DAVE: I was thinking to myself today how I probably never write to Bill [Peduto] with something good to say. So, with that as context, I would like to sincerely compliment Bill and anyone else involved with the City regarding the improvements made to the intersection of Fifth and Penn. I have driven through that intersection for most of my life, and it looks like it finally is designed to effectively deal with the traffic flow, especially after the students return, which will be the true test. Nice work.

DAN GILMAN (Bill's Chief of Staff): Funny you send on that. We have got lots and lots of complaints about how the city made it worse!!!

Thanks for the compliments though.

DAVE: It is not uncommon for me to disagree with the general consensus.
