These deaths fall entirely on negligence of City Council members actively blocking OTIS from redesigning the streets because God forbid a driver be inconvenced for even a second. Along with our drunk oaf of a mayor and incompetent and lazy police department who are never held to account for not doing thier jobs.

Yeah, sorry but i can't let OTIS off the hook that easy. Don't you fucking dare break out the "V#_#&N Z$#&O" banner when putting out this b.s. People have died and will continue to die here. Blood is on their hands.

I get the political aspect and trust me I can't stand the asshats in the cesspool that is city council either. Especially the "progressive" ones who hide behind councilmanic prerogative as if it were a real thing. F#$k them all.

OTIS can literally do nothing without district councilman explicitly approving the street design.

Which in practice makes them a total waste of time and tax payer money because of council interference in street engineering designs.

Same goes for multiple city departments, which might as well be scraped because council members block any changes or improvements from happening so as to hold the city back and protect thier elected positions.

I'm not arguing the politics of it.

But OTIS literally allows the city and these politicians to fly the safety flag when, in fact, they are not providing safety. disband them and spend the money on sanitation or speed cameras,

But screw these turds who come out with fanfare promoting a new million dollar safety plan that doesn't make us safe. No, i won't eat your platter of shit, nor will I excuse you for trying to serve it to me.

I understand where you're coming from now, and I agree, we'd be better off without the window dressing of OTIS. All they do currently is give cover for our shitty elected officials to continue doing the same bullshit they've always done with our dangerous street design.
