I much appreciated @taplinterry.bsky.social's comments before the vote, about implementing the plans we commit to, acknowledging that there will not be consensus. City council approved a low-stress Hopkins bikeway in 2017, 2022, and 2026 already; Walk Bike Berkeley said they count 10 council votes.
