Public Input/Consultations


Goals & Objectives

  • Implementation of 3 top priority Bikeways
  • Establish communications with community stakeholders re Bikeways.
  • Recruit more committee members - some of the ideas include:
    • On the roles page, include time estimates, and highlight some of the "less time" positions
    • Industry rep? see if bike shops would be interested
    • More diversity - how to connect?
    • Shorter more focused meetings
      • Breakouts for specific topics? (Muni's, MoTI, projects?)
      • Liaison verbal reports limited to one or two items needing group input or heeding help (keep the full written ones for all to read)
    • Onboarding - critical to involving new attendees - membership coordinator?
    • Retaining is easier than recruiting, best fix for burnout is more helping hands
    • Many don't know about local committee and what we do, explain this better on communications channels?
    • Capitalize on controversy when it occurs
    • What did I miss?


Events

  • Outdoor Safety and Emergency Preparedness - May 7th, 11-2pm, Argyle
    • looking for a couple volunteers to staff the booth
