Louis relays Council Member Ressler's question about redesigning bike parking in the Trader Joe's parking lot for better and safer access, per the community board's request. Cozen says the applicant will use best efforts to work with Trader Joe's, noting the bike spaces are within Trader Joe's leased premises, and will incorporate community feedback.

Farah N. Louis

Okay, I have a couple of questions by Councilmember Ressler because he had to step out.

Farah N. Louis

The community board asks that you consider redesigning the bike parking in the Trader Joe's parking lot for better and safer access.

Farah N. Louis

Will you make best efforts to fulfill that request?

Jeremy Cozen

I can say yes, the applicant does intend to work with Trader Joe's.

Jeremy Cozen

I would just note that, and we've given this response to the community board as well as to the council member, and I think the council member is fully aware of this, the bike spaces are within the Trader Joe's leased premises.

Jeremy Cozen

So the applicant fully intends to use best efforts to work with Trader Joe's to make sure that that space is better configured.

Jeremy Cozen

including incorporating community feedback as to how we can make it safer and more accessible.

Farah N. Louis

Consider that part of the feedback.

Farah N. Louis

They said they want it.

Farah N. Louis

All right.
