**re: Vue article: highlight bike routes, getting info from Chris; should add volunteer or something? Bring more ideas and bike routes?

**AB: Callingwood mrkt: who would do that? volunteer? staff? CCh- we could do it and make $ off of it. Our fees should really be higher, in order to cover our costs. Our currents rates don't do that. AB: As long as you can get at least one person to do it. SG: no prob with doing them as long as we follow through once committed. CCh: I could do this since it's close to my house. Rest of Board: As long as it doesn't interfere with your other jobs. | **AB: Callingwood mrkt: who would do that? volunteer? staff? CCh- we could do it and make $ off of it.

*Community conversation re: SLRT: basically an angry pitchfork meeting. | |||
**Mill Woods line: Have largely lost battle for parallel bike lanes. Road right-of-way is priority, alread losing enough road space to LRT, no-one wants to cede more to bikes apparently. | |||
**How to get bike onto LRT: DK keeps bringing it up. | |||
**ample bike parking at stations; SLRT existing is basically ridiculous. | |||
**bike infrastructure: ride to stations & stops | |||
**"action item": way for us to lead the way re: bike parking/public art? Larry (someone) keen to have art=bike parking. Next step for us: making contacts with metal artists and metal sculptors. approach, put together short proposal, speak to LRT/transport people. General consensus among board. MBC: make sure art is also actually functional for locking your bike to. DK: we have those resources. | |||
**couple of bike lane consultations, pretty chill, looking forward to upcoming. | |||
