On the whole it was a very positive meeting and we plan on following up in the new year. They're willing to work with us to get the best possible bike infrastructure for this project but they're mostly worried about political blowback from residents and council. I get the feeling they're confident they can install good infrastructure if only the city would let them. Let's create the conditions so that these people can do the best they can do. | On the whole it was a very positive meeting and we plan on following up in the new year.

* January 15th - Complete Streets Strathcona meeting at Strathcona Library | |||
A lot of discussion around the report. Who is it for? It's for administration on guidance for the design and it's for council to convince them that this is needed infrastructure. | |||
A move away from the design team drawing fully featured mockups of the whole route. Instead, an overview of the whole route plus a couple of examples of blocks for people to react to at the open house. | |||
I am going to email Tyler Golly and get CSS to speak whenever Transportation gets in front of council to talk about reframing their priorities. | |||
The research report should be completed and important parts should be drawn out for people to react to at the open house which we're tentatively planning for late April, early May. | |||
That research report will be submitted with the summary of findings from the next open house. | |||
We need to chat with Murray about that open house and getting business owners to participate in it. | |||
I have a CACCL meeting that I'm doing a presentation at in February. From that I need to get feedback in order to draw up a letter of support that the community leagues and OSBA could sign onto. | |||
