A+ Performance

More than one person has said that Alderman Marcia Johnson deserves better than the C- grade I gave her for her answer to the LWV pedestrian and bicycle question.

After pushing back on the Board President's steady, vigorous, and sustained critique of the draft Comprehensive Plan's transportation section and then making a clear statement that she would have and will vote against the PMBD (she missed last week's ZAP vote), I'm giving her an A+.

I think her answer reflects a troublesome a-pox-on-all-their-houses view of pedestrian and bike issues. But, I'm happy to have a friendly debate on the issue with someone who advocates so well for—and votes for—livable streets.
