memo to Peter Rosenfeld re latest bike lane questions.
 8/14/02

Greetings. Thanks again, Peter, for your interest. Can  you please state the 
nature and form that this "national discussion" will take?  Will there be 
illustrations? Where is it happening?  Who is moderating it? Will it be 
archived?   How will it be/is it being distributed? By "representing the 
region's position," do you mean the BCGP's, yours, or the local streets 
authorities'? 

Do you have a timeline, a work product goal/format, a final report date? Do 
you have any local liasons, or other helpers/editors? Any funding or 
political capital to work with?

What organizations/individuals are you currently working with, that might 
qualify this as a "national discussion"?  What is the "carrot" (benefit) for 
the BCGP and the bicycling community in continuing this discussion?

It's really time to get some specifics from you on the above, on your 
qualifications, and of course, about your actual goals. (contact 
numbers/fax/addresses/titles are especially welcome)

  In the absence of these, I can't see any real reason to spend further time 
researching this issue for the sake of an email discussion. (I'm speaking 
here as Michael McGettigan, not as a BCGP board member, though my personal 
opinion is that they have  much more important work to do at this time, and 
should perhaps consider this answer a sufficient response.)

We have some serious time constraints, as we all have jobs, lives, etc... and 
again, speaking for myself, I don't have unlimited time to answer the email 
equivalent of weekly interrogatories... Looking forward to your supplying the 
info requested above. My opinion is that until we have it, any further debate 
is unproductive.

thanks and cheers
  McGettigan
