A minority of the attendees supported the diverter as proposed. A majority of the attendees either felt the plan needed to be revised based on location specific issues, or they out-right opposed the plan as conceived because they find it too flawed. All attendees were concerned about bike, pedestrian and traffic safety in this area. No one was "anti-bike," and really only one person seemed to be "anti-car," (but he might have employed hyberbole for effect). Please remember this as you discuss this topic with your neighbors: you all want the same thing, you just might have different approaches to getting there.
