Council meeting Monday, March 28th 7pm
Council to shut down sidewalk on Washington Blvd/405 Fwy
Forcing pedestrians to walk in parking lane
Due to the transients persistently blocking the sidewalk under the 405 at Washington Blvd, our Council majority has come up with their latest scheme. Consent Item C-7 in Monday’s council meeting will approve shutting down the sidewalk, leaving it as the domain of a pemanent tranient camp. Instead they will shut down the parking lane, put up dividers, and force pedestrians to walk in the parking lane instead. This plan will cost the city $100,000.
We won’t even begin to discuss the issues with this unprecedented, likely illegal concept.
We just want you to know about this and MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
The underpasses need to be kept clear and open to pedestrians. This is a no brainer. Council wants a walkable city – this does just the opposite.
Council meetings are still online only.
We know a lot of you have issues getting in. Try one of these alternatives:
E-mail the five councilmembers and the city attorney. Ask about the legality of this – this isn’t just extending parklets to existing businesses. This creates a whole new class of homesteaders and is explicitly against city code:
