Respectfully, madam mayor, this is an area that requires leadership, not pandering to the loudest voices in the room. Everyone wants less traffic and safer roads. It's up to you to decide how we're going to get there then do it *right*.
Michelle Wu 吳弭I meant to circle back & say: some of the concerns might not match facts & that’s on us to have data & share it.
