After the rally Wednesday morning about the transit cuts, there is to be a funeral procession, including at least one PAT bus and a hearse. I'm vainly looking for the details, but haven't run across them yet.
I intend to join in the procession on my bike. It would be cool if we had a few others, too.
When I get the details, I'll post them or a link.
Stu, that sounds splendid. I'll join you too if you get the details (and I can coax myself out of bed) Now if we can get somebody with speakers to play some jazz funeral music, we'll be golden. Well you know, besides all the routes being cut...
Where and when is the rally?
For y'uns non-Facebookers: 9a, Sixth Avenue across the street from PAT HQ at 345 Sixth Ave.
Thanks. If I can get my but out of bed I will stop by.
Call off the dogs. No, no funeral procession tomorrow. It IS on for December 16. Details to follow.
Update: There is to be a rally on Thursday, December 16, in Mellon Square across from the Omni William Penn Hotel, 11:30 to noon.
A primarily car procession will begin at Rodef Shalom Temple, 4905 Fifth Avenue, Oakland, 10 a.m. My source says that if you plan to join this, to email this address, ballance@consolidated.net
I would be there, but I have work and little flexibility.
Missed the last PPT meeting: was there any sort of rally outside the SPC meeting yesterday? Anything else planned in the near future so I can try to attend?
That's perfect: a car procession to protest public transit cuts.
Yeah, I thought about that. I also wonder what in hell I'd do with a car once I got it Downtown near Mellon Square and sit still for a half-hour rally. I was just passing along news, and the person who passed it to me doesn't drive, either.
blocking the roads seems like an excellent thing to do with your car. kind of a demonstration of what it's going to be like for people who depend on transit and are no longer able to go anywhere.

Mellon Square Park is basically the roof of a parking garage.
...that's usually full at 11:30 a.m.
@salty But yeah, when we add 9,700 more cars to Downtown, maybe that IS the point of the rally. Just bring as many cars as we can into the center of town and bottle everything up so that it doesn't move.
