Just as I was about to post my email to the Mayor's office to Bikies, this came through from Anne Monk's, Soglin's staff on transportation issues:
The Mayor’s blog has been corrected. The bike station is part of the block 88/105 study now starting. The draft 2012 capital budget included dollars for design of the bike station. There has been some discussion about whether it was possible those dollars would be needed in 2012. That is the origin of the reference.**** ** ** Any questions let me know.**** ** ** Anne Robbie Webber On Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 2:23 PM, Amanda White <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I was surprised to read Mayor Soglin's Blog today which states his intent > to cancel the downtown bike station project.
