Subject: School Road Safety meeting May 27 6pm NE Branch Library

I want to make sure you have time to share this information with your groups and people who care about road safety around their schools and in their communities in North Seattle. SDOT currently invests $6 million a year citywide (and may collect even more in future years from school speed zone cameras). These meetings will help inform how and where that money is spent.

These are simply THE most important road safety meetings you can attend this year @SeattleDOT School Road Safety.

Why? Starting in 2015, the School Road Safety Plan will prioritize millions in safety improvements in this and every year around our schools.

There is ONE meeting in North Seattle.

**Tuesday, May 27 at 6 PM to 7:30 PM Northeast Branch Seattle Public Library, 6801 35th Ave NE

(there are 2 other meetings in West Seattle May 20 at Garfield May 29 to gather community input)

I went to the West Seattle one and there were only 4 community members, 3 from my bike group the West Seattle Bike Connections.  It seemed like there was a lack in communications.  I suggest reaching out to your local schools with the information to let them know it happening and have them post in their facebook pages and school bulletins.  The meeting was very informative and community involvement is important.

Here is a write up from the West Seattle Blog

Sorry should have sent it along before!!
