I'll make it more detailed; however, though I've looked over most of the items, I find it difficult, without more expert guidance, to object to any of the elements. The Central Freeway item is not in there because technically it isn't part of the bike plan update. There is already a bike lane along that stretch of Market -- peds and bikers want right turns prohibted from Market onto the Central Freeway, and they want a bulbout there to make illegal right turns more difficult. Sue Anybody on this list can send messages to the list; it's "transpo@sfgreens.org". I shut down the Yahoo group because I was only getting spam from them. I think the letter should be a little more detailed (i.e., say we like "all elements" of the update if we do). Has anybody else read them? I've only followed the Market street updates closely, as I was trying to figure out what they wanted to do about the proposed expressway touchdown (it wasn't in there as far as I could tell).

To: John-Marc Chandonia <jmc@sfgreens.org> Transportation Working Group San Francisco Green Party 1028A Howard Street San Francisco, California 941__ August 20, 2004 The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition 1095 Market Street, #215 San Francisco, California 94103 Sustainability is one of the ten key values of the Green Party. The current reliance of many San Franciscans on personal vehicles for transportation is not sustainable in the long run. For this reason, the Transportation Working Group of the San Francisco Green Party believes bicycles are a key element in transitioning the nation ? and eventually the rest of the world ? to more environmentally friendly means of transportation. The Transportation Working Group of the San Francisco Green Party thus endorses the Bike Plan Update.
