President's Report

• Met with CoE Active Transportation group. They achieved 71% of their goal for this year, which is better than last year. On track for 55km by 2027, which is less than we hoped but more than we had before. We are increasingly getting more engagement from them, and we seem to be perceived as increasingly useful. They asked us for some help in designing 148th St (Candy Cane Lane). Karl feels there may be an opportunity for the Advocacy Committee to look closely for some specific changes to advocate for to improve the speed of implementation.
