Making the most of freeway rush hours

[chat_noir]

We could do some alternate freeway blogging like these people did in Houston.

Rush hour locations?

435 and Roe in the A.M.

95th and Alt 69 in P.M.

435 and Sni-a-Bar in the P.M.

These overpasses have protected walkways...the morning/afternoon designations take into account which side of the overpass that the walkway is on.

Other suggestions?


(I have the materials for some pretty big signs.)

1. Waco Friends of Peace do it, too!

Saturday, October 21st several Friends of Peace members staged a freeway blog (hand-held) on the pedestrian overpass at I35 and 7th street, near Baylor University. Thanks to Robert and Mark for their dedication.

We held large banners facing the north and southbound lanes reading: "Honk for Impeachment" and "Bring the Troops Home Now." The traffic was heavy, with activities at Baylor, and a football game scheduled for 2p.m. The reception was very positive, with MANY honks and only an occasional negative gesture. We were there from 11a.m. to 1:30p.m. Calculating an average of 65 cars per minute and 2 adults per car, about 40,000 adults saw our message. A tremendous outreach with minimal cost. And a strong statement for those passing through Waco--the last place they would expect to read these sentiments. With the war disapproval rate at 60% and the Democrats poised to control some of the Congress, we feel it's important to continue to speak out.
