On Thursday night, I joined reps from BikeAthens & Occupy Athens - TopicsExpress



          

On Thursday night, I joined reps from BikeAthens & Occupy Athens along with several other community members at the Mayor & Commission Agenda Setting Session in speaking out against proposed fare hikes for the Athens Transit bus system. Commissioners took our words to heart and the item was removed the from the consent agenda. It will be discussed further and voted on during next Tuesday nights voting session (Dec. 3, 7 p.m. City Hall). Please contact your commissioners to share your thoughts on this very important matter. I believe that an affordable, accessible, & sustainable multimodal transportation system is one of the most important and valuable investments we can make today in order to address widespread economic inequality, rapid cultural changes, public health crises, and the inevitable reality of a future in which dependence on fossil fuels will no longer be possible. To see how the meeting went down, visit ACCs archives, citizen input on the matter begins at 15:00, my comments begin at 17:05, commission discussion begins at 44:35. athensclarkecounty.granicus/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=5&clip_id=608
