I like this one! but would leave the street narrow for safety reasons.

The city should require a La Fonda be included in the development. A Fellini’s with no La Fonda just isn’t right.

Back-out parking is deadly for bicyclists. Way too many drivers don’t look before they start to reverse.

Well, given the back driveway of our condo complex comes out on Hillyer, I’m not going to endorse closing it, much as I support making Decatur more pedestrian friendly. But I do think making it one way would prevent a lot of problems as the new development increases traffic. Also, as a former bike commuter., I ran into some very nasty drivers on occasion who were extremely upset they couldn’t pass me on Hillyer. I felt much safer on wider streets..

Another historic Decatur landmark/architectural gem bites the dust. Madness!
