At a meeting this past March, members of the Beverly Hills City Council reflected on a simpler time in America. They recalled childhood memories of playing in the middle of neighborhood streets with little fear of being hit by a speeding vehicle. The reminiscing took place to show consensus support of a Neighborhood Slow Streets Program that has since been put into effect.
“When I was kid we used to play stickball, literally with a stick and a pink ball which was fun at the time,” said Councilmember Julian Gold, M.D. “We had buses that went down the street too. We just knew to move before the bus got to us.”
