Traffic Board

[Bruce&Linda Dwyer]

I think Randy would be great on the Traffic Board and would like to give him a Bike Walk Alexandria endorsement. See Citizen Association endorsement below.  Please let me know if there are any objections.  In the meantime I will draft an email for Jerry to send.  Anyone else who knows Randy or would feel comfortable endorsing him are encouraged to do so.  Address to City Council and send to Rose Boyd

Thanks
Bruce

      I think you know Randy.  If you feel you can support his appointment
if would help if you would send in an email.  I believe he would be a good
addition to the Traffic Board bringing a voice for peddles and peds.  This
should be voted on at the 22cd meeting

                                       I support the nomination of Mr. Randy  
                                       Cole for the position of Citizen

                                       neighborhood.

                                       design, land use and transportation.
