4:10 am
bicycle lane that's one matter and shocked that one police district or station could have nearly 4 times the rate of focus on the 5 as another and have that be somewhat consistent it makes me wonder is it really the enthusiasm of the individual captain that is leading them to you know to do this or like really firm incentives and consequence from the commander they're not xov. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening and welcome. >> >> hi, thank you so i bike the city everyday and first of all, want to say thank you to everyone for the efforts going into vision zero and focus on the 5 at the same time, i think that there is a lot of room to do more i second the previous
4:11 am
comment about cars parking in bike lanes that is one of the most common places to me one of the most dangerous thing last week he watched as a car parked into a bicycle parking space and the police came and this was preventable when we don't have protected bike plains or lanes we don't need warning and in the long-term we need physically protected bike lanes the corridor and it has been in the works and a lot of progress made but i believe it can and needs to happen more quickly thank you but let's do more please further public comment on items 2a there d.
4:12 am
