Our parks should be a safe place for everyone outside of a car to visit. This is a great start to making our parks even more enjoyable to walk and bike!
Today, I introduced a bill to lower the speed limit on City park roads to 15 MPH. In this pandemic, we learned how important our parks are to our daily lives, and I want to make them as safe as possible. triblive.com/local/proposal-…

"What exactly is the point of self-driving cars? The answer, despite more than $100 billion in investment over the last decade, according to McKinsey, remains surprisingly nebulous. And that should trouble us — a lot." washingtonpost.com/outlook/2… – at Pittsburgh, PA

Basically everything stated here is false. Muni budgets don’t pay for lion’s share of bridge repairs, need state of fed funds first. Bike lanes are 1/1000th cost of bridge repairs. Green energy programs are rules companies have to adhere to and self-driving is privately funded.
The bridge that just collapsed in the city of Pittsburgh was set to be restored in 2016. Instead of replacing the completely rusted out supports, they diverted the money to bike lanes, green energy programs and lanes for self driving cars.
