On the online police report tool, Remy says that he is very aware of its deficiencies. He was in a car crash and was told by police to self-report online. It took CPD a month before he was given a report ID that he could use to make an insurance claim. He thinks that's unacceptable.

Remy says Ohio GOP is very good at recruiting township trustees to be state legislators; won't entertain anyone from any of the 3 C's.
He does endorse the "squeaky wheel gets the grease" approach to 311: get your neighbors to file complaints!

In table talks, Remy says the Columbus Police Department is still 100 people below their targeted staffing level; this is why they're not responding to as many calls as people would like, or doing traffic enforcement.
Says that there'll be an update on policing priorities in 6 months. He reads Reddit. Knows that crime is under-reported because of hassles when police tell people to report crimes online. Says this is an outdated tech problem.

Wyche plugs a hearing on July 23 about building techniques and green buildings, but says that a significant obstacle is Ohio's state building code. Also says that the Columbus city administration is often pushing back on changes Council wants to make, when other Ohio cities have already made those changes. #TransitColumbus #Columbus

Dorans on when neighborhoods will get a Trader Joe's: "First of all, shop union."
Talks about changing the system to allow more things in areas, without variances: grocery, day care. Next phase of Zone In will include commercial uses, says we don't need giant parking lots year-round for Black Friday sales. Building local commercial is a land-use question. #TransitColumbus #ZoneIn #Columbus -
Asked about alternatives to "safety" surveillance at bus stops, Councilmember Remy says that he's working to make sure that every call gets answered. Praises on the chief of police; says that the previous org chart resulted in backstabbing. Says tech is a tool to solve crimes. #TransitColumbus #Columbus

Councilmember Dorans says that the old zoning code prevents housing growth, driving up prices. He thinks the affordable housing trust bond will let the City buy properties in expensive neighborhoods and designate them as affordable through the Community Land Trust. #TransitColumbus #Columbus

Interesting that Councilmember Wyche identifies stormwater management as a significant cost source for building bike paths and transit. #TransitColumbus #Columbus

Original message: An important aspect of grassroots organizing, especially at the local level, is through advocacy on social media
Yesterday, I shared a news article of a cyclists killed on a deadly stroad in Columbus. Not only did it get a lot of attention, but had a lively discussion in the comment section.

#Columbus could be a great city for #biking—as could much of the #Midwest. But it will take a fundamental rethink of our #infrastructure and public space. Check out my latest video sharing a vision of the future featuring @stevie of #TransitColumbus!

#TransitColumbus is planning some social bike rides in the future; they believe that they can get #Columbus councilmembers Lourdes Barroso de Padilla and Shannon Hardin to join.

Notes from the #COTA portion of the #TransitColumbus meeting:
- Frequency improvements
- Lines 1, 2, 10, and CMAX now run until the 11 p.m. Downtown lineup
- Line 35 all-day service to New Albany
- No planned service increases in January; check back in May
- Big bus-driver hiring event coming up; need total 600 drivers. Want to drive a bus? -
Q: Does #BikePlus have a similar level of support from City Council that Councilmember Rob Dorans has given to the Zoning Code Update plan, saying that they _will_ pass whatever is recommended?
A: We don't have a plan yet, so we can't speak for who supports it. But Council President Hardin and Councilmember Lourdes Barroso de Padilla have voiced strong support for this effort.
Stevie notes that those two council members will be coming to a #TransitColumbus meeting "in the near future"
