Hi everyone, 

 

On Monday July 27, the Traffic & Parking Board will consider improvements for people walking across Russell Rd. BPAC supports Concept 2 which would add pedestrian refuge islands but we have heard that staff are recommending Concept 1 to reduce parking impacts. Apparently, the Naomi Brooks principal and some neighbors opposed parking removal. 

 

Please check out and share our action alert and either testify to the Board or send an email if you are unable to attend. 

 

Thanks, 

Zack
