I'm meeting with Mayor Manilla tomorrow (Thu. 3/14) in the morning after his plumber leaves.  If any BB member would like to accompany, you are welcome - let me know.  

Today, I met with Damien and Jeff Mikorski so they wouldn't be blindsided by my meeting with Jim.  I basically ran through with them that which I plan to discuss with Jim.  The desired outcome of the meeting is that all City departments, especially engineering and enforcement become committed to increasing bicycling and reducing crashes.  

Attached is the budget request spreadsheet that Damien and I developed and gave to Jeff a while ago with additional comments in column G and some cells marked in color to show projects that don't need funding to accomplish.  I walked through each of these projects/actions with Jeff and Damien and plan to walk through them with Jim.  I expect most of the discussion to focus on the comments.
