<p class=MsoNormal>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 13<sup>th</sup> St to Main at the southern tip of the bay).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The meeting will be Tuesday, September 18<sup>th</sup> at
2:00 p.m. at City Hall – 202 C St, 12<sup>th</sup> floor. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
