<p class="MsoNormal">Hello!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are preparing for an extremely bad SDOT levy proposal with little to no increases in funding for ped, bike and transit programs. Together with the comp plan, the city is locking us into another decade of unaffordable housing, an unsafe
and inaccessible transportation system and a flagrant disregard to our climate crisis.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">DRW, Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and others are planning a rally to push back on the levy proposal and larger long term vision the council and mayor is putting on Seattle. <b>We will be meeting next Monday at 3pm to discuss rally details.</b>
SDOT has said it will release its levy proposal for public comment on April 2, so we are looking at a rally date for the first week of April.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is so important that we come out in force, so we are really hoping TRU can help in organizing. Let me know if you have any questions or interested in getting involved but can’t make the meeting Monday!<span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
