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. <br>

<strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Regional Bike Plan
meeting</span></strong>: Tonight, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Carlsbad Senior Center OR
Wednesday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Balboa Park (and directly following our
coalition meeting!)<br>
Join a public information session about the regional bike plan at Balboa Park
Club in the ballroom. 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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
