2. Renewed bike rack and road repair information-gathering

We're reviving our "where should we ask the city to put bike racks"
campaign. Have an idea of where it would be good to put a bicycle parking
facility ? Send it in with details of location, how many bikes should be
able to park there, and who would use it. We'll collate a list and bring it
to the Iriya (City Hall).

Also if there are road, path, or sidewalk locations in need of repair for
safe cycling, send those and we'll make a separate list.

Best format for submissions in in Hebrew, in a MS-Word or Dagesh2 file saved
as RTF. But any readable format Hebrew or English is acceptable.
