FASTA needs you for city council meeting-PLEASE READ

[Drotto]

WE NEED YOUR HELP AT THE SLO CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 17th at 8:00 p.m. (NOTE updated time.)

Council meetings are held in the City Building across Palm from the
City-County Library.

You don't need to say anything. We just need to put together a LARGE
crowd to fill the seats in the Council Chambers. Please BRING your
BIKE HELMET with you, to show you are a bicyclist. You will not wear
it, just tuck it under your arm as a show of support for FASTA /
CCCMB.

The SLO City Council is making the final decision as to whether or not
to allow the creation of a FASTA project in the Eucs. below Shooters.
Last September the Council OKed the project in principle. This time
around they are being asked to accept the management plan which we
submitted. As strange as it seems they could vote to not accept the
management plan and in effect reverse their previous positive vote. A
year ago it was approved by a 3-2 vote. We are so close to this
becoming a reality and 3-2 votes are so fragile that we need to show
up in force again to make sure that the council members are FACED WITH
VOTES IN THE AUDIENCE.

Whether or not you expect to ever use the "skills area" please attend.
CCCMB supports the FASTA project because it will provide a type of
riding opportunity that doesn't currently exist in our area AND
because it allows us to provide this opportunity in a sustainable and
legal way. More and varied riding opportunities benefits ALL trail
users in many ways, just two of which are: More trails means less
crowded trails. Sustainable freeriding opportunities are good for the
environment.

NOTE: IF YOU CAN NOT MAKE THE MEETING PLEASE AS SOON AS YOU HAVE TIME
