Christopher Leon Johnson Testimony: Resident Perspective

Um I think that Mr.

Balladino is correct about Elizabeth Adams.

Um I think that Elizabeth Adams should identify herself as a lobby for transportation alternatives, and it's on E Lobby, um E on the clerk website that she should identify herself as a lobbyist.

At the same time, um I think you got leading to bring up um she's at the she's a lobbyist, by the way.

Um she should identify so the lobbyist, um, just like Jack Shabbat should identify herself as lobbyists yesterday at a trend um to let's go to champion here with Rob Rivero got um got to what Consumer Junior wants.

But at the same time, um look, um the best uh outdoor dinner city, we need this.

Um at the same time we have to make sure that it doesn't be open up in certain areas like the last week, secretly said that in smaller in like smaller streets.

At the same time, we need to put more defensive uh uh defensive architecture to make sure that in the in the dining, like in the uh in the sheds to make sure that the homeless people don't sleep, the homeless people don't they don't be able to sleep and um use the bathroom and and do whatever they gotta do in there because when you when you let these people do that, and we all know that the nonprofits allow the stuff is like local New York and um and housing work, they allowed us up because the progressive caucus are scared of them so they won't say that they'll they'll try to fix that, they'll try to stop that.

And be yet and just ridge you try to say, look, let's put the physics of architecture up there.

But um for the prevent the homelessness from screwing up the the sheds.

But at the same time that uh once you have this, it'll be more healthy for everybody to start using, and we don't have to worry about cleaning, do the the cleanup, we need to clean up.

I think that needs to stop.

That needs to start happening more.

At the same time, only put the the sheds in certain streets, like Third Avenue, Second Avenue, or any street that's over like 50 feet.

You need to like like that's like a wide street, like 115 Avenue, like a wide street, you should put an open shed, but not put like a shed on a s on like a small block like in um like in Bayer Street in in Chinatown.

Uh but I need to stop that need to start.

I support it, I support the initial number set, but at the same time, the city council need to start uh being cracking down on people like um Sarah Kay Lin.

Your time is expired.

Lobbies from Transol and make sure they identify some of the lobbyists when they come over here when it registered on New York City Courtney.
