or microphone during covid (does guy have a 20 year old computer?) so they couldn't protest slow streets.
Remote speaker Jay rants about bureaucrats. "Most people don't ride bikes" ..."bicycle haven" "I don't like being negative, but <insults staff>"
