She's had a few more anti-bike moments, but we didn't capture them on YouTube.

She was the only member of the Council to vote against the Tocora
Path, which would provide a safe route into the University Research
Park from the neighborhood to the east. The neighborhood association,
Research Park administration and bicycling community all testified in
support. Ald Thuy voted against this important link - 300 feet, I
think - in her district.

She claimed that she didn't know enough about it and that the
discussion had been rushed. We've only been trying to get this built
for over 10 years! This shows that she is either unbelievably clueless
and out of touch with her own district or (more likely) simply can't
deal with an issue that has even a tiny amount of controversy. (A few
neighbors were worried about "safety.")

If anyone lives in her district, there are many people that would like
to see her challenged - both in an election and in the general public
sphere. The last election, she ran unopposed!

One more reason to get involved, if only marginally, with local issues
and political campaigns. These are the people not only representing
you, but making important decisions.
