[SDCBC] Bayshore Bikeway at City Council on September 18th, 2:00 p.m.

[Kathy Keehan]

Here we go! The San Diego City Council will be considering the Bayshore
Bikeway Western Salt project (the bike path project along the railroad
tracks from 13th St to Main at the southern tip of the bay).

The meeting will be Tuesday, September 18th at 2:00 p.m. at City Hall - 202
C St, 12th floor. 

The Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) is objecting to the removal of the
ties from the old rail line to construct the bike path. We have to remove
the rotten ties so they don't degrade under the path and create a
maintenance issue. Not to mention that saving the ties will cost an
additional $177,000. But SOHO wants to keep the ties in place and are
therefore opposing the bike path project. They will have many people at the
meeting to speak against the bike path - we'll need bicyclists there to
defend the project.

You don't have to speak at the meeting, but filling out a slip that
expresses support for the project and being there to stand up for the path
will be a big help! If you can attend, please do so, and bring your helmet!

If you need more info, don't hesitate to call or email me. Please forward
this information to other bicyclists who might also be able to attend.
