Bicycle Board Members,

Any comments that I should pass on to Bill Robinson on these 3 bridge projects?

Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

"The life of the artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard,

often amid depravation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in

order to strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life is

marked by intense application and intense discipline." - John F. Kennedy, 1962
