Action Alert: Show Gov. Schwarzenegger the Bay Area's Support for a Shore to Shore Pathway on the Bay Bridge


We need your help now in securing bike access on the Bay Bridge for decades to come. Governor Schwarzenegger's administration is expected to announce a plan early next week about how to proceed with the replacement Bay Bridge East Span. As you probably know, there has been a concerted effort to cut the cost of this massive project that has gone well over budget.


The current plan for the new Bridge between Oakland and Yerba Buena Island includes a 15.5 foot wide bicycle/ pedestrian/ maintenance pathway, which we've fought hard for during the past few years. It's important now that we demonstrate strong support to keep this crucial planned link in the Bay Area Bicycle Network, as well as justifying funding for the construction of a pathway on the West Span too.


Please take this opportunity to send an easy, free fax to the Governor from the SFBC's secure web site. We encourage you to take action by this **Monday, December 6th**.
