Meeting with CNV bylaw officer being scheduled with Heather. Focus on concerns with delivery vehicles blocking bike lanes in and around Lower Lonsdale / Esplanade. Although enforcement will help, major delivery companies treat it as the cost of doing business and design solution is needed. Erika noted a confrontation with a UPS driver who had blocked the Esplanade bike lane - response was they do it every day.
Next meeting - TBD
- We have requested monthly meetings with staff (but have not heard back)
Action items: plan meetings with Councillors to present our goals
20 in 20 list - Google maps and spreadsheet summaries complete including items from 2018 that were not completed.

Riverside Drive delineators - concerns relayed to various levels of staff. Responses indicate the delineators were installed to protect walkers and those using transit but width is substandard and there is no provision for on-road riding (signage, speed limit reductions). No immediate action appears to be forthcoming other than future plans will address long term needs.
