What was said

What members said, in order

I'm totally in favor of looking at doing the fencing and seeing what we do next. I think that sounds like it's responding to sort of the desires of the people using the park, and it would probably increase usage, which would be great.Cara Hoxie · Councilmember54:13
I mean, folks, we're really— we are definitely not alone in our, um, you know, recognition of all the inconsistencies, um, and, um, uh, check-the-box sort of approach of the current guidelines, as opposed to that is, you know, punitive in nature, right? That could be aspirational.Latika Malkani · Mayor1:06:01
