The May 14, 2025, meeting of the ReThink Folly Road Steering Committee commenced with the approval of the previous meeting's minutes, which were accepted unanimously without any corrections. The chair expressed gratitude for the thoroughness of the minutes.

Following the approval, the committee opened the floor for public comments. A member of the public, Hillary Smith, addressed the committee, voicing concerns regarding traffic safety on Bradford Avenue. Smith highlighted her apprehensions about the potential for the street to become a "speedway," particularly in light of ongoing changes to Folly Road and the existing speed bumps on Pauline Avenue. She urged the committee to consider the implications of these developments on local traffic patterns.

The meeting continued with the committee's focus on community feedback and the implications of proposed changes to the Folly Road area. The discussions underscored the importance of addressing public concerns as part of the planning process.

In conclusion, the meeting emphasized the committee's commitment to engaging with community members and considering their input in future planning efforts. Further discussions and follow-up actions are expected as the committee continues to refine its approach to the ReThink Folly Road initiative.
