Greetings.

It is imperative that Franklin and Bank St. be recognized as a critical part of Richmond's bicycle network (as it already serves such), remains a "public right of way" and thus open 24/7 for safe bicycle and pedestrian movement, and that any upgrades to create a bicycle/pedestrian plaza on these streets should be of modern design. 

It's silly and imperialistic to close this space to limit public use - which is what this is really about. Keep our city free. 

Thank you.
