[publictransport] Bin the Bike Ban Meetings

[cfsmtb]

Hi all,

Time to plan for another meeting to reappraise our goals:

http://yarrabug.org/pipermail/publictransport_yarrabug.org/2008-January/000027.html

Now do we want to try another meetup similar to the previous ones at 
CERES, Geelong and Castlemaine?

Or do we what to combine the Melbourne, Geelong & Castlemaine meetings 
with a Skype conference call, as previously suggested.

At this point it's important we clearly state our campaigns goals, as 
getting involved with too many perpheral issues will dilute the message 
and our collective energies.

Speaking as a individual who is involved with bicycle adovcacy 
practically 24/7, we should reappraise what Kosky mentioned yesterday 
and stick to clearly defined goals. Otherwise we're going to potentailly 
bogged down with too many wishlists.

According to media, there will be a new overhaul, whatever, in a 
fortnight. We need to part of that process, as this precis aptly 
describes recent ineptitude:

Brianna mentioned she had tried to contact DOI yesterday.

Is there any offical media release or ministerial statement to clarify 
Kosky's changed position?

As Adrian Webb from DOI is on (overseas) holidays, who else do we 
contact in DOI or should BtBB make direct representations to Lynne Kosky?

cheers,

Chris
