*B.W.N. Policy Development? | *B.W.N. Policy Development? | ||
How will we handle haggling or free parts at B.W.N.? This is one policy that needs development. The type of locks also need to be decided upon. A Fenced-In Area Out-Of-Doors for bike storage would also be a necessary development. Bike Tools for B.W.N. already obtained. However, basic hand tools, compressors, etc. need to be gathered. | How will we handle haggling or free parts at B.W.N.? This is one policy that needs development.

However, basic hand tools, compressors, etc. need to be gathered. An opening party or "Space-Shower" would be great! It will take time for the BWN to be running at the same capacity that we all have grown accustomed to. What needs consideration is the greater number of challenges inherent in the BWN's location in a depressed neighborhood. The building code has a $240 fee in order to access the pdf. | ||

Eyes & Ears in the community in order to promote Bike Stuff. Call for alternative Bike Hotline, other than calling the City @ #311. If we wish to push for more bike lanes, we must ensure that the only ppl who attend civic hearings are not those who are against them. | |||

Largest bike conference in the world! Duncan connected to many Planners & Architects who are planning to go. Duncan wishes to form an Edmonton Contigent. | |||
*Tony Caterina: Personal attack on bikes lanes... Specifically ones planning for 97th Street DT. EBC must be careful what sort of image we project as a result of itenifying those who oppose. We would love to send a Ward or City Rep to the conference, but the possibility of sending someone is low amongst those who simple have never been anywhere where there is a large base of commuter cyclists. Brett suggests that Further discussion in the advocacy committee needed. Shall we sind an EBC Board Member or City Councillor? | |||
