By a 19-1 vote, the Council adopted the Mayor's Platinum Biking Committee report tonight. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed the council (they received a respectable number of e-mails) and/or spoke at the meeting.
The one holdout was Thuy Pham-Remmele (District 20), who cited the recent flat-tire prank as her reason for shifting her vote from the "yes" to the "no" column. Oddly enough, I am not sure it has been proven that the people responsible (if any were caught) were bicyclists. Interestingly, many of the victims of the prank were bicyclists. http://www.channel3000.com/news/15763095/detail.html [Oh, and by the way, our own Ann Freiwald is featured in the article above. Way to go Ann!] In addition to the citing flat-tire prank, Thuy also shared her wisdom on the impracticality of using a bicycle to drop kids off at school, run errands, or be of any use to older people. Elections for Common Council occur in one year. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
