Dear
Mr. Stein:
I
would like to thank you for inviting me to participate in the
2003 Smart Growth Summit. I applaud Vision Long Island's
mission to promote livability and economically sustainable and
environmentally responsible growth on Long Island.
The
2003 Smart Growth Summit is of great importance to ensure that
we improve transportation safety and efficiency on Long Island.
I am sure that your summit will provide a positive foundation
for implementing solutions that help improve local road conditions,
increase efficiency in transportation, and reduce suburban sprawl
while improving the quality of life for Long Island residents.
Please know that as a member of the House and Transportation
Infrastructure Committee, I will continue working to ensure that
the federal government addresses the transportation needs of Long
Island.
I
look forward to the results of the Smart Growth Summit and to
continuing working with you to ensure that multiple modes of transportation,
such as walking, biking, rail and bus service, are available to
all.
Once
again, congratulations on the 2003 Smart Growth Summit and wish
all of the participants a successful conference.
Sincerely,
Tim
Bishop
Member
of Congress
