OTIS can literally do nothing without district councilman explicitly approving the street design.

Which in practice makes them a total waste of time and tax payer money because of council interference in street engineering designs.

Same goes for multiple city departments, which might as well be scraped because council members block any changes or improvements from happening so as to hold the city back and protect thier elected positions.

I'm not arguing the politics of it.

But OTIS literally allows the city and these politicians to fly the safety flag when, in fact, they are not providing safety. disband them and spend the money on sanitation or speed cameras,

But screw these turds who come out with fanfare promoting a new million dollar safety plan that doesn't make us safe. No, i won't eat your platter of shit, nor will I excuse you for trying to serve it to me.

I understand where you're coming from now, and I agree, we'd be better off without the window dressing of OTIS. All they do currently is give cover for our shitty elected officials to continue doing the same bullshit they've always done with our dangerous street design.
