Many at Monday’s meeting agreed that city leaders need a renewed focus
on street safety, given the rapidly changing transportation environment
on city streets due to the rise of self-driving cars, e-mobility
devices, ride-hailing services and delivery drivers.

“When I began bike commuting, I had to worry about cars,” said Lisa
Platt, a resident of District 2, who said she had lost feeling in half
of her face after a bike crash. “I still very much do, but now daily I
dodge scooters and electric skateboards and bicycles riding on sidewalks
because the bicycle infrastructure is incomplete or filled with delivery
motorcycles whizzing by.”
