Proud of @OakDOT today. I personally struggled with what our approach should be, but Oakland's Slow Streets program hits the exact right notes: don't #bancars but do #slowstreets by discouraging thru traffic on residential streets. oaklandca.gov/projects/oakla… 
@OakDOT With this approach, we can be also realistic about limited staff resources during #COVID19 by lifting up existing adopted plans and by "installing" with some dropped off cones & A-frames.
A lot of folks were interested in full shutdowns, much like our beloved Oaklavia events. But that takes *days* staff time pre- and during, disrupts bus lines, and requires traffic safety enforcement. It also creates a destination!
