Thank you, Robin, for the question.


A15-minute city in simple terms is making everything a 15-minute walk or bike ride away from your home. Basically, making it impossible for people with cars, forcing people to use public transportation to get from point A to point B. Adding mom-and-pop stores in residential neighborhoods. 

Now don’t get me wrong. I am all for mom-and-pop stores like Bonimini’s or Harris and K market, but I will not support making it harder for our community to get around because the city wants to make the city bicycle dominant. The city should be accessible for everyone.
