I have been reading so much about the banning of gas-powered leaf blowers, bike lanes, affordable housing, etc. However, no one talks about resurfacing Garfield Street which is in dire need of serious repairs. Not only that but I have seen vehicles hit potholes that have flattened their tire(s).

Can we have this conversation? I mean better streets is a public safety issue.

In addition maybe it should no longer allow access to Austin Boulevard. Crossing from Garfield in either direction to Austin is a deadly accident waiting to happen.
