Walking our Talk
Thank you for this important invitation.
In the interest of "walking our talk," "practicing what we preach,"
reducing air pollution and global green house gas, etc., P L E A S E, in
your future notices of any kind, include transit instructions FIRST, and
do not provide free parking under any circumstances. At a minimum, if
there is free parking available at the venue, install a staff person or
volunteer, and use parking as a fund raiser at market rates or a minimum
of $10.
You know it really sends the wrong message to ask people "to do
everything we can to address the problem of global warming at every
level of government..." and then provide free parking!
Thank you for taking this very seriously and passing it along to other
government representatives. I am copying the Mayor's office, as I have
done before on these types of notices.
I urge you to request that the Mayor give notice to all city agencies
that hold public meetings of any kind to encourage the use of bikes and
public transit, and to no longer provide parking directions, and require
market rates for use of any city owned parking amenities.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
