Subject: Fwd: HBAC meets Thursday




Interesting tidbits on the new COH bike coordinator and a "Critical Mass"
ride...

> Subject: HBAC meets Thursday
>
> Hello,
>
> The Houston Bicycle Advisory Committee will meet this Thursday, April 12
> at 6:30 pm. Please note that we will meet at Two Houston Center located
> at 909 Fannin, Suite 3700. Bicycle racks are available on the west side
> of the building, and garage parking stickers will be provided, as well
> as refreshments.
>
> This will be a very interesting meeting. Clark Martinson of the
> Buildings and Facilities Department will present his plans for a bikeway
> extension of the Buffalo Bayou.
>
> Lilibeth Andre' has been appointed as the new Bike/Ped Coordinator and
> will officially begin work on April 16. Unfortunately, she will not be
> available to attend this month's HBAC meeting.
>
> The proposed map will be posted for your comments and we'll discuss the
> upcoming Bike-to-Work event.
>
> There is a notice circulating at bike shops about a "critical mass" ride
> to begin at 5:30 pm in front of City Hall on Friday, April 20. This
> ride is NOT being organized by members of HBAC nor HABA. (I don't think
> they'll have a great deal of success, because most cyclists will be at
> the MS150 Expo on that Friday.) We all know that we need good PR now.
> We can't afford the folly of a negative event.
>
> Also, please note the plubic meetings listed below. I look forward to
> seeing you on Thursday!
