#Riverview: BC Housing has agreed to do some signage and brush clearing. Colin and Andrew will be going on an assessment ride on Sunday at 7:00 AM to scope out where lighting needs to go. The committee wants to pursue two signage systems: one marking the road route through the site, and the other through the trail. Depending on lighting and comfort on a wooded path, riders could make their own best decision. Vince says even in rush hour the route was always very safe. Dragana mentions that the roads need sharrows on it to be considered an official bike route. '''Colin and Andrew will go on an assessment ride.

Report from Colleen. Unfortunately canned at the April 25 council meeting, but not necessarily gone forever. Some misinformation circulating made it harder to get it through. Paused for now. |

==Thermal/Baker Hill== |
|||
Vince rode it recently and does not feel it's suitable for biking. The staircase between Park and Corona is particularly tough. Leon agrees - especially for people using e-bikes, staircase is tough. Even with runnels, it would be difficult. Leon suggests a better way parallel to Mariner using Dewdney, Buoy, an alley behind Mariner, Hawser, Plimsoll, cutthroughs, and Spuraway. The committee will pause advocacy on Thermal/Baker. |

==Port Moody Transportation Committee== |
|||
Andrew says Port Moody now has a spreadsheet to decide on which routes to prioritize upgrading to AAA from painted lines/not-AAA infra. Port Moody wants quick-build, low cost infrastructure - just like our previous letter asked. Port Moody is considering protecting Guildford to align with Coquitlam's plans, but unsure of how this would work given bike lanes are too narrow. Port Moody also presented the same Bedwell Bay Road presentation we received. The Transportation Committee felt the MUP is better than a 1.8m narrow bike/walking lane on each side. |

Colin made a mistake - this is not the Tri-City News. Dragana has registered HUB Cycling's Tri-Cities Committee as a non-profit in Coquitlam! We will be getting a free advertisement in the non-profit mailout. Samples form Jonathan were presented and everything looks great! Dragana will send off our approval to Jonathan. |

#United: The proposed west MUP between King Edward and the waste facility is now tendering! The city is expecting completion later this year. Also, the new Fraser Mills development wants to build bike lanes through it. Maybe a potential collaboration can happen? Vince reached out to the city and has heard nothing. Andrew is now reaching out to Beedie directly. Lots of discussion around the possibilities for timing and what the outcomes will be. |

Municipal Election stuff
No major updates.
Go By Bike Week
Andrew, Vince, and Dragana all volunteered at GBBW events. All 3 noted a major increase in traffic this year compared to other years. Having the city staff nearby was a nice touch! Many people asked about Guildford Way protected bike lanes specifically. The locations were great choices. Andrew will email HUB Central and ask them to maintain the same stations and concept for next year given the overwhelming success.
Hybrid meetings
Looks a bit complicated. The committee will resume discussions in September and make a decision then.
HUB Central assessment ride
TransLink staff, including CEO Kevin Quinn, rode through Coquitlam and Port Moody on bike for an assessment ride. There was a clear interest in TransLink staff and getting things built and funded. There is optimism in the air.
Other Business
- TransLink has now launched a wayfinding volunteer program at bike routes. Vince wonders if they will do a similar thing for bike navigation. The committee will keep an eye open!
- Andrew has a request to see if HUB would be interested in doing a table at the upcoming Farmer's Market. Andrew will send out some days and the committee will check their calendars
- Bike counting. Dragana and Vince both did counting this year. Dragana chose the King Albert Greenway near the Como Creek Bridge and noted similar counts to last year, but fewer people. Vince chose Smith/Macintosh and noted much fewer people. Maybe this is because it wasn't done on GBBW?
- Break: The Committee is on break until September. See you then!
