by accident, we'll actually too, because that's not a major change and the traffic flow before and after that area does not change. What you need to do the existing traffic flow is more likely for enforcement of people violate. I was a police commissioner for district seven. You know if there's a problem if you need more enforcement, not more sky in the pie. All right.
Please listen respectfully, your neighbors have different opinions on what they say.
Hello, Claude Jones, again, Russell wood axe actually, you convinced me against 243 Because of the fact that the traffic will be going slower and you will have a safety area for bicycles. And then to your point, Mr. Davis, as it stands right now, if you're headed southbound on the textbook crossing dataset, there's only two legs that go into three one lane on each side that go into two lanes coming across so it will be no it would be exactly the same. It will be one lane on each side on this side. Now as far as on the website I'm not sure
this is why we have neighbors talking to neighbors
well option three and the reason why I said at one let the gentleman said if you talk in north of Davidson there's only two lanes and you got to start somewhere you have to start somewhere seeing a lot of times we get caught up about what's happening in one area and it's like we go there once you get started in the seat that is viable then they'll continue going but you got to start somewhere
this is where you're listening to
everyone thinks number three is going to slow things down but let's be realistic thank you not only more accidents you're gonna have people going up that middle way going across all you got folks now that pull up to a stop pull up to or go past the standard says like his guitars on paper. They have no regard for to him right now. I would ask Commissioner when we're on a date, thank you out here because a people are creatures of habit we know that change is not a bad thing. I think this looks fantastic. But we also have to recognize and realize a lot of the people the way they do dress Yeah, come on y'all let's be realistic. You know how people drive around here. They're not ended for bus stop. They don't stop and wait on their phones. They know that they're gonna come straight up the middle hitting children old ladies or whatever. Or go a little don't me okay me into they're not gonna care. They don't care. We have a lot of younger people. Not saying this on young folks. Okay. You have a lot of young people and young know how to drive you see them every day. That's not gonna stone dance three lanes is not gonna throw him down three lanes. He's gonna make them speed up, and then go to the loo. Okay, thank
you don't drive your bike. I'm all right.
Hello, everyone. I'm kinda late to the meeting. As far as we look into see all the options are down to two and three. Preferably, I would say, option two. Even though three is very appealing for the market standpoint of the flowers and everything. But honestly, we've talked about budget and many things. We want to put more budget into getting light, as generally we're young lady mentioned to Mr. Ryan, and get away from it all it's so much to the landscape with option three. So I will say option two for sure. Because we have ongoing traffic sent out to China, especially with car insurance being so bad here in Detroit. I mean, I already see it happening. My tire hits the curve, because I have to get out of the way of the oncoming blue car. I mean And guess what, $700
a month. Hopefully that driver Thank you.
Good evening, everybody. My name Mike Richardson, recent high school at UCLA. And I would like to the reason why it's been good beneficiary were newcomers, to study growing district five and District Six. We've got to put a new express way is to be the black bottle, my grandson was born, and they are attracting money to Detroit. And money is going to grow, grow, grow. So what I'm saying is as far as to relieve it, so we can move around. Because it's going to get more and more this district here is going to grow so fast. You're moving in. Like it used to be. I've always said there's nothing new under the sun. When I was a young boy, you couldn't cover at district five, I mean, district five, you could come to this. But there are new people coming and they're moving in. We need to have a safe for our children. I understand everybody wants to slow down. But it's where it is growing rapidly. We have grown. Have we got to come to some conclusion or a buddy yourself with this. It would be for snow nice for you. and things of that nature. So we can keep moving. We're moving so fast. We everybody's got to come to me. So God bless everybody.
Yes, this is more.
Once again. Hello. Helman tuning again. That live annoys stretch. I was on that board I worked at at that time western district. And it's been proven that that shrinkage of those lanes increase business. hundredfold. Yes. And the safety is not an issue. There's not more accidents. There are less. So that's a man. And I can speak to him because I was a traffic officer Detroit Police. That's not the case at all. It's much safer for this community to have less lanes of traffic on Dexter. I've been here most of my adult life working and living. That is not the case. That is false information. That is a super freeway right now. And it gets someone for me to walk across Dexter. I'm not doing it. Right now. I wouldn't do it with this uniform on I wouldn't do it or to urge you
a little bit quicker but I
I would just like to share. I have grandchildren in the area. They are university indexer right. They're small children, neighbors, black clubs. Russell was Association. You all know how to talk to each other. Spread the word or some black clothes. I have a son. children live here. seniors live here. Slow down. We have to do better you have next door. Get on next door tell we gotta tell everybody in the whole city. They need to slow down. No, they're going through red lights. So lights, traffic lights are great. But us it's our turn to start talking to our neighbors like we are now. Slow down. We all want to be safe. That's fine.
All right.
