letters and Leah Shahum and Ross Mirkarimi
by susan vaughan 03 Apr '05

03 Apr '05

Leah's last name is "Shahum." She is the executive director of the SFBC. I have not yet contacted either Ross or Leah about April 27 as I was waiting for confirmation about the date and the theater -- and then I had an extremely busy week. I will definitely be intouch with both by tomorrow at the latest. Attached are the following letters: 1) Revision of the AB799 letter to Leno; 2) Revision of the cantilever letter and CCs to Steve Heminger and Jon Rubin; and, 3) Bike Plan Update template. Dave Snyder is away until late Tuesday so he won't see the Bike Plan Update letter until then. Also, in my next e-mail I'll send the Mid-Market letter and the SB810 revision.

Hello, Here is the letter to Spier regarding the parking on sidewalks bill. I've added a couple of sentences before the paragraph from the ADA - just some thoughts as an intro.

sample letters in support of AB 799 and against SB 810, and cantilever
by susan vaughan 29 Mar '05

Hello Everyone, Attached are sample letters that we can send on behalf of the Transportation Working Group if everyone agrees. There are apparently some other snail-mail addresses (committee chairs so that they become part of the public record) for the letters to the state capitol, but I don't know what those addresses are. I also do not know the address of the Metropolitan Transportation Committee for the letter about the cantilever. ANd the formatting is a little strange because I was cutting and pasting from e-mail. I will bring hard copies tonight. Sue __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
