Additional input from client:

One advocate claimed that simply adding a pedestrian flasher
at (say) Highland and 4th would make pedestrian and cyclist
safety worse, which seems confused (he may be a purist
holding out for prohibiting left turns there and other anti-car measures).
It'd be cool to have some visibility on outcomes of flasher installations,
if you run into any.

Hi Dan,

Sorry for the delay, we had data science people working on this, but some leadership turnover happened, and we dropped the ball.  We now have a presentation we would like to show you.

I have copied the datascience team lead Abe on this email ([email protected]), please reply to us both.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dan, 

Hope your holiday was nice.

Checking in again with you on our  greater Wilshire pedestrian data presentation.  Any word from the Chair?

Do you have slides I could preview?

Bonnie sent new message (now that logo is done) to Dan 2022-05-03

Hi Dan,

We do indeed have slides for you to preview.  Let us know when a presentation and discovery (about where this project should go next based your NCs goals), can happen.

Here is the [slides draft](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ldS8rSkKZK-dF3cbQn-9CmdBe24FXJS9vG41aU28lL4/edit)

@henrykaplan I closed issue #119 and combined everything into this issue and sent Dan the slides for him to review so that he can figure out if they have the interest in us making a presentation and continuing the work.

Abe will keep an eye on this issue (it's in our icebox, waiting for a reply from Dan). We will let you know when we hear something.
