From: Linda Kruger <br />To: PublicComment <br />Subject: Slow Streets Program <br />Date: Monday, April 27, 2020 12:21:41 PM <br />I wonder why the City Council members deem it necessary to spend between $10,000 and <br />$30,000 to implement this program, which is intended to enforce that on those streets only, <br />"everyone must obey physical distancing at ALL times". This infers that most people are not <br />doing so elsewhere, and that if people want to be completely safe, they should drive or walk to <br />those enclosed streets. It makes one wonder whether people should flock to those areas for <br />their 'safe' exercising, which would negate the need for these 'slow streets' altogether. <br />Furthermore, if one lives on one of those streets, one is now told that the street is no longer <br />"for exercising or playing with people outside of one's household". Why does the City have <br />the right to tell anyone that they cannot play in their front yard if they're following the rules? <br />Personally, I believe that people in Redwood City are doing very well on our own, keeping our <br />distance while walking or running or playing. The City has done what should be done: abide <br />by the county's orders to shelter in place and close non-essential businesses, parks and <br />schools. Please, leave our streets alone. <br />Sincerely, <br />Linda Kruger <br />723 Ruby Street <br />Redwood City <br />
