He is the onlyMayor (and Commissioner) to see the value of thestripe. It’s the stripe that’s important, not the bicyclelane.Thousands of miles of riding demonstrate to me thatit is the stripe that keeps the several-ton automobileaway from the bicyclist, not the bicycle lane. Researchout of North Carolina proved the same.So, thank you Mayor Udine. We’ll never be able tocount how many lives you’ve saved or how manypeople are encouraged, by your accomplishment, to ridea bicycle, save gasoline, get exercise, fight obesity andsee their community.Not Just for the Rich & FramelessHappy Father's DayCanvas Transfers &Photo Restorations Available44the PARKLANDEROver 30 Years of ExperienceDoing Quality Custom Framing on•Lithographs• Mirrors• Sports MemorabiliaWe’re not just a Framing Store, We now have...Gifts • Home Accessories • JewelrySpecialty Candles • Perfume Bottles•Judaica • Hand Painted Glasswares“Meet the Artists” is the 3rd Thursday of the month<strong>The</strong> next artist — <strong>June</strong> 15 at 6:30 p.m.A portion of the proceeds from this day,will go to the charity of the monthJoin Us!Call for more infoCatering Provided byDeliAll Major LeagueTeams Available
