• 2018 DNV repaving list / budget spend - received
  • Background: March 2018 DNV provided a preliminary list of paving projects to Tony. I have reviewed the list and compared them to the 2012 Bicycle Master Plan, BMP. All of the paving segments that are part of the BMP I have highlighted in red on the map. The ones that are not are in grey. The orange lines are cycle routes that are currently have an ongoing review/comment program.
  • Proposal: We should gather comments on the segments listed below using our yahoo group, and discuss/approval a draft at our May meeting and then submit them with a request to see the plans for cycle improvements to be included as part of these repaving projects.
