Fellas, is it problematic to bring food to share to a public meeting? #a2Council.
Screenshot of text reading:


Old Fourth Ward resident Jeff Crockett, a critic of the city’s density plan, spoke out, taking issue with a group of mostly pro-density residents under the banner of “Neighbors for More Neighbors” once again gathering ahead of the meeting and sharing snacks like they’ve done at previous meetings.
“I’m very disturbed about the provision of food,” Crockett told commissioners, noting he also sent them an email about it and suggested the city attorney should investigate the legality of it and consider a city policy on it.
“For you to accept this food is a problem,” he said, saying the optics of it are terrible. “What would happen if two or three groups came and filled this with food? How would you deal with that? Would you say yes to one group and no to another?”

Interestingly, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, who had previously opposed the infrastructure, eventually reversed their position and became one of the city’s most vocal cycling proponents—calling protected bike lanes “the way of the future” and a “win–win–win for all users”.
People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles on protected cycling infrastructure on the streets of Downtown Vancouver.

It’s good when people you agree with engage. It’s bad when people you disagree with engage. Hope this helps.

There are two punk bands playing around the corner from each other in downtown Ypsi right now. If you stand in the right spot it’s wonderfully discordant.

There’s a big disconnect between the Vision Zero aspirations of #A2Council and the knee-jerk inaction of city staff. See e.g. this crosswalk, where cars park too close because a parking space was lined out in a No Parking zone: seeclickfix.com/issues/19329...
Crosswalks
state law requires parking 20 ft from a crosswalk. this parking spot is painted within a few feet of the crosswalk.

It's been really great lately.

There was (what sounds like) a serious crash on Plymouth at Traver last night... There are still 3 months in the year, and they are traditionally some of the riskiest for pedestrians.

For the low, low price of free, you can own County Clerk, Larry Kestenbaum's, antique harmonium.

I saw I squirrel fall out of a tall tree and it looked so embarrassed.
