We need to advocate more to the city and the new mayor, who is very pro-business and seems more likely to be concerned about roads for cars than for pedestrians and bikes. He needs to hear this a a priority for people or he’s just going to focus on the other stuff that people complain about, like speed bumps, snow plowing, and pot holes that don’t do anything for pedestrians.

The “how” for that is a bit trickier to figure out, but there will undoubtedly be opportunities to speak at public meetings on this.

Obviously, we can call and message the mayor’s office as well as city counselors at any time too.

And sure, North Main may be a state road but the city will have at least some input on changes made.
