We urge everyone to provide positive feedback to the city regarding the Division St Bikeway Extension in Ann Arbor. This would extend the two-way bikeway north from its terminus at Catherine across the Broadway Bridge. #A2Council #AnnArbor #VisionZero engage.a2gov.org/division-str...

“Northside residents” who attended a meeting called by anti-safety and anti-housing activist Tom Stulberg specifically to spread misinformation, build anger, and organize around blocking Ann Arbor’s plans for a road diet are against said road diet. Shocking. #A2Council #AnnArbor #VisionZero

These folks think fewer lanes mean more congestion and their “common sense” and anecdotes override expertise and data. They know better than the engineers and planners and they certainly know better than the folks advocating for safety. The status quo is perfectly fine, as far as they are concerned.
Urban planning debates are often dominated by a small but highly motivated minority. Public meetings, consultation processes, and media coverage can create the false impression that a noisy group of opponents represents the majority view, even when the broader public quietly feels very differently.🧵
