Adele Goldberg is a junior
in the Ford School of
Public Policy. Goldberg is
interested in policy related
to homelessness and is
involved in Alternative
Spring Break and K-grams
on campus. She also
coaches crossfit in her
spare time.
How did you become
so passionate about
homelessness policy?
I grew up in Philadelphia,
and I quickly realized
what privilege was and
began comparing myself
to other residents of my
city that had nothing. At 7
years old, I didn’t exactly
know how to help aside
from giving leftover food
to the people on the street,
or volunteering to package
food and donate it to the
homeless. I knew that I
wanted to dedicate my life
to learning more about
how to better help this
population, and Ford gave
me that opportunity.
Why did you decide
to do the Alternative
Spring Break Program in
Detroit?
I saw this amazing
opportunity to actually
work with people in a
homeless shelter. I was
able to work one on one
with administration in
Cass Community Social
Services and talk to all
of the people that were
benefitting from these
services. It never crossed
my mind to spend time in
(Puerto Vallarta) or Las
Vegas. I knew this would
be life changing.
What else are you
involved in on campus?
I am also involved in
K-Grams, which is a pen
pal organization in which
you voluntarily sign up
to become a pen pal with
youth in elementary
schools in the Ann Arbor
area to help promote
healthy and strong
community relationships
that extend beyond their
classrooms.

Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor expresses his gratitude to his fellow City Council members at Larcom City Hall on Monday.
one’s work day, we have liter-
ally interrupted someone’s work
flow,” Briere said.
On Monday, the council also
approved a resolution to oppose
Michigan
House
Bill
4425,
which aims to amend the Michi-
gan Vehicle Code. Under the
proposed amendment, a legal
speed limit under the Michigan
Vehicle Code would have to be
set at the 85th percentile speed
of free-flowing traffic. This esti-
mate would be under ideal road
and weather conditions, and
rounded to the nearest multiple
of five miles per hour. The bill, if
approved by the Michigan House
of Representatives, would remove
the ability for local governments
to determine some speed limits
within the city.
“It’s very important for us to
be able to maintain that local
control,” Smith said. “This is one
of those issues where I think this
isn’t necessarily shouting into the
wind, this is right now a bill that’s
in house committee and we’d like
it to die in house committee.”
In light of the recent cycling
deaths in the city, the council
unanimously approved a resolu-
tion to allocate $1,000 from the
Alternative Transportation Edu-
cation Budget to fund a Bike Light
Giveaway
Program.
Council-
member Julie Grand (D–Ward 3)
said community feedback on the
proposal has been positive.
“It shouldn’t take a tragedy
to make us act, but sometimes it
does,” she said. “One of the solu-
tions that was brought to me was
to make cyclists more visible. We
know that the last couple acci-
dents that the cyclists did not
have lights on their bikes, so we
want to do something about that.”
Grand said the resolution will
allocate money to get the ball roll-
ing in regard to cyclist safety in
the city.
Smith, who was a co-sponsor
of the resolution, encouraged the
public to know that this is just the
beginning of cyclist safety discus-
sions for council.
“This is a Band-Aid, this is a
short term fix,” he said. “These
tragedies tell us that we have a
need. We have a need for better
cycling safety infrastructure. We
can’t do that overnight.”
The meeting also brought in
another round of anti-deer cull
protestations. Approximately 20
protesters, clad in red shirts and
carrying “Stop the Shoot” signs,
arrived at the meeting to dem-
onstrate against the forthcoming
deer cull in Ann Arbor, which city
officials hope will help curb the
city’s deer population.
Though the cull was approved
at the Nov. 7 council meeting, two
public speakers took the podium
anyway to urge council for a mor-
atorium.
Anthropology Prof. Jennifer
Robertson cited studies on deer
fertility programs as viable alter-
natives to a cull, which she said
she felt were more ethical.
“The cull has polarized Ann
Arbor like never before,” Robert-
son said. “What is troubling to me
on ethical grounds is the council’s
support of gun violence. Non-
lethal methods have not been
introduced, rather killing was the
first resort.”
Despite protestations and a
recent petition circulating to
recall Councilmember Kirk West-
phal (D–Ward 2), the deer cull is
set to happen this winter and
will not be reopened for a vote by
council as of now.
Grant Strobl, the newly elected
government relations chair for
the University’s Central Student
Government, also attended the
meeting to introduce himself to
the council. He said he wanted
to communicate to council that
he will serve as a voice of the stu-
dents.
“I am tasked with working
with locals to provide input on
policy and provide the student
perspective,” he said.
