Dear Marlies,
I hope everything is well with you since we were last able to speak in person on February. Are you still dating that nice boy from Texas? I'm disappointed I haven't had the chance to meet him yet, but your sister and my mother have told me nothing but great things about him.
The reason I'm writing is to inform you about a proposal that a University official is making regarding Academy Street. He wants to turn part of it into a pedestrian mall, closed to cars. I assume the blocks to be closed would be those nearest the Perkins Student Center. I'm sure you haven't already forgotten the way students cross the street there. I'm particularly interested in what you have to say about this since you moved into the city and live so close to the Times Square pedestrian mall.
To me, the proposal seems entirely unnecessary. The campus is already relatively pedestrian friendly. If anything it's quite difficult to navigate the area by car and blocking off Academy St. won't make it any better. I know you've said you often go and sit on Broadway now that its closed to cars, but I can't imagine that happening in Newark with both the beach and the Green in such close proximity.
Your Cousin,
Steven
