I previously lives are more important than parking spots.
3:53:37
I previously testified my sister, Mary Ann Brown worked at CCRB complaint review board and she was hit and run down by a car while out of state.
3:53:50
It's happening in New York also.
3:53:52
People are being careless or intentional in hitting people whatever the situation is in the crosswalks and it's good to have the daylighting, whatever would be best for us if they need to tweak the daylighting it would be fine.
3:54:10
I have been advocating for more seating and more beautification of the city and also more bathrooms so we can include bathrooms in this design.
3:54:22
People should not be able to park near the crosswalks because this is where they are actually being run down and it would make it would make it safer for everyone if they weren't so close to the crosswalk.
3:54:39
Whatever the amount of space, 20 feet, whatever it is, they need to definitely make sure that people are safe and remember Israel.
3:54:48
Thank you.
