Deaz Vic,
The Friends of the Parks and T'rails of St. Paul and Ramsey County requests the City of St.
Paui donate 31 regular size bikes. 3 bike. frame,s. and 6 smaller bikes co our organizaGOn far
the piuposes o£ using them for an innovative program called the Yellow Bike Program.
The Friends is working with Save Our C4ty Kids, (SOCK), plus representatives of numerous
other organizations to launch this program. The purpose is to put bicycles painted bright
yellow so they may be easily recognized, on the street, starting with downtawn St. Paal, for
residents and visitors alike to use as temporary means of transportation.
This proga•un was started in Portland, Oregon and has been exuemely successful. The Friends
and the others involved in promoring this effork believe that it serves many purposes. Inner
city kids will be learning how to repair bicycles, and how to run a business. "The bicycles
themselves could be used by visitors to the ciry to get to the riverfront parks, the State Capitol,
eta We believe that this program will bring pride to our community, and a feeling of
friendliness w people visiting St Paul.
Representatives of the Friends, SOCK, and other people involved in this effort would be
happy to appear before the City Council to explain our proposat. Donation of these bicycles
frorn the City of St. Pau] will be a big help in launching this program.
Please keep me informed about the psocess of this donation to the Friends, and let me know if
there is any other information you need.
The Friends of the Parks is a non-profit 501(C)3 corporation registered in the State of
Minnesota.
Sincerely,
