Regardless, staff said two westbound lanes were needed. It was stated publicly and several hundred people heard it.

The FD said they would “consider Alternative 3” which was a reversal of their prior statement.  They also stated they were given little inclusion in the Complete Streets guidelines. [b]Hopefully a FOIA will flesh out why their position changed[/b]. City staff stated  the hospital wanted two westbound lanes. For some reason, staff didn’t want it include that in the council packet, they stated it during a public meeting.

The TPB vote would have been 4-3 for for four lanes with a full vote. Staff was not legally obligated to present Alternative 1.

And there is a difference between anonymous comment and union, police and hospital employees being told they are not permitted to speak on the issue. Thankfully the NY FD union just spoke out publicly. [/quote]

Probably because they were terrified of retaliation by the dreaded, all-powerful Bicycle Lobby.

Is there a way the bike lobby use its  might to hire a decent superintendent of schools?  With all their muscle they may be the only group able to improve the schools. [/quote]
