Sending this out to all members, but Lansdale Borough Members in particular,
Your attendance is requested at the Lansdale Borough council meeting this Wednesday at 7 PM – at Borough Hall.
There is some risk the South Broad bike lanes in the borough may not move forward with the street repaving this year. Turning out BNP members at this meeting could make the difference, keeping the momentum for the bike lanes in the borough on track.
I want to encourage everyone to BIKE TO THIS MEETING. The weather looks pretty awesome and so we should fill the bike rack to the left of the main building entrance. Additionally, I encourage everyone to WEAR YOUR BIKE HELMETS into the meeting, so it will be very obvious who is there to support bike lanes.
If anyone from UG wants to ride with me, I plan to depart from West Point Village at 6 PM (so I can arrive there early) and will ride back after the council meeting is over. Plan to be lit up and ride South Broad in bound.

Here is a link to a position paper I will disbribute to the borough council members:
