Lowbrow Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 That would be great for the Richmond strip to downtown. It might even get a guy like me out and about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 It sounds cool. Too bad we cant get decent funding though.
