Hawthorne Greenway update meeting.
Background is that the NIMBY's who live along Hawthorne came out in force to oppose this greenway. It was approved anyway, but they appealed to our new mayor. She decided to continue with the project, and this is a meeting with her where she explains why. Several city councilmembers are there too.
She goes over why it's not expensive, and how it's a foundational greenway.

Hawthorne & Weatherstone Neighborhood Greenway | City of Bloomington, Indiana
DANG! Chicago's Dickens Avenue Neighborhood Greenway completed
"A contraflow ("wrong-way") bicycle lane makes biking east on the one-way westbound segments of Dickens safer and legalizes it. Sidewalk extensions and raised crosswalks shorten crossing distances, calm motorized traffic, and help keep drivers from turning fast around corners. And the speed limit has been lowered from 30 to 20 mph."
Oh, here we go again. Let's spend two hours on whether we can put a couple of speed bumps on Hawthorne!
Another commenter suggests that speed bumps are a deterrent to bikers. Bike guy tries to explain they can go *around* them. She pivots to complaining about bumpouts.
Now a bunch of people want to public comment. Public comment is closed. Public commenter wants someone to motion to reopen public comment.
