Making An Impact
Mar 25th, 2010 | By dcrites | Category: Lead StoryA great many thanks to all of our supporters. A very special thanks goes to the ten or twelve that took the time to show up to the McLaren Park planning meeting this last Tuesday evening. The bike park, and bicycle facilities had more supporters than any other contingent present, and it was quite well received.
There was also the glorious moment of the planning commission revealing the data gathered from the last survey. Another hearty thanks to everyone who took time to fill out the second survey. Just look at these figures! The people have indeed spoken.
What’s that? Can’t read the text? Lets have a closer look.
So now we just need to keep pushing. Within the hallowed halls of the great institution known as SFUR, which could easily be mistaken for a dive bar, we’re working to get a second draft of our bike park proposal submitted. Then comes assurance that we can have a space to work with, then comes fundraising and building. Then comes some sweet, sweet play time for you, me, and everyone who loves bike riding in the bay area, and many who do not yet know how much they (will) love it.
Many thanks, and if you have time, please fill out the second survey, located here.
Note that this survey is not as open ended as the first, and it is a little disappointing to not see any mention of a bike park within, especially given the results of the first survey. Please take some time with the second survey to select the ‘other’ option and note how much you would appreciate a place for you and your children to ride bicycles off road in a structured environment.
