[QUOTE=HC203;9465481]FWIW-I just got this.

Mr. Campbell-

The Mayor and the Department of Transportation thank you very much for
your email. The Department of Transportation was certainly surprised to
learn of the ghost bike removal. We have no intention of removing the
memorial at this time. We feel that it is a fitting memorial and a
crucial reminder that all users need to be alert and ride/drive/walk
defensively when navigating the streets of our city. We will continue
to make the streets safer for all and work aggressively to implement the
Bicycle Master Plan. If you have additional concerns, please feel free
to contact Nate Evans, our Bicycle & Pedestrian Planner, or myself.

COOL - thanks Harry!
