Like, the two way conversion is in connect downtown. But so is a mobility lane the full length of commerce. It’s disappointing that safety plans are always treated as a ceiling and not the floor

Yeah if we were getting the third ave bike lane…

Getting rid of multi-lane one ways is generally safer though, no?

Is there a reason to dislike that conversion (aside from the changes in Commerce)?

I think it’s good when mayors lead efforts to fix citywide problems. Seems better than leaving individual CMs to fight entrenched, hyper-engaged special interests that will abandon democracy before they abandon exclusionary zoning mayor.baltimorecity.gov/news/press-r...

Nashville’s RN and RL zones try to give the NIMBYs their pound of flesh before they ever asked for it, and the result is yesterday’s solutions tomorrow (maybe!). And the NIMBYs are still mad!

We can’t replace the circulator. What we can do is recreate it in the aggregate

So wait. You’re saying that following our planning documents worked out? Fascinating. We should try that more.
