The people submitted 145 comments to City Council. 75% were pro bike lane.

The comments weren’t read.

“What had happened was”…OSOC planned on having a huge in person crowd hating on bike lanes at a city council meeting,

–but almost nobody showed up–

so now they are having a “community meeting.” Which is really a photo op. It’s pretty clear actual people’s actual opinions were pro-bike lane. (See above)

Because OSOC are afraid they won’t get enough anti-bike lane people to show up for the publicity stunt, they are also hosting a mayoral recall event–at the same time. Problematic for sooooo many reasons.

What can you do?

You can show the heck up.

Show up for bike lanes. Show up for integrity. Show up for safety. Show up for the people who are afraid to show up. Show up for the circus, if that’s your thing. But, please show up. Make them hear you.
