Couple of transportation-related notes to pass along here. First a note on the issue of bike racks on Metro buses. Robin Holzer has been flogging this - see here for background - and it's a low-costidea that makes a lot of sense. Even better, it's beginning to get widespread support among the people that matter - Mayor White, Harris County Judge Eckels, and members of both the Commissioners' Court and Houston City Council. Still, a little expression of support by you to your elected representatives couldn't hurt. A list of names, contact email addresses, and phone numbers, are in that CTC forum link, so check it out. Lyn is also covering this.

Second, as a reminder, the I-45 Design Workshop, sponsored by the I-45 Coalition, is this Saturday, May 6, from 8:30 AM to noon at the Zion Lutheran Church on Beauchamp in the Woodland Heights. See this post for details. As of Monday, they still had space available in the workshop, so drop a note to vm@airmail.net or call Jim Weston at (713) 816-0444 if you're interested.
