Patience, #persistence finally got results.
For years I've urged bike parking at Monterey Fair & Event Center. Submitted input to TAMC again, for 1/9 bike-ped mtg (see "second concern" https://t.co/dVFjljXSPi).
And 4/8 TAMC packet (pg 8) shows action! https://t.co/1tF9RyDSJo pic.twitter.com/Wbw3YUXolc
