Robbie's post resulted in this exchange on one of the other lists: Q: >Which candidate supports biking?
A: >I sent all three candidates a briefing paper on the Hoan bike path, just to >help them all avoid saying foolish stuff created by talk radio. Doyle's >office acknowledged it.

I am saying the obvious, of course. But after I sent the >three DEM candidates a briefing on the Hoan bike path, she [Falk] called >me and >she told me that she would direct the DOT to implement the DOT plan for the >Hoan. That same plan which the DOT decided not to implement earlier this >month. To build the bicycle and walking path on the Hoan bridge. DOT has >been studying this plan since 1997; other units of government before that.
