Bike Lane on the Scudders Falls Bridge

Ok everyone, here is our chance to be heard and maybe make a place for us to ride safely withoutany car hassels.  Read on:

The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is re-building the Scudder Falls (I-95) Bridge that links Yardley PA to Ewing NJ and the Delaware River canal towpaths on both sides of the river. 
The Bridge Commission is taking public comment on the bridge's new design. Currently, the Bridge is not accessible to pedestrians or bicyclists and the Commission has been reluctant to commit to including a pathway, despite it being the public's number one request and over 1400 people signed a petition asking for one.  The Commission is   not convinced that the $18 million cost of the pathway justifies building it.  This cost only adds 6% more to the total project cost of $300 million project. 
Your action is needed to convince the Commission to make the Bridge accessible to cyclists and walkers.
1) Go to one of the public hearings and testify that you want a pathway included in the re-built bridge.  Open House -- 5PM, Public Hearing begins at 7PM
