Hi Sue- Thx for following up on this- I sent Howard all the materials, but apparently he hasn't sent it out to you guys yet. That would be great if you could present the Bay Bridge platform on Thursday as I won't be able to make it. I'll include some info in this e-mail and then let me know if you have questions. A good resource to check through is our web site: http://www.sfbike.org/baybridge There are several pages with good info here. The platform that we're asking groups to adopt is here: PLATFORM IN FAVOR OF FUNDING SHORE TO SHORE BICYCLE/ PEDESTRIAN/ MAINTENANCE PATHWAY ON THE SAN FRANCISCO- OAKLAND BAY BRIDGE We support the construction of a shore-to-shore bicycle/ pedestrian/ maintenance pathway on the San Francisco- Oakland Bay Bridge, and request that the California State Legislature and/ or the Metropolitan Transportation Commission include funding for this vital, and long overdue transportation link as part of any plan to raise the funds necessary for re-construction of the replacement East Span. A shore to shore pathway will support the Bay Area's desire to increase public health through physical activity and decreased air pollution, decrease traffic congestion, and expand sustainable modes of transportation and recreation. Also, here is a pdf of the fact sheet I handed out at the meeting: Thanks Sue! Please call me at 431-2453 ext. 23 if you have any questions.

Fwd: thoughts for meeting next week and getting TWG accounts for the TWG page
by susan vaughan 07 Feb '05

Rob Arnow -- how do those of us in the TWG get accounts so that we can log onto the TWG site? An e-mail for TWG folks below. Sue Vaughan Hey folks, > > 1. I am working on a revised version of the letter > sent to the Concourse Authority -- there's new > information about traffic in and around Golden gate > park. I'll have that for our meeting next week. > > 2. Rick Ruvolo who does transportation stuff at the > dept of the environment would love to meet with us > -- > he suggested our March 10 meeting.

I talked to Richard Heinberg yesterday and he > said > that the next time he does an event for us, he would > prefer to do a lecture. I've heard him lecture -- > he's great. 4. Also, Josh Hart, at the Bicycle Coalition, is looking for endorsements of the cantilever on the Bay Bridge. Drawback: cost. But he has some good arguments. I suggest we invited him or get him to at least e-mail out the arguments for this. > > ANything else? > > Sue > > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!

We could book the office for a presentation. Any preference on weeknight vs weekend, etc? The end of the month would be good, since there aren't as many regularly scheduled working group meetings then. JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/
