Accordingly I am requesting that the streets of downtown Coconut Grove be closed to traffic as in the past, but using a shorter route. See enclosed map. This years race will allow novice participation in all categories and will also include one running event. I am particularly anxious to develop more bicycle riders so that the Velodrome, to which the city is committed, can have strong local support, which will then ensure its success. I would like to meet with you to explore a regular schedule of open bicycle racing on this shorter Tour of Coconut Grove course. The many positive benefits of encouraging citizen cycling activity in Miami should not be overlooked and merits serious consideration. I will be calling you shortly to discuss these matters. Very truly yours, THE TOUR OF COCONUT GROVE, INC. / /) /A David Balkin President 49 f 11177-.;798 PO$i" OFP/O4E BOX M 4305/ 4045; 349a : coc.otvor DROVE, FLORIDA 33/33 ,e2.%."11014510105111041=itafteariAn...{.......04.0.00..x. 4 i\ ta'te h i stordc park )L1RSE (TI1 ANNUAL COCONUT GROVE 1977 L •. t im course • It •;.R.
