Wayne,
I suppose there is always more we can do to encourage citizen participation, and I appreciate the open response to
those who claimed to be unaware of the zoom meeting. The quality of the information provided in the link in this email
and the presentation by the consultants at the meeting this week as well as the time devoted to hearing responses
from the community is appreciated.
I, like James Lowenthal and the two young business owners who spoke toward the end of the zoom call, feel excited by
the vision the design team is exploring - including the width alloted for cars and trucks. It is disappointing to hear
David Murphy say something like - it doesn't matter how many studies you present, business owners will never support
elimination of two lanes of traffic. That remark represents, in my view, a terribly short sighted and an anti-evidence
based perspective that is almost laughable if it were not so dangerously reactionary. I look forward to supporting the
best thinking about how to create a Main Street that, as Bill Dwight referenced, becomes a wonderful place for the
community and visitors to gather.
With Appreciation,
Freeman Stein
