Cascade points out that there are two good opportunities in the U District this week to speak up in support of biking. Considering how full UW’s bike parking is, it should be easy for some of you to bike over to the University Heights Center for one or both of these:
U-District Mayor’s Town Hall
University Heights Center
5031 University Way NE, SeattleTuesday, Jan. 25, 5:30 – 8 p.m.First on this week’s agenda is a Town Hall meeting with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, as part of the city’s Engage Seattle initiative. Here’s your chance to ask questions and tell the Mayor you’re all for bike lanes, safe bicycle parking on campus, convenient bike access to coming Link Light Rail stations or whatever U-District bike projects are most important to you.
