City Commissioner Mingus Mapps on Broadway Bike Lane Scandal
Manage episode 377657773 series 3306820
In this episode, I share a video call I had with PBOT Commissioner Mingus Mapps about the Broadway Bike Lane Scandal. His office set up this 30-minute interview to respond to our stories about Mapps' involvement in a push from his PBOT Director Millicent Williams to make significant changes to the protected bike lane on NW/SW Broadway. Williams' email to PBOT staff on September 14th made it clear she was ready to move forward — with what she claims was Mapps' approval — on reversing the protected bike lane and replacing it with a less safe configuration. Williams has since made a clear apology for her actions, saying that she made a "mistake" and that she "moved too fast."
