There will be a rally at the South Park Bridge on Sunday, March 28th from 2pm – 3pm, and people are encouraged to bring signs and show up to support efforts to save this bridge, which is slated to be closed at the end of June.
Ralliers will meet at 2pm in the parking lot of the former County Line Restaurant, which is located at the south end of the South Park Bridge, at 8456 Dallas Ave South.
Here are the details:
WHAT: Rally at South Park Bridge.
WHEN: Sunday, March 28th from 2:00pm – 3:30pm.
WHERE: Meet at the parking lot of the former County Line Restaurant, which is located at the south foot of the South Park Bridge, located at 8456 Dallas Avenue South Seattle, WA 98108.
INFO: From a Facebook Event Page:
Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell are visiting the The Boeing Machinist’s Hall this Sunday in South Park at 3 p.m. to celebrate the Health Care Reform Victory. This is a perfect opportunity for a friendly demonstration/rally to bring attention to the South Park Bridge’s eminent closure and the importance of garnering funding.
We are meeting at the parking lot of the former County Line Restaurant (address above) which is located at the south foot of the South Park Bridge.
We plan to meet and group at 2 p.m. and then proceed from there. We are not planning on blocking traffic or creating any problems, just a friendly showing of support and a plea for help. We will hopefully also garner some “sloppy seconds” media attention from the meeting at the the Boeing Machinist’s Hall.
Please bring signs if possible, the bigger and brighter the better!
After the “rally” we will all meet at Loretta’s in South Park to celebrate our positive showing of civic expression.
From Bill Pease:
As the impending closure date creeps up on us, there will be plenty of opportunities to come out and honor, and plead, and mourn for the bridge.
This is a window of opportunity for us get the message out again and again. When the bridge closes we won’t be able to get the same traction.
The first opportunity is going to be this coming Sunday; Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell will be coming into South Park to celebrate the Health Care Reform victory and I plan on being on the bridge with a sign.
Of course a GROUP of people would garner more attention.
Who is with me?
