Downtown Austin Plan Meeting: Regards bike routes on 5th/6th and Guadalupe/Lavaca

Nadia Barrera from the CoA Bicycle Program just sent me notice on a meeting this weekend regarding the Downtown Austin Plan. The message about the meeting follows, but here's the reason she specified as to why y'all should deign show up to this shindig:

There is a proposal to change the Bicycle Circulation Plan to remove Guadalupe/Lavaca and 5th/6th Streets as Secondary Bicycle Routes. Your input is needed.

Ok, enough about us, on to the meeting information:
