New page

The biggest news in the President's Report is that... we have a new
president. With the resignation of Adam Burgess on August 28, I moved
from Vice President to President.

Media
Will go on Alberta@Noon on CBC Radio One to talk trail safety on
Tuesday, September 11 . There was recently a pretty serious bike-
pedestrian accident in Calgary with the cyclist getting the worst of
it which precipitated the half-hour talkback segment. Briefed by Chris
Chan, who was very helpful in preparing me.

Memorial Ride
The memorial ride for Isaak Kornelsen was a touching event. Hundreds
of cyclists came out to show their support. Close friends of the
victim and complete strangers stood together for a short moment in
solidarity. I was glad that EBC took part and helped organize this
event even if it did involve contorting our own policy on Critical
Mass like events. It was worth it.

Advocacy Committee - Since, I'm now the president and the chair of the
advocacy committee you get both reports tied into one. The Advocacy
Committee Minutes from August can be found here -

Chris gave a full version of his Velo-City inspired presentation. The
plan is to workshop this into a shorter, more traffic safety oriented
version that volunteers can take to their own community leagues with
the goal of finding community partners for neighborhood greenways.

Position Statements - An action item coming out of this meeting was to
draft position statements on a number of cycling related issues to
help out our spokespeople and to provide clarity to membership, city
staff and interested people.

Push for better data - A new project of mine. Building a coalition
with the U of A, the local planning group and interested citizens and
urbanists to get the city to collect better and more public data on
cyclists and pedestrians. The eventual ask would be for a bike
barometer in a highly visible location ie. The High Level Bridge

Transition - Meeting up with Adam Burgess on Sept. 18 to have a proper
transition meeting.

Fishing for Directors - Have had beers and meetings with several
potential director candidates. Some should bite.
