[SDCBC-announce] SDCBC weekly newsletter June 3

[Kathy Keehan]

Coalition Annual General Memebership meeting: 06.25.08, 5 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Join us at Balboa Park Club, Santa Fe Room, to review what the Coalition has
done over the past year and what it plans to do this year. We'll also elect
our board of directors. It's a good chance to meet the existing board and
discover opportunities to improve bicycling in San Diego County. We'll bring
food and beverages.

Regional Bike Plan meeting: 06.25.08, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (That's right,
directly following our coalition meeting!)

Join us at Balboa Park Club in the ballroom for a public information session
about the regional bike plan. What policies, programs, and facilities will
help the whole region be more bicycle friendly? Planners need information
about which regional facilities should be improved/connected/created. And
feedback on what other sorts of programs should be part of the plan - public
education campaigns? Bike parking? Bike sharing programs? Free airpumps on
every corner? This is your chance to tell the decision makers exactly what
you think needs to be done to make things better for you.
