Hello all | |||
AGM | |||
The AGM went well, except for one minor hitch. Due to a meeting right after ours we concluded the meeting once the votes were in instead of waiting to count them. There was a tie and due to everyone having left we were not able to do a run-off. As such the run-off is happening at a specially called General Meeting that is happening before our October board meeting. | |||
Advocacy | |||
The group that coalesced after the Whyte Ave bike infrastructure town hall has had its first meeting. I chaired it. We set out a terms of reference which settled on a name, rough goal, governance structure and a set of deliverables. These will be refined further at a visioning meeting on Nov. 3. There is a design charrette scheduled for Nov. 8, Tyler Golly from the city will be there. Both events will be at the the Strathcona Library. We went on an exploratory bike ride on Oct. 14. Four people participated. It was a useful exercise to determine areas of opportunity as well as future challenges. It was reported in a brief note in Metro. | |||
Advocacy Committee - Minutes are here. Moving ahead on the push for better data. We have volunteers looking into data collection options. | |||
Am also interested in participating in a possible partnership with Startup Edmonton in order to create some kind of bike route data collection app. | |||
Kristy Trynier meeting - Bike racks as public art | |||
Trynier is in charge of public art with the Edmonton Arts Council. She requested bike parking specs and design considerations. She was provided with them. She is currently formulating the large scale public art plan for the proposed SE to W LRT. When it's close to being done she'll submit a draft to me which I will be able to comment. Using the Percent For Art policy provides the cash but means a lot of paperwork. Lots of technical details but I am encouraged by her approach and she has been encouraged by her superiors to pursue this. She was going to follow up in regards to getting a demo project at the NAIT station. | |||
