This was discussed at our recent club meeting . There will be a vote this Tuesday in Kingston at the DMV Building. It can make a big difference to have cyclist visible on scene and making their voice heard. _________________ If I can bicycle, I bicycle.

There's an important meeting tomorrow 5/19 at the ulster county building in Kingston to vote on the proposed trail. Cyclists in support of the trail should think about the following:
"We are also looking for people to attend the legislative meeting tomorrow (starts at 7 pm, but we think seats in the chamber will go fast, so we are asking people to arrive before 6 pm to grab a chair). If people who are coming can carry a cycling helmet and be ready to stand up when we ask for people to show support for the trail, that would be great. People can also sign up to speak, with the knowledge that if victory looks certain, we will ask speakers to say "I support the trail and I yield my time.""
So after you vote for your school budget, vote for trails!!! |
