I hope the coalition can send a representative, please let me (or Sue Barker) know if you want to get something on the agenda which has to be finalized by Dec 3.

There may be opportunities to redirect RIDOT priorities a bit in both an amendment to the existing plan anticipated early next year, and an update of the long range plan to go to public, probably next spring. The big $$ to watch out for in the future is a plan to widen I-295 and I-95 all the ay to the CT state line. It is in "study and development" as are several bikeway plans (in Cranston, Tiverton, Aquidneck Island, Jamestown, etc) Excellent letter Jack, wish I had written it!
