[Ebbc-Talk] Fwd: REMINDER: Shore Line/Westline Proposed Bikeway Community Mtg - THIS Thurs, Oct 18, 2012

Cyclists,

There is significant opposition to making ANY improvements to Shore Line Drive because many residents fear that removing or modifying traffic lanes will lead to congestion or compromise emergency vehicle access.

Please come to Lum Elementary School in Alameda this Thursday, October18,  at 7:00 PM. More info below...

Thanks,

Jon
