Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.

Subject: [GirlsRideOutAustin] Lady Bird Lake Trail Completion Needs Your Help
Hi all,
the troops are being mobilized to get the trail completed along Lady Bird Lake. Some interests in town are resisting the trail completion. It's time to let the City Council know that the general population of Austin favors a complete trail.
If possible, join us at 2:00pm this Thursday at City Hall as a show of support. For your planning purposes, it should take less than an hour.
Please forward this email - especially those of you who work downtown at Whole Foods, etc.
thanks,
Eileen

While many consider closing this gap in our lake-front Trail to be a laudable civic goal and critical for Austin's park and trail system, it is one of many issues the City has an opportunity to address in 2009. For the Trail to be finally completed, everyone who supports it needs to be heard from now.
There are still issues of construction methods, segment routes, environmental impacts, and funding to be considered in the months ahead during the design stage. Advancing the concept plan to the next stage does not mean the work of designing, funding and building the best boardwalk trail for Austin and Lady Bird Lake is finished. But it will mean we would be closer than we have ever been to providing safe, continuous pedestrian and bicycle access along the entire lakefront.
Please help make the Trail the best it can be for all of Austin. Show your support on or before the 12th and mark February 26 on your calendar and plan to attend the Council meeting.

Dear Friends,
I wanted to personally reach out to you because of your dedication to our beautiful city, and one of its most important treasures: the Trail around Lady Bird Lake. This email pertains to the proposed Boardwalk that would complete the trail. This is an incredibly important project in many respects and will be an important recreation and transportation opportunity for bicyclists and pedestrians.
In the weeks ahead, the City Council will consider the Riverside Boardwalk Trail and its concept plan. On February 12, the Council will receive a briefing on the Boardwalk from the Parks and Recreation Department and the Public Works Department. On February 26, the City Council will vote on the concept plan.
Please show your support for completing the Trail by emailing our City Council today-
