Reported vehicle damage from the barriers and requested their immediate removal.

Supports the project, emphasizing that the cost of a life is worth the inconvenience of flat tires.

Supports the project, arguing that drivers hitting the curbs are simply distracted.

Argued the project is an overcorrection and requested the removal of concrete barriers.

Supports the project, citing that protected bike lanes improve safety and that drivers should be more attentive.

Requested lower, less damaging alternatives to the current concrete curbs.

As a cyclist, stated the current design makes the road less safe and requested removal of barriers.
