Support "Stop for Pedestrians" in committee now, Virginia

[Matt O'Toole]

Fellow Virginia Cyclists and Pedestrians,

We're closer than ever to getting a "stop for pedestrians in crosswalks"
bill passed in Virginia. The bill, SB644, is on the Transportation
Committee docket for tomorrow afternoon. If we can get it through
committee tomorrow it will probably pass the House and finally become
law (it has already passed the Senate).

If you're a constituent of a Transportation Committee member, please
contact your delegate's office before 2pm tomorrow, and urge them to
support the "Stop for Pedestrians in Crosswalks" bill, SB644.

I've posted the info at
http://www.vabike.org/sb644-stop-for-pedestrians, but for quick reference,

If one of these is your delegate, please contact their office by 2pm tomorrow.
