5. Correspondence: | |||
I wrote to the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy on July 4 indicating Bike Edmonton has in-house expertise that could assist with analysing the merits of a parking benefit district. | |||
I received the following response on July 10: | |||
"Thanks for the email and your interest in the Old Strathcona Public Realm Strategy. Bike Edmonton is an important partner supporting cycling and active modes in the city!" | |||
Thanks for your questions regarding the April motion from Council. Our Mobility Strategies section within our Urban Planning & Economy department, which includes transportation planners and engineers, is working on the motion and related analysis. I've included my colleague Jordan Reimer on the cc who is involved and can provide more info on the scope and timelines." | |||
I can provide verbal commentary as to role the Old Strathcona farmers market and Business association have played thus far. | |||
We are still in need for more volunteers for our Saturday shifts. Sign up here | |||
