Rather said DW's biggest issue is a lack of cost analysis: In regards to new garages, she said,"It's a lot less expensive to have other options available so people can get [there] without having to drive.

DW mentioned in the Q&A that there will be additional small group discussions on equity, and more pop-ups in Council Districts 1, 2, 3, and 4, but Rather says there needs to be a more"robust, bold" vision for equity, and everything else.
