Attendees: Blake, Jasper, Wendy, Arseni (first timer, welcome!), Sebastian, Roger, Julian

  1. Introductions
  2. Went over June meeting minutes
  3. Need to follow up on Midtown report: Blake will email City of Burnaby Transportation Department
  4. Planning to have (some) meetings in person at BPL. Book a room in time for the Oct meeting.
  5. PR event to talk to the public about Burnaby's HUB LC.
    Maybe not a tent, just the sign and handing out maps.
    At BCIT in the morning would require permission and is inconvenient timing.
    Better on Central Valley Greenway on the weekend - tentative area to be near the intersection of Still Creek and Gilmore.
    Blake will send out a survey sheet to plan the day.
  6. Jasper and Roger reporting on City Council minutes and agendas.
  7. Gap map. Write a letter suggesting Gamma bike way to connect to Frances St.
  8. Julian: Transportation committee will start meeting in Nov. Jasper will attend on behalf of the LC.
  9. Budget
    - End of year get-together.
    - Might get "Nitro" for discord
    - First aid training for public rides valid only for Wendy, Sebastian might do it in time for spring ride.
    - Start a sheet to brainstorm and vote on spending topics
  10. Discord: Blake will check access rights for committee members so that we can organise channels and post rules.
  11. Priorities map should be updated regularly and sent to the city every 6 months. A list-type document would be better for sending to the city. Jasper will look into exporting the map. Need a system to update and track priorities. Create a discord channel to plan.
  12. Next assessment ride, maybe BC parkway or Sea to River. In spring.
  13. Blake will send the Frances/Union report to the city.
  14. Public ride in spring: 4 town centers.
  15. Jasper reporting: Winston St construction without usable detour until 2025. Jasper will write an email to the City suggesting dedicated infrastructure on Bainbridge between Greenwood and Boadway for people to avoid Winston.
  16. Went over letters sent.
  17. Roger and Blake will write a letter to encourage adding elephant's feet to Burnaby bylaw. Make it legal for people to cross on bikes - especially on dedicated bike paths such as Sea to River. Write another letter about green paint and markings in general.
  18. Cargo bike rental at BPL: write to library staff after gathering ideas on discord.
  19. Ride suggestions on LC's wiki page: create a few more
  20. Upcoming HUB AGM: looked at board of director candidates
  21. Shorten future meetings: start at 7pm and go for 60 min to 90 min with target time for each element on the agenda.
