^ not that i am aware of. they are all about "Revitalizing" the city. but that is just refacing all the 100+ year old buildings and making the rent far to high for any businesses to move in. that and they have the architecture they had, but modern paint jobs and just seem terribly out of place. in the process of this, they are closing off streets for the heavy machinery to work on these building and in turn ruining the streets. they are terrible to drive a car on, and far worse to ride a bike on. i personally take alleys if i am going north and south in the city, they are in much better shape than the regular streets, and much less traffic. the old city mayor was a roadie, so he was bike friendly, bike lanes signs ect. after he got out of office all that ended. there are still one or two "share the Road" signs around, but no more bike lanes or shoulders safe to ride on. hopefully this will be a wake up call to fix the streets. but most likely the city will pass it off as "Some young kid being stupid." it's sad but true.
