Met with Anna Vesala to finalize board job descriptions. Coordinated press release and media availability with Chris Chan on the same day. | |||
Wrote up SMART goal for BWN. On Google Drive. | |||
Attended both public consultations for the 2013 on-street bike routes. The one at Hazeldean School on Feb. 12 and the one at Crestwood School on Feb. 20. Did several media interviews at both - Almost all TV except for one CBC radio interview on the 20th. | |||
Feb. 6 - Gave a presentation to Oliver Community League board. Prep for the Feb. 27th event. Talked basic traffic safety, road design and Edmonton cycling stats. | |||
Multiple phone calls and emails on the Advocacy Google Group as we gathered information and tried to stay on top of 2013 on-street bike lane issues. Unfortunately we were reacting to both Kerry Diotte and the mayor. Included calls to the mayor's chief of staff and the principal of St. Cecilia school. Sent email to my councillor and the mayor as per Chris's call to action. | |||
Prepped for CACCL meeting on Feb. 21 for Complete Streets Strathcona. Attended the meeting as president anyways to meet the people involved and because bike lanes were on the agenda. Generally sympathetic at the community league level. Ben Henderson was there. Reiterated a lot of my points on the change in the city's agenda - quality over quantity etc. | |||
Prepped for Feb. 27 at Oliver Community League Hall. The idea is to get a broad coalition going like we have for 83rd for 100, 102 and 105 Aves. Getting more familiar with the Prezi format. | |||
Made some preliminary inquiries about getting Mayor Ryback of Minneapolis up to Edmonton for Bike Month, possible coordinating it with Bike to the Symphony as Bill Eddings is a Minneapolis resident. | |||
A lot of overlap with the Advocacy Committee this month, for obvious reasons. | |||
