[Sosfbay-discuss] Fwd: Tell Governor to Support the Complete Streets Act

[Andrea Dorey]

Can we as SC County Greens support AB 1358?
On first blush, it looks like a good plan to cut emissions by  
allowing greener traffic modes.
Please advise!  This might be a time that AARP is actually being useful!
