Chip,

Thanks for the positive response on the presentation.  We will probably need to have cost estimates before City Council will approve the plan.  At this point, I think we're trying to get their agreement with the plan in general and to discover any actions that they wouldn't accept regardless of the cost and, perhaps more importantly, any actions that they want that are not in the plan.  Then, we can revise the action list and proceed to get cost estimates.  After we get the cost estimates, we all might want to adjust the priorities somewhat.

Frank,

It looks good.  Leaving the cost estimates open is good, as we can waste too  much time developing cost estimates that will most likely be outdated by the time council is ready to implement them.  I don't think that will hinder getting future funding.

I approve doing things however Terrence wants to proceed.  

Thanks, Chet!  Terrence is very receptive and rational.  If the BB recommends an alternative approach, on behalf of the BB, I would present it to him as long as I had a good rationale and BB consensus.

Thanks for all the hard work Frank!

You're so welcome!  Thanks for the acknowledgement!

I will try to find time to consider this in more detail but the thing I wondered about right off the bat is whether or not Council would want a list of what's been implemented and what still needs to be implemented. 

None of the proposed actions have been implemented.

Have all Council members seen the plan? 

Wes Nugent by virtue of his being the City Council member on the Traffic Commission received the Plan.  I have not sent it to any other councilors.   When I discussed the presentation with Terrence, who agreed to join me in delivering the presentation, he said that we would hand out hard copies of the plan to the councilors during the presentation.  DOES THE BICYCLE BOARD RECOMMEND OTHERWISE?

Getting money to do these things is going to be the problem so giving them some idea of the scope of the initiatives might be useful from their perspective.

As stated in the presentation, the Plan classifies the actions as Policy/Administration and Construction and classifies the Construction actions as Large and Small.  The presentation also states that cost estimates still have to be developed.
