Supporting ped/bike/transit-friendly politicians
This month there are two opportunities to support elected officials who are supportive of the transportation choices that make our city more livable and competitive. KCMO Councilmembers Jan Marcason and Cindy Circo are holding fund raisers for their re-election campaigns.
Cindy Circo – Tuesday, June 15th – 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Parisi Coffee, 710 West 24th Street
Councilmember Circo represents the 5th District At-Large, which means the whole city votes for her office. She has been a strong supporter of transportation choices on the Council’s Planning and Zoning Committee, where she helped to make sure the new development code required bicycling parking and traffic impact analysis for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. Councilmember Circo has participated in Bike Week events and the KCATA’s Dump the Pump Day. If you can’t attend, you can send a check to “Citizens for Circo”, 4923 Harkness Ave, KCMO 64136.
Jan Marcason – Monday June 28th - 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Westport Flea Market, 817 Westport Road
Councilmember Marcason holds the 4th District’s in-district seat and was most recently a strong voice on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which is the committee that hears many of our issues. She has participated in several Bike Week events, including three years in a row at the Ride of Silence and bicycling to work at City Hall a few times.