We're here saying that they don't they want to keep it the same. Okay, Dexter been looking like number two for forever. Wood My family has been over there for 70 years. So my thing is, give option three a chance. Because when he when you get it done down here, they don't take it down the way. Everybody everybody's going to get something is people here saying no, they're not. But you don't know that. You got to start with something. And if you can shoot it down now, it's gonna look the same 30 years from now. It's like it looked when we came up. So we need something different. Elders can walk across that street kids can walk across the street. If you you walk in with a cane. You can walk across the street. We all got issues, and someone's need to slow down and let something be changed. Quit looking at what we had and the good welcome to hey
okay first I came as a business owner on Dexter but now after listening to everybody and listening to my wife vision as a father now I'm thinking okay so the if these are done and you got it people are still zipping up what they're doing 80 of Dexter off around here and if these both are done and someone kids just run out I'd rather for them to run out on three live then two and be exploded so that's my opinion I'm gonna yield my last few seconds to Caleb okay
oh three Hi my name is Caleb and I vote three because as you rather sit there they get blown up
Come play at the Rec Center when we get it built up all right
Apple three because
the traffic will be better and people will be getting exploded
Okay, so suddenly you know why you come to an opening you get to be here
so much here persuade you to vote number two
we got the lane right I will say earlier I'm going down the street look like this All right, that emergency vehicles come down what would I do in the bus stop that we had stopped we could not go anywhere. So everybody get on the bus
that's not good. I'm trying to go to work let's do the back stop anything because developmental decks in here people are gonna be relegated to when he can't get around the crowd we can just know where to park I will not be there for me not pedals
oh this is democracy 32nd
Number three times how long
it's gonna be it's gonna be next summer so Ron can talk to you about it, it's not gonna be significantly different. Between the two options, they're gonna resurface the roads and then they're gonna go into the sidewalk
option to go quicker than option three. Okay, then people have a biased opinion. But number two, because there's no flowers, there's no pretty crosswalk, waiting, crosswalk, paint top a carpet, pick your child. Anybody else in the crosswalk? Kid to put crosswalk on number two,
you can here's the problem. You gotta get across five lanes of traffic. Now.
I didn't ask you that as your mayor, the crosswalk so
you can paint it here, you only have to cross three lanes, but you can paint it, you can do so and if it were my kid going across five lanes when you pay in a crosswalk, you're communicating a sense of safety to the pedestrian. You painted across five lanes. And it's just not something that we would write when you're
driving a car you've got to look before you get the gas I agree.
So anyway, everybody will make their own as to whether the traffic is slow or not for the crosswalk.
Okay, so again, the picture a lot of people are basing their opinion on the landscaping in my opinion. And then they say the safety because the crosswalk can't be good traffic stops, traffic lights and the option to fire the schools by the Rec Center.
Traffic and forth.
Okay, so every Okay, we got we have to deal with this
Okay, so I'm just gonna be honest. There's a lot of police officers in Rome right now. So I hope I have a little immunity for the sake of community, but I had no on any of the streets in Detroit that are, you know, four or five lanes. And very little around, I tend to drive faster myself. I'm a little bit put in, I might drive a little faster. I know, even though I'm have a lot of things to do, and I'm very busy. The reality is, when I'm driving down six miles, I'm forced to go slower. So, you know, I think I hear some, you know, for those who are supporting option two, I hear some contradictions, because they seem to think that having more lanes, and faster traffic will somehow be a safety concern. And I'm not sure how that really works. Because I know I tend to drive faster when when there's, you know, options for me to go around someone who's going slower, but when you narrow it down, people are just gonna have to go slower. And just the fact that people are moving slower, the reaction time for even that person that's in a rush and a little hot headed, and they're they're going to have more of an opportunity to stop even if they are trying to rush so
Good evening. I'm Jeff Jones. I'm from HK village, our neighbors to the north of Davidson. Y'all know Davidson trying to cross Davidson is taking your life in your head. Right? Personally, I'm voting for option three. You know, one of my piece, oh, when you did the stuff on living noise is that I couldn't get up moving as fast as one of my complaints not going up Grande River and Grandma Rose does once I crossed south in traffic slows down. So I think we all know that, that's going to slow traffic. And as a bicycle rider, brilliant tricycle rider, the city, the trail is slow, I need a little extra safety. So from your neighbors to the north, I say option three is good. Let's let the city spend some money on this for change.
I, once again, my name is Robert Gant and my wife we lived in this community for 11 years now. She grew up here our life. And what I'm hearing a lot, and I respect everyone's opinion here. But I would just speak to us record right now I am voting for option three. The reason being is if you'd look at option two, that's pretty much exactly what it's been for, from what I've heard for the last 3040 50 years that was made in. And sometimes I think we allow fear to keep us from dreaming from having visions from seeing what can be from us walking into our destiny, Dexter Avenue is changing is growing. It's thriving, like the future is there before us. But we have to not let fear dictate our decisions and actually walk into the future. This is something beautiful, it's going to just thrive the community it's going to uplift the community, it's beautiful to look at, who doesn't want to walk down the street that is just beautiful to be part of or be and, you know, let's not let fear keep us from walking to our destiny.
I gotta say, I hope you guys are. Enjoying this process enables me to decide what your choice is because there are trade offs. In these two choices. They've been articulated really well. So we're gonna do our final vote here and then run tomorrow morning. He's gonna put his engineering team to work on designing whatever you vote for, and he will get the road done next up. So one hand only when a health is who's voting for option two.
