This Thursday night, Seattle Great City Initiative‘s new campaign “Streets for People” (read about its mission here) kicks off with a rally/forum at the South Lake Union Armory at 5 pm Thursday. Stu Hennessey from Alki Bike and Board is leading a ride from West Seattle to the event; he says, “Anyone is welcome that can bicycle ride 25-30 miles at a moderate pace. We will attend the Streets for People kickoff rally and return. The ride will feature alternative routes through the city. Helmets and lights are required. Rain will not cancel.” Just meet the group at 3:30 pm Thursday at Alki Bike and Board (2606 California; here’s a map).
