Subject: Two Way Traffic -YES
Hello Sebastopol City Council,
I strongly support changing downtown back to two-way traffic and improving public infrastructure for pedestrians and bicyclists. I also hope we can have wider sidewalks with cafe tables and gathering spaces.
Might traffic slow down as a result? It probably will. Should our goal be to move as many cars as possible, as fast as possible, through Sebastopol? Absolutely not.
We need a humane streetscape, designed for people, not cars.
I urge you to make this change.
Thank you,
Joel
