Re: Alternatives to TCC: City of Cape Town

Great idea, especially if Lloyd is on board. That would definitely
guarantee a success.

Best regards,

Carlos.

Dear all,

I would like to put one further idea on the
table with
regard to this year’s TCC. The City of Cape Town (South Africa) is
currently implementing many car-free and sustainable transport
initiatives in
the build-up to the hosting of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Approximately
R 3
billion (US$ 300 million) of project work in this area is currently
underway.

Having broached the topic of hosting the TCC
with the City
and local organisations, there would be potential interest to host a
2009 TCC
event in view of the event’s relevance to the current initiatives.
Of course, we realise that it may not be a viable option for WCN, but
we at least
wanted to put the option on the table.

The partners who could support the event include:

1.
City of Cape Town

2.
Bicycle Empowerment Network

3.
Cape Town Partnership

4.
Local universities.

Please let us know if this warrants a further
discussion
with WCN.

Best regards,

Lloyd
