I do want to add one comment here in regard to flexposts. To the extent that the purpose of installation of these is warranted for the purpose of enhancing road safety (for bicylists, for pedestrians, for cars) that priority trumps other concerns in my mind.
(Apologies for use of the specific verb in the llast sentence even in lower case).

In thst light, i would suggest that anyone who has issues with the flexpost installation, in addition to speaking to esthetics, cost-benefit on loss of parking, property values, also think about speaking to other questions (as some have already):<br>
<br>

<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
* whether specific changes to roads which require flexposts are warranted to enhance safety in specific context of current road use patterns.<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
** doing whatever possible to get commitments/clarity on how, and how soon, flexposts that are installed will end up being replaced with more permanent,esthetically more preferable options.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
This second point is not a negligible one and deserves peoples' serious attention in this discussion. Given predictible budgetary constraints in the next few years and recognizing the large number of flexposts installed in the city, and in our neighborhood,
in the last few years, the transition to replacing flexposts with something else is likely to be tricky and slow. In addition, my limited understanding is that the engineering challenges, taking into account individual location specific issues, make the design
of more permanent curbs,hardscaping, green space, etc potentially a complicated design issue with consequent costs and pressures on a limited pool of qualified staff/contractors.<br>

There's no realistic way, i think, to get ironclad promises on a multi-year future projection<span id="ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span> of budget allocation. But getting as solid a commitment as possible, from DDOT. and from Councilmember Allen, is an objective
worth putting some effort into.<br>
