June Churchill, a member of the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee and the DOTI advisory board, said Wash Park West is dealing with a “breach of public process,” and that she sees the new road diet as a plan to “spend more money to downgrade safety.” Like Alvidrez, she’s frustrated with a lack of city transparency. “I shouldn’t, as a DOTI advisory boardmember, learn more about a project from [public records requests] than I do from the department talking to me directly,” Churchill said. “That’s frankly ridiculous. That’s not how public processes should function.”
As a member of the MBAC, Churchill has been vocal about how hard it was to get the mayor to attend a bicycle policy meeting.
