This part says to me that @kdeleon specifically wants to exclude people from the BRT conversation who 1) have inflexible work schedules 2) aren't physically able to attend a meeting 3) are caregivers 4) have unvaccinated kids they might not want to be around anti-transit racists

I'm actually not terribly surprised that @kdeleon is trying to Koretz the project with this letter — especially if he's trying to run for mayor as this @StreetsblogLA story mentions.
But in-person meetings? That's a dogwhistle la.streetsblog.org/2021/05/14/kev…

It seems, from several of the councilmember's comments this week, that he really does not know — or is choosing to ignore — the full history of this project, let alone how Metro has been doing outreach on all its BRT projects recently

Here's where I would register a plea to @metrolosangeles to issue a statement or public acknowledgement that, actually, the proper outreach has been done — for this, and for dozens of other projects, safely and remotely, during the entire pandemic.
Will they do this?

As @numble notes (and everyone should follow @numble) this is already on the @metrolosangeles agenda for this week's meeting, and they note the number of people who engaged — which I can guarantee is higher than *any* in-person meetings held pre-pandemic

As @SunriseMvmtLA and others have noted, @kdeleon ran on a platform that envisioned a zero-emission future for the city — and just today made other motions that moved us towards that future.
Do we need more in-person meetings to phase out oil drilling?

Look at this list of meetings! Including the flyering of the entire neighborhood during the pandemic. Also having in-person meetings in summer means Occidental students and staff, some of the project’s biggest stakeholders, can’t attend
