Main speakers done. Heading out.
The benefits are so high, Rasmussen says.
Rasmussen: Changing the physical layout can help so much, but there is SO MUCH push back. Citing the Nickerson Street Road Diet example. First road diet in the city, I believe. But after the change, very few complaints.
Ex-taxi driver: Drunk guy doesn’t care about signs and lights. Physical barriers are the thing. Farrell: Lots of issues here. DUI is part of it. But signs and lights help with other parts.
Rasmussen urging folks to tell their representatives that traffic safety matters. Let local governments decide what they need. (Like red light cameras a Five Corners, for instance).

Thanks for covering this! I wish I could’ve been there. I’m Glad to see road diets getting a mention, as they end up creating such a huge improvement for everyone (including drivers).
Nice work with the coverage. I would have liked to have seen this meeting taking place in their sanctuary!
Thanks for doing this live blog. We appreciate it. This enables us to share the details of the meeting with those who couldn’t be there.
Rebecca, thank you so much. I relied on your post to do a report which is on the Wedgwood Community Council page at wedgwoodcc.org I was taking notes with pen and paper! Your live-blog report helped me a lot.
