Ann Arbor already prioritizes safety, according to our Transportation Plan. We are seeing slow progress, though, and still, some want to halt progress. Council, we need you to be bold in your support of staff. You already set the policy, and they are trying to carry it out. Cover them. #A2Council

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

It’s more general than that, but it’s an example. City policy promises “We will never place the speed and convenience of cars above the safe movement of people.” Yet some residents demand the opposite. When residents berate staff for following policy, staff needs Council’s vocal and public support.
