Bicycle Board Members,

At last Wednesday's Traffic Commission meeting:

1. The TC unanimously appointed Derek Springston and Chris Phillips new BB members and welcomed Jim Rye back.
2. Accepted the press release that Betsy and I wrote.  However, Terry Hough objected to my passing it out to the Traffic Commission and said that she would work with the BB when it is appropriate.  (I'm still kicking myself for not reading it aloud to the TC members since the meetings are televised.  The outcome is probably that nobody but me an Betsy knowwhat's in it and that's the end.)
3. I introduced Mark Wise to address the trail stripe issue.  He invited TC members to join the committee that he's forming to resolve the stripe issue.  No TC members volunteered.  In advance of the meeting, I provided the TC the Authoritative Guidelines for Trail Striping that Jonathan developed.  The TC looked them over and I think that Mark recognized that whatever his committee does, it will have to conform to those guidelines.  When Roy Nutter, TC Chairman, asked Mark what the problem was with the trail stripe, Mark said, "There's too much".  I couldn't believe that he didn't even recognize that the stripe isn't even in the middle of the trail in most places.

That's all.
