* Discussion notes: | * Discussion notes: | ||
*Why is the wiki not working? --It is, it's just slow sometimes. It's probably at our hands, having to do with our hosting. | |||
*Is the external events section an aritfact? --No. | |||
*Coreen's report says party left the shop cleaner than they found it? --True, but they also left alcohol. That cannot happen, especially when the Spoke is there next. | |||
*Is there a plan regarding the missing money from BWS? --Chris: I've just heard about it now. We were supposed to be doing daily cash-outs already. She says she's doing them now. We've never trained volunteers to do that before; it sounds like we are now. | |||
*How are we engaging with the City's process on bike lanes? --Feb 13th: Mandel calls bike lanes a nightmare, asks for a report to come back about the consultation process. That will come back on March 13th to the Transportation Committee meeting. It will probably be a recap of last 6 years of consultation and a rationale, explaining their job. There's no motion yet to fight. This committee would recommend any changes/cancellations to council. | |||
*Do we have a sense of where things are at? --Amarjeet is the chair, the mayor has influence ... | |||
*Where should EBC board/membership be focussing? --supporting the staff who are working on bike lanes ... We've only had a little pushback from members saying "these lanes aren't good enough." | |||
*Is more of the same useful, or do we need a new message? --depends on mayor at transportation meeting. Unfortunate that we're being reactive, but it's out of our hands. We'll get people to request to speak ... so round up some folks! | |||
*We need to line up some allies who can speak positively about bike lanes from their own areas (fitness, education) | |||
*New costs associated with Canbike? ABA membership seems trivial, are there other costs? --Probably not much. Chris is not completely sure we have the capacity to offer CANBIKE this year. | |||
*They want CANBIKE for city staff, they want us to offer it. They don't have any money right now for an urban cycling skills class for the general public. | |||
*Anna: at work, I'm helping community leagues set up "Ride to Survive" (hate that name) classes. Offered on a demand basis, so we'd have to do more promotion at the League level. Chris: I still have some money I'm sitting on for adult education, we should work together on that. Community Services might be a good way to go rather than Sustainable Transportation. | |||
*Could some Ride to Symphony money go to Minnesota mayor for speaking fees? Something to keep in mind. | |||
