Bikies, folks possibly in a position to *try* to do something about it are interested to know if others on this list
1) want bike lockers downtown 2) would be willing to pay for the same (and how much) 3) would be willing to give up an evening in the future to show up *in force* to say these things at a public meeting. as a related issue, providing more bike racks in city ramps has been discussed briefly. but currently the parking utility is unwilling to put racks in spaces for cars (even though no ramps are 100% full all of the time, enough spaces are filled often enough that the parking utility is unwilling to give any spaces up, even though, in general, space for two cars = space for 12 bikes. Also, putting bike racks in (former) car spaces would probably mean that maintenance of the racks would be the responsibility of the parking utiltiy, rather than traffic engineering, which currently maintains city racks, and PU may or may not do it as well as the city. basically, for either of these things to happen, many people are going to have to work to (probably) change some city ordinances, and if a public meeting is scheduled to which no one attends, the issue(s) will die an ignominious death (and consequently make a lot of bike adovcates look really foolish for trying). so let's hear what bikies have to say... chuck _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
