Shotwell resident Shawn Demmons bluntly expressed his frustration, stating, "I think they suck, and they are inconvenient. This sucks," highlighting the widespread dissatisfaction with the newly installed barriers.
Residents noted that the barriers are causing confused drivers to make unsafe U-turns, leading to dangerous situations where, in one instance, two bicyclists were nearly hit by a car.
Waymo vehicles are facing challenges with the barriers, as one reported backing up after being stopped, audibly stating, "Need more space. Please stand back," indicating issues with navigating the urban landscape.
The barriers on Shotwell Street were installed after residents reported the street-level sex work shifting from Capp Street, revealing how urban interventions can lead to unintended consequences and community frustration.
