[Neighbors] Lead/Coal Traffic Study in district 6 with Pat Davis

[Ben Wasserott via Neighbors_nobhill-nm]

Hello Nobhill Board,

I wanted to reach out and ask if members of your board have discussed the
proposed traffic study? Specifically, does your board/neighborhood agree
with the proposed plan? If so, have you had a chance to discuss which
intersections your neighborhood wants to be measured (need to choose 6 for
Nobhill side)?

The UHA is in the process of finalizing our choice of the intersections.
I'll update Nobhill board once we are ready to move forward, which we hope
will be soon.

Thank you,
