Chair Lord-Hausman reviewed Commissioner Longley-Cook's comments on the Transportation Element. The comments addressed the bus stop locations, ADA accessibility issues, and curb site access plans.

These comments will be forwarded to Public Works Department staff responsible for addressing these concerns. 2.
