    • As this is cycling based service using three wheeled rickshaws to take elderly people (typically from nursing homes) on outings, he thought that HUB would be supportive of this activity.

    • In response to a question about what HUB HQ could do for us Fred mentione Phibbs exchnage – we met with designers about two months ago to give them our input – they are going to redevelop the whole site to make more room for buses - there will be a bike connection up to Orwell but no good plan for east-west bike traffic.

    • 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.
    • Paving segments in the 2012 Bicycle Master Plan:
      • 29th Street – DNV currently has a comment open on there website. We should continue to encourage people to contribute. Also HUB NS should submit an official letter with our recommendations. http://www.dnv.org/news/share-your-thoughts-proposed-e29th-st-safety-improvements
