Bike Board Members,
I would like to postpone this Thursday's Bike Board meeting to the
following Thursday, 12-April due to absence of myself and other members
plus some committees needing a little more time to complete their
recommendations.
This month's Traffic Commission meeting has also been postponed one week
to Wednesday, 11-April. They will be deciding on our Infrastructure and
Education recommendations so I hope you'll all attend to see how they
work and how our recommendations come out. The meeting will begin 6:30
PM in Council Chambers (across and up the street from where we meet).
Besides reviewing what the Traffic Commission did with our
recommendations, at our next meeting, we'll have a lot to talk about the
Effective Cycling training. Eight of our members completed the March
10-11 Road I course and Nick and I will be taking the instructor
certification seminar this week.
The week delay in our meeting may give the Commuting, Public Relations
and Bicycle Friendly Community Application committees a chance to polish
their final products and get them out as read-aheads to the Bike Board.
At our meeting, we may also have a chance to form committees to address
the last of our goal groups: Law, Maps and Bike Parking.
I think we've all learned a lot over the past several months by working
on our committees. I'm hoping that we can bring together all this
knowledge in the next few months to complete our first comprehensive
bicycling plan.
Recapping:
* Wednesday, 11-April, 6:30 PM, Traffic Commission Meeting, Council
Chambers
* Thursday, 12-April, 6:30 PM, Bike Boar Meeting, Public Safety
Building Conference Room (regular location)
Happy Spring!
Frank
