Subject: road diet
Dear Council Members,
glass.; Teresa Barrett; Mike Healy;
I live at Sixth and F and have been using Petaluma Boulevard South for
over twenty years with car, bike, dog and on foot. I am extremely
eager for the city to implement the road diet from Washington to E
Street because this cramped and crowded portion of the Boulevard
stands to benefit tremendously from improved circulation in the heart
of our downtown and theatre district.
I have really appreciated the improvement experienced on Petaluma
Boulevard North where the earlier road diet has been successful, based
both on my personal use and on the report that city staff prepared for
today's council meeting (improved traffic flow,, fewer accidents,
etc.). I trust the City can and will make sure the loading zones are
properly situated and designed so that our merchants`will be happy
with a tremendous improvement that will benefit businesses, residents
and visitors, bikes, dogs and others.
This actually highlights a, key reason that my family and .I chose to
live in Petaluma and to live in walking proximity to downtown:
pedestrian access to banks, shops, hardware, entertainment, coffee
shops and dining. This accessibil -ity also reinforces our lively
tourist business and downtown viability, and will enhance the ease of
enjoying our "social and 'business community.
Thank you'so much for bringing this project forward!
My best,
Barry
