Remember, tonight is the final Red Rock Canyon Open Space Master Plan
Meeting - 5pm @ the West Center for Intergenerational Learning (West Junior
High School), 25 N. 20th St.).

We need a good number of cyclists to attend! If they split the public up
into small groups to give feedback on the plan, make sure to try to get at
least one biker in every group and please be vocal about what you want so
your group reflects a pro-cycling viewpoint.

Hope to see you there,

Jim Yount
