  • So when I was a child, my dad was a violent, alcoholic, asshole. And for a long time, that’s the only perspective I had of him. Now that I’m older and there are children around me, I can appreciate that he, for all of his glaring faults, was always present. Some dads aren’t that way. He was always there and always held us accountable and always to a high standard: nothing ever slipped.

    In my case, the penalty inflicted for not meeting those standards was terrible… but as an adult I can have respect and some admiration for a father who makes time everyday to interact with his child, help them be aware of his or her responsibilities, and help the child meet them.



  • Goals:
    1. Remove dangerous drivers from our streets
    2. Promote safe, certified micromobility while curbing dangeours devices and riding behavior
    3. Encourage safer travel through walking, transit, micromobility, and car-share over private automobile use
    4. Discourage oversized vehicles and prepare for new vehicle techologies
    5. Expand and maintain safety-focused street designs
    6. Cultivate a safety culture through education, enforcement, and shared responsibility
    7. Leverage emerging data, technology, and analysis for smarter interventions
    8. Lead by example with the safest municipal fleet in the nation
    

    I feel like #5 ought to be swapped with #2 and this feels like an overall reasonable direction.
