I'm going to agree with several of the posters that the mayor's timing couldn't be any worse. And I'm going to venture to say that Soglin's insensitivity to the impact of what he says and when he says it could do him more harm than good. He can't blather away on topics of city wide concern like he can on his blog. We have a world class Congress of New Urbanism going on and one of the show pieces for the event is Ride the Drive. HIs "I don't give a d*@#" about the civic center and cycling seems to me indicative of how much of a grouch he has become. Just my reactionary 3¢ worth,DJ

I hope nobody misses out on the event because they're confused about which RtD the Mayor is referring to. -Mindy Preston > > What Robbie said. > First off, I also find it lame that Soglin does his press release days > before RtD #1... as if that is going to help RtD #1.
