[GPSCC-chat] [Fwd: Re: [SJBP BIRDs] Stop the Ban on Santa Clara County Cycling Events!]

[spencerg]

Hi, Tian:


       Could you please clarify the issue?


       On the sccgov.org web link you provided below, I see mention of 
bicycle parking and safety improvements plus "Construction of Bicycle 
Detection Loops on Lawrence Expressway".


       Where is there information about restricting peaceful assembly 
and use of public roads by bicyclists?


       Spencer
