Sidewalks

Where can anyone go on these? What can anyone do? Those are the important questions. This is from 2003, it appears.

If zoning is done correctly in the first place, variances, or zoning changes, should not be necessary.

"Sharing Medical Records With Patients" - NYTimes.com

We should be the best in the country in promoting this!

"Bonny Doon Vineyard’s Labeling Policy Draws Little Attention" - NYTimes.com

There is an old story of selling books in Georgetown - Washington, D.C. It goes something like this. A piece of paper was inserted at random in copies of a hot new book in one bookstore. The books sold. The piece of paper offered some kind of reward just for finding them and, I think, calling a number. Almost no one called.
So it is with food labels everywhere. I would be very interested to see what is known about what people read on food labels today. How many read anything? How many look for certain things? What are they? How many devour them in detail? How many ask questions?

"Do We Ban App Distractions, Too?" - NYTimes.com

Yes. My response to POGUE is that we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes ot drunken driving, and yet we know people will drink and drive. In fact, we even let us have one drink and still drive. That's because we believe that this is still safe. No one has demonstrated that it is safe to do anything else while behind the wheel of a vehicle and there is absolutely no reason not to continue to ban as much as possible and apply sanctions that hurt a lot, up to but not including the hurt of someone injured as the result of distracted driving.

"ACLU says banning controversial bus ad would violate First Amendment" - Daily Tar Heel

There is a basic principle at stake here - as a society we have set our "all" on a core American principle: More debate is better than less; more speech is better than less. The Council would be doing the right thing in encouraging advertising from any source on any issues with only minimal requirements relating to disclosure.

I think the priority ought to be placed on trails and paths and sidewalks that people can use in their daily lives as opposed to weekend hikes.
