Hi Neighbor,    
 
The first general membership meeting of 2001:

>> Saturday March 24th, 11am, 2nd floor of Ganglehoff Center, Concordia
   College, St Paul (southwest corner of Hamline and Marshall).

   Guest Speaker:  St Paul City Councilman Jay Benanav 
   will talk about the events and opportunities offered by 
   the upcoming City-Wide Summit on
>> "CITY-WIDE SUMMIT ON TRAFFIC CALMING AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY" 
    May 17-19, with renowned author and speaker 
    David Engwicht.

   PLUS at our meeting
>> Ayd Mill Corridor Update:  Even though the issue has been out of the media
   spotlight since the Two-lane Extended Alternative was chosen by City
   Council last April, NF! and others continue to work on several fronts with
   some positive developments ---- status to be reviewed

   FOR DISCUSSION:  Given the City Council stance on moving to two vehicular
   lanes, how could/when do we open the corridor to more citizen (bicycling,
   pedestrian, etc) use?

   There is much work and getting-the-word-out to be done to maximize success
   and ripple effect from the upcoming May City-wide Traffic Calming Summit

   Please try to come to the meeting, bring friends and neighbors.


>> Please note:
   For those who are interested, immediately after the NF! large group meeting
   a separate, brief training on how to be a delegate at the upcoming DFL
   caucuses will follow.  Although as an organization, NF! does not formally
   endorse Mayoral candidates, (and has invited other candidates to our
   meetings), Councilman Benanav has consistently supported NF! efforts to
   find creative approaches on the issue of Ayd Mill Corridor, and we are
   pleased to publicize his efforts to expand direct citizen political
   participation in the April aucuses.
