agenda addition for tomorrow
by John-Marc Chandonia 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Also at tomorrow's meeting, Jeremy Nelson, the policy directory for Transportation for a Livable City, will stop by to talk about our suggestions for funding MUNI and some similar items that TLC is working on. I hope people interested in finding ways to potentially roll back the MUNI fare increase while preserving service will attend.

Meeting next Thursday
by John-Marc Chandonia 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

Hi, There will be a Transportation Working Group meeting on Thursday night (March/11) at 7:30 to plan our Transportation Summit. The goal of the summit will be to get progressive transportation experts and other interested people together for an afternoon to discuss policies and to draft a Transportation plank for the SFGP platform. All progressives (not just Greens) will be invited to offer suggestions, but TWG members will have final say over what we want in our plank (and the general membership will have final say over whether they'll accept the plank). At Thursday's meeting, we'll set a date and draft a specific agenda, and work out details on how to divide up the organizing. If you can't make next Thursday's meeting, but want to help with organizing or can suggest somebody you think we should invite, let me know or send email to this list. Thanks, JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc(a)sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/

Re: SF Plenary planning, SFGP working group participation
by John-Marc Chandonia 08 Mar '04

I think you're confusing 2 issues: Steve Willis volunteered to staff a Transportation Working Group table at the plenary. That sounds great; other groups that want to put literature on the table (e.g., SFBC) should coordinate with him. Don seems to have volunteered for something related to transportation to/from the plenary. He could coordinate with SFBC to provide bike parking, make sure he knows how to get there on MUNI, etc, but this has nothing to do with the TWG.
