Tomorrow Have Your Voice Heard Regarding Civil Sidewalks/No Sitting Measure

		Have Your Voice Heard Regarding Civil Sidewalks/No Sitting Measure Berkeley City Council Chambers, 2134 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way Tuesday, July 10th, 8:30pm At tomorrow's meeting, the Berkeley City Council decide whether to place a Civil Sidewalks measure on the November ballot that would ban sitting on sidewalks in commercial areas in Berkeley between the hours of 7am and 10pm. You can read the full ballot measure on the City website at: www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/uploadedFiles/Clerk/Level_3_-_City_Council/2012/07Jul/2012-07-10%20Item%2028%20Sitting%20on%20Commercial%20Sidewalks.pdf It is important that the Council hear from a broad range of citizens, merchants, and business owners--whether you support, or do not support, such a ballot measure. This is the democratic process, and your input is needed.
