Fw: ALERT: SUPPORT BIKE ACCESS BY KING ST METRO

[Bruce Dwyer]

I will write comments on behalf of the committee.  But the more the better,
so please send in your comments.  We really need the wide lanes. Be sure
that you say that the wide lanes are in the city bike plan.
The design is good in that it replicates the exiting old fashioned train
bridge in keeping the surroundings.
Thanks
