I'm thinking we should write a letter in support of Ross's efforts to ban SUVs from certain city streets. Also, I think we should send a copy of our transportation plank to the board of directors of the MTA and to Michael Burns and Bond Yee (DPT). Sue --- Joshua Hart <joshua@sfbike.org> wrote:
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.
Best,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Were you going to e-mail information about the cantilever to Howard that Howard was going to e-mail to everyone at the Joint Transportation Committee meeting? I can't remember.
At any rate, if I were to present this to the Transportation WOrking Group (our meeting is on Thursday, 7 p.m., 1028 Howard Street -- second Thrusday of every month), I would need more information. Perhaps you can come to the meeting. Check with John-Marc in the CC -- he's the co-chair of the TWG.
