[SBC] 111 South St. street design

[walker2468 at earthlink.net]

Thanks for the reply, Steve. 

Questions: Which city dept. would be overseeing this? Anything done on a city street involves both T&P and DPW, correct? What about SPCD? And any changes would go through a review process, and the Bicycle Committee would be notified, through you, when that process is begun, right?

Again, we want to be proactive, not reactive, on this.

-Greg
