Agenda
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
Hello Bike Board, liaisons, friends and guests: Our next meeting is next Wednesday, June 3, at the City
Commission room in City Hall (Rouse and Lamme). Most of our meeting will be devoted to a roundtable discussion, Q&A with key city staff to help the Bike Board become effective in advocating
for bicycling around the city and county. A starting point list of questions is below. Board members and guests – please identify your other questions (or from guests, the questions
you think we should be asking) ahead by emailing “reply all”.
Our agenda includes:
6:00 Introductions and Public Comment period
6:10 – 7:15 Roundtable discussion with John
Vandelinder (Streets), Andy Epple (Planning), Natalie Meyer (Grants & Climate Protection), and ? from Engineering(?)
Here are some of the questions we’re interested in:
How does the
transportation plan get implemented (aside from new developments – and with these, what are the ways the t-plan recommendations can be circumvented?)?
Is there an annual transportation
implementation plan (TIP?)?
How are annual priorities determined?
What are the options for getting recommended bike/ped facilities implemented, for example bike lanes striped, and
when?
What’s the status of the “sidewalk program” advocated by the Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Committee
What is involved with the Climate Protection program? Are there opportunities
to interface with the Bike Board goal of increasing bike commuting by the Bozeman public?
What funding options might be on the horizon for hiring a bike/ped coordinator?
What kinds of
transportation/bike facility related decisions can be made by city staff and what decisions require mayoral and/or commission involvement?
7:15 – 8:00 Board business
Review Bike to
Work Week process, “SOPs” from Baker (preparatory to planning for fall “bike to school” week?)
Begin discussion of fund-raising options – elect treasurer??
Begin discussion of charter
amendment to include county appointees
