Not trying to be a Wu basher I'm a supporter who voted for her. I was thrilled with her hires for chief of staff and chief of streets, both of whom are well known for their work in re-imagining city streets to be less car centric. I just don't see how this is consistent with those goals.
Agreed. I'm a big supporter of Mayor Wu but am disappointed that she hasn't tried to resolve this with an actually forward-thinking solution: pedestrianize Hanover St. Residents are right that outdoor dining has made the tiny sidewalks on Hanover difficult to navigate, so close it to traffic from Cross St. to the firehouse and allow people to spread out. Banning cars would also create a much nicer dining environment (aka. more $$ for restaurants), so charging a fee for upkeep becomes a much more reasonable request.
