in favor of continued downtown street closure

Dear Council,

With this topic on the agenda for Tuesday, I’d like to reiterate my support for keeping the 600 block downtown as it is—closed on one side with a bike lane, and one-way on the other.
Pedestrian-friendly spaces have played a key role in revitalizing downtowns across the country. There are those who would prefer to return our shared public spaces to fast-moving car traffic alone, but that’s not how I envision a vibrant downtown.

Thank you,

John Donald
