He talks about the rationale and the effect--estimated to convert fewer than 70 of the city's 9,000 single-family lots. They also take a trip down memory lane through Wilson's mayoral history--highs and lows from his first-ever election launch party (which Michael attended back in 2007), all the way through recent changes to bike lanes, bus lanes, renaming streets, and responding to COVID.
