Keep in mind that this “broad-based” committee will be dominated by 3 Councilmembers, one of whom very likely will be Michael Jordan, another of whom will be Alejandra Gutierrez, and, worst of worse, maybe Meagan Harmon — plus 3 or four business owners there (and that makes sense since the property adjoining the street is privately owned.)
