Coquitlam provided an overview of future plans on routes such as Nelson and Guildford, as well as maze gate removal updates.
It was noted there is no update on United Boulevard.

Noted ongoing construction of St. John's MUP, including a connection along Moody to the overpass. Scope includes curb bulbs and intersection narrowing.
Noted Port Moody is conceptualizing plans to make intersection changes at Ioco/Guildford/Murrary, including removal of slip lanes. The project would need to integrate with the future Guildford improvements in Port Moody and will likely be experimental in nature.
- It was noted that pilot slip lane removal has been done in some cases using bollards and paint. This could tie in with Port Moody's City of the Arts mantra.
Action Item: Andrew to write letter to Port Moody regarding Ioco/Guildford slip lane removal.

Vince has discussed updating the gap spreadsheet with Jeff Leigh. Intent is to align gap segments with municipal project boundaries to ensure easier tracking.
Noted we should add Nelson to the Top 10 Gap Map if Coquitlam is pursuing it. A motion to combine Gap 6 (Western Perimeter Trail extension) and Gap 9 (Mariner Way to Colony Farm Road) and use the new space to add Nelson Avenue between King Albert and Mackin Park carried successfully.
Action Item: Colin to update Upcoming Projects map
Action Item: Vince to update Gap spreadsheet to align with project map
Action Item: Colin to send new writeup for Gap #6 and #9 to Dragana
Action Item: Dragana to update gap map
Action Item: Colin to update Wiki screenshot and writeups, as well as map in the New Member Brochure, following map adjustments.

Dragana noted both Burnaby and Vancouver have passed motions regarding right turns on red.
This item may require further discussion with others given momentum.
Action item: Colin to discuss with Cathy

Dragana has created a document indicating snow response in each city. Dragana requested a map and data from Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Port Moody.
Port Moody and Port Coquitlam both provided a map of priority sidewalks and MUPs for snow clearing. Coquitlam did not provide one.
Further, Coquitlam's form for submitting snow clearing requests only indicates roadways with no way to select sidewalks, MUPs, or bike lanes.
Noted Coquitlam tracks snow clearing in real time for roads but not sidewalks, MUPs, or bike lanes.
Vince notes importance of clearing routes to school, i.e. sidewalks.
Action item: Dragana to perform minor confidentiality edits and send to Colin
Action item: Colin to upload to Wiki

Brief discussion ensued. Largely supportive of proposed changes. Committee decided to change "kept appraised of developments" to "Keep appraised of survey and feedback opportunities".
Noted boothing at 3 events may be difficult but HUB should update booth materials, including a map of HUB's work to date.
Action item: Colin to build map of HUB's achievements to date.

Noted HUB Central will be hosting an Advance Your Ride session next month. This will provide us the opportunity to host our own assessment rides.
Vince suggests we host an assessment ride this summer. Colin to add to agenda.
