It's not the city's job to provide parking for restaurant patrons. It *is* the city's job to provide safe spaces for people to walk.

How about that Grafton street rotary? GIANT sidewalks, and a traffic nightmare, but hey, plenty of space for pedestrians.

That area has always been jammed with traffic. The rotary makes the traffic patterns more predictable and clear which makes it safer. Larger spaces for pedestrians makes pedestrians more visible to traffic.

It was never ever this bad. It’s literally 15 minutes from cvs to 290 almost every afternoon. Now, is it safer for pedestrians, I don’t know, it might well be, but it does seem to me that all of those cars trucks and buses stuck in traffic are going to increase pollution. Heywood street into Kelly square is the same, traffic nightmare, but that was the goal, slow everything down for pedestrians.

A traffic nightmare, and they are going to do the exact same thing with the Chandler street reconfiguration.
