3) UPDATE on GG PARK ROAD WIDENING - w/ ACTION ITEMS

The plan to widen Martin Luther King Dr. in Golden Gate Park to 4 lanes (without
bike lanes), opposed by the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, the Bay
Guardian, Supervisor-elect Ross Mirkarimi, the Alliance for Golden Gate Park and
the SFBC, is scheduled to be approved at the Recreation and Park Commission
Meeting to be held Monday, November 29th. However, the Board of Supervisors
have taken a keen interest in this issue, and we need to encourage them to
translate this into action that will protect our Park.

SFBC members have generated a record 600 individual faxes and letters to the
Recreation and Park Commission since last week, and a successful protest was
held on Saturday at the 9th Avenue entrance to the Park. But we need to do more
to ensure that this plan gets reconsidered before it's too late.

Here are some NEW ACTIONS you can take to DEFEND OUR PARK:

---> ATTEND SPUR's brown bag lunch tomorrow, Tuesday Nov. 23rd, 312 Sutter 5th
Floor where Mike Ellzey, Director of the Concourse Authority and others will
undoubtedly be touting the multi-modal benefits of their activities in the Park.
Cost: $5 for non-SPUR members

---> ATTEND the Board of Supervisors' Special Hearing at the Finance and Audits
Committee this Wednesday, Nov. 24th at 1pm in Room 263. Ask Supervisors
Ammiano, Daly, and Peskin to halt the plans to widen MLK Dr, remove the illegal
second garage entrance in the Park, and approve a circulation plan for the
Concourse that prohibits cross-park vehicle traffic.

---> WRITE A BRIEF E-MAIL, send a letter, or call your district Supervisor and
ask them to halt the plans to widen MLK Dr, remove the illegal second garage
entrance in the Park, and approve a circulation plan for the Concourse that
prohibits cross-park vehicle traffic.
