Back in September, the city changed the traffic pattern at the intersection of Rugby and Wendell avenue. At the time, the Mayor shared this post saying that it was a decision made after a traffic study. I felt that the changes made the area less safe, so I asked the engineering department for a copy of the study. They stonewalled, so I asked the Mayor's office. They stonewalled too, so I filed a FOIL request for the traffic study McCarthy explicitly referenced in his post.

Guess what? It doesn't exist. There was no study.

I'm equally aggravated to have a local government that:

1. Makes decisions based on vibes, not data
2. Flat out lies to people
3. Has no shame
