quote from the sfbc bulleton

"It's high time that we stand up to planners and politicians who don't yet understand that it's
pedestrians that bring life to a community,
and it's cars who suck all the life out. While it's important to lobby public officials for
traffic calming and other public safety
improvements, it's also important to assert the fact that our streets don't exist merely for the
ease of motorists."
