----- Forwarded message from Bruce Wolfe <brucew@fongha.com> ----- _ _ _ _ _ _ _n_e_x_t_ _ _ _ _ _ _s_t_e_p_s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you are mad as hell about the planned widening of MLK Dr. in Golden Gate Park, don't just take it lying down! Come out and join the Inner Sunset Merchants and others opposed to this outrageous plan this weekend: Protest GGPark Road Widening Sun., Dec. 5 | 11am 9th Ave. and Lincoln Way (near Irving St.) Despite over 600 letters opposing the, the Recreation and Park Commission voted to widen MLK Drive from 9th Avenue to the Music Concourse from two lanes to four lanes for a second entrance to the underground garage under construction in Golden Gate Park. Neighbors and merchants in the Inner Sunset area are outraged. We need everyone possible to attend a rally this Sunday, December 5th at 11am at 9th Ave and Lincoln. The press will be there and it is crucial that we have as many people as possible there to object to making Golden Gate Park more dangerous and more hostile to pedestrians. The road widening was opposed by a diverse array of groups and individuals, including the WalkSF, Transportation for a Livable City, SFBC, Senior Action Network, Sierra Club, SF Greens, HANC, CVIA, Inner Sunset Merchants, SPEAK, Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, SF Bay Guardian, San Francisco Tomorrow, and many residents and local business owners near the park. -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc@sfgreens.org) http://www.dolorespark.org/
