What's a table top and why should we be supporting it? What are the objections to it? Thanks
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Coleman Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 3:01 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Michael Rewey; Marsha; Olson, Judy Subject: [Bikies] Livingston Rebuild & Isthmus Bike Path, No tabletop planned For a couple of years there has been on-again off-again discussion of putting in table tops in the Isthmus Path cross streets to slow traffic and to give cyclists a smoother crossing of the streets. Unfortunately now that there is a rebuild of Livingston St. the city staff are not proposing to do so. Please contact the regulars at the city to get them to do the right thing here. The email discussion below would suggest that if city staff were really taking cycling seriously they could incorporate a table top in Livingston St. There is a Board of Public Works meeting Wed. 4:30, 103A City-County Bldg. (see below) to discuss the Livingston rebuild. Try to make it. john >Livingston St. reconstruction design plans will be reviewed at the >Board of Public Works tomorrow, Wednesday, at 4:30, in Room 103A of >the City County Building.
