Eclipse traffic
11AM: None to speak of. Bypass is empty. Memorial Stadium lot has a few dozen cars and a couple of groups with tents and tripods, and one security truck sitting on the trail making sure no bikers can get through 🙄 A couple of parties in my 'hood judging from the cars. More people than usual walking around.

They're extending the B-Line up to 17th Street this summer, which is pretty great. Sure wish they'd work on the North Dunn path though!

Greg also thinks the process is broken, but because rich people are overrepresented.
(Missed the name) she complains about the process and feels that a fast one was pulled on them. Thinks bikers have sufficient accommodations as is, and there are hardly any cars anyway. Then something about annexation and the former administration.
Wendy says she can't bike anymore - hate when people say that. Doesn't know if poor people cycle. Will this project really increase safety?
Councilmember Dave Rollo speaks about how this is an unneeded greenway and is too expensive. Disapproves of narrow lanes. Thinks the process is broken.
Claims the existing greenways are decrepit - true if you count everyplace where there's a biking sign as a greenway. Wants the council to have final say over greenway projects.
Greg Alexander says drivers go too fast when he bikes with his kids - but feels much safer on a greenway.
@MSgtRedFox @FlyingSquid @Alto @Fedizen @Gingerlegs @the_q @NocturnalMorning @iamanurd @ScottStarkey @givesomefucks @happybadger Obvious first step would be to pass the compromise bill that Sinema and Lankford worked so hard on.
@chronicallydave @bloomington_in It would have been nice to get *some* policy discussion, after Thomson spent the whole campaign talking in these same vague generalities. I'm assuming that she won't start implementing the Republican statehouse agenda, at least.

Wendy also thinks bumpouts are more dangerous than not having them and that the neighborhood beauty will be ruined.
The amount of time people can talk when you give them a chance!
Jeff Richardson disapproves of the process, although he says he's pro-greenway. Did they do the project to avoid losing out on federal dollars? Complains about another intersection and thinks we should deal with other safety issues first before building.
