John? This is so well said. And you , like many of us, have raised children on the Hill and walked them through crowded intersections . This is one of the trade offs for living in a city. We do not need to barricade ourselves.<br>

I think you have seriously missed the primary concern that is being raised. It has to do with the inability to longer to be able to park in front of your home, even stop a few minutes to carry packages into your home, and having in all likelihood to park further
from your home. But most importantly regardless of the design or the exact number of flex posts used, it will require the residents of these homes to incur greater risk of being harmed, particularly if they need to return to their home after dark. </div>

Other messages today to LPDC have detailed the fact the vast majority of thes residents are elderly and many are widows. They don’t have people to make sure they have gotten from their car to their home safely. Have you asked yourselves whether the greater
risk your asking them to incur is somehow offset by the greater security or view others will gain. There are important tradeoffs to be seriously thought about. </div>

Have you also thought how you would feel if the city announced it was taking away your parking space (assuming you don’t have off street parking) and the spaces for 4-5 homes to your right or left. </div>

It just happens that almost all those most directly impacted have lived here many years. We’ve seen the neighborhood through many challenging years. You have residential parking program to thank. It was created to combat all the traffic at most hours of the
day that was created by many homes in the 1200 block of Massachusetts renting their rooms by the hour. There were also the homes mid block on the 100 block of 13th that the police visited frequently and referred to as the drug stores. </div>

Many of us would like to live the last years of lives in our current homes. Being able to easily access either your vehicle or others providing you a ride becomes increasingly important. </div>
