John, perhaps you know a lot about the transportation stuff and get present something to the TWG at the next TWG meeting, 4th Tuesday of the month. I'd really like that.

I do think the corruption issue needs to be addressed at some later point. This is not mere back-room dealing. I also think that the traffic issue should be taken up later. It is not true that a recreation project would create as much traffic. There is some analysis on this. Perhaps the Transportation working group can take it up at some later point. The Mills Mall will actually bring in less to the City than the current tenants over a ten-year period. Again, Mills' handiwork. A real recreation project, fairly negotiated, could do well, as waterfront recreation projects in Manhattan have. BTW, I was at the DCCC to lobby for the adoption of their resolution. It turned out to be an easy task, as there was overwhelming opposition to Mills. There were no "no" votes, and only 3 abstentions. There is a hearing on Monday at Government Audits Committee, 1 pm, in the supervisors chambers. Word is that Mills will have 100 people testifying. Mills is also robo-calling, telling people that corporate interests are trying to defeat their "recreation project." If you can go to testify against it, it would help. http://www.sfgov.org/site/bdsupvrs_page.asp?id=29787 John >Dave, > >Great. I liked your draft.

I read this on Common Dreams today, told Tom Radulovich about it. He reminded me of the remark someone made that of one person throws a rock threw a window at McDonald's, it's vandalism. If one thousand people do it, it's a revolution.

Hell yes. PLEASE let us try. Even if the BOS passes a resolution "disinviting" them which the Mayor ignores, at least it is some sort of statement. Great idea!

Since the BOS has voted to ban the USS Iowa recently, would it be a good time to talk to them about banning this unbelievably irritating Blue Angels flying circus? Does anyone know if there's anything being pushed into legislation about this issue? _______________________________________________ Transpo mailing list Transpo(a)sfgreens.org https://list.sfgreens.org/mailman/listinfo/transpo Emily Drennen Executive Director, Walk San Francisco 415-431-9255 office/fax www.walksf.org 1095 Market Street #502, SF, CA 94103 Advisory Council Member, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Citizen's Advisory Committee Member, Metropolitian Transportation Agency Past Chair, SF Bicycle Advisory Committee --------------------------------- Yahoo!
