Please review for our next TWG meeting. Sue ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Proposed item for Geen Party Transportation Committee -Review of law-suit against the City for failure to follow CEQA requirements in regards to the City Bike plan -Review of actions that led to this law-suit. Specifically the removal from the Bike Plan of specific Bike Plan chapters required by state law, such as Enforcement and Education -Review of how these actions primarily advocated by a local non-profit corporation in order to promote its vision of a bike network only bike plan, led to the sectionalizing of the Bike plan into "network" and "policy" documents which eventually gave rise to one of the causes of actions in the law-suit, for "piece-mealing" or dividing the plan into sections so as to avoid complete environmental review -discussion of public speech and participation in public plans and of ways to avoid this sort of mess in the future. Basically how can we avoid this travesty of public process in the future. This is not an attempt to lay blame as much as to recognize that mistakes were made and give thought to how to avoid theses mistakes in the future. The people of the Green Party and the City at-Large deserve an open public planning process, that is not pre-restricted or co-opted by the desires of any one non-profit corporation. Thanks, Greg Hayes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Hello Everyone, If you have cable, you can watch the first episode of my public access tv program, Car-Free Talk, on Channel 29, Friday, February 3, at 7:30 p.m. There will be other screenings, but I don't know when. The guest, Dave Room, Policy Director of the Post-Carbon Institute, is great. The host, however, has a thing or two to learn about what to not to say and what not to do when on TV, like don't say "mmmm" and "uh huh," as people do in casual conversation. And don't look at the clock because when you do, you're audience will just think you're making crazy eyes ... Enjoy! Sue

Everyone, thank you so much for the very fun and successful event last night. Special thanks to Chrisine McClintock who stage-managed AND performed, and Paul Platt who took responsibility for the DJs and a lot of the outreach. Also, thanks to Pat Villano who made the flyers, Mark Barns and Micheas Herman who distributed many of the flyers, Pat Gerber for making additional buttons, and the following people who worked the door and GROW last night: Susan King, Micheas, Terry Baum, Jerry Path, Marc Salomon, Rosalind Lord, Pat Gerber, and Erika MacDonald (did I miss anyone?). And weren't Jane Kim and John Rizzo awesome MCs? Thanks to everyone. Pictures attached. More coming. These are some events we might think about doing in the future: 1) An Evening of Song with Don Eichelberger at the Bazaar Cafe (Don, would you be up for that?); and, 2) Letters to Nancy Pelosi in the Green Party office (or hell, the Bazaar -- the owners would let us do it there).

Hey everyone, I'm wearing a little green for tonight. Just thought it would be great if we could get as many people wearing green as possible. Sue
