• positive outcome for the developers
• Andrew spoke there on behalf of HUB and pushed connectivity

Update from Andrew re. Port Moody MTP "TransPortMoody"

• File:Mtp approved.pdf

BikeBC money for Coquitlam

• Coquitlam got ~400K in funding for an ~1M Dogwood-Fairview Greenway
• http://www.tricitynews.com/news/funds-for-new-2-2-km-greenway-in-coquitlam-1.14088841
• We did write something in support of this project
• Jack to follow up on this with Coquitlam

Call for Cycle Highway Working Group

• Jack, Andrew, Jeff to look into joining, anyone else will be welcome too
• Committee identified United Blvd as a prime cycle-highway not included in email
• Andrew H. to reply and follow up

UnGap the Map updates

• Committee identified major north-south and east-west connections as the main map gaps in the Coquitlam map.
• Dream E-W route: separated lane along Austin, the natural east-west connector
  • Reality: Austin is busy and Coquitlam is cut up by many natural barriers. This lane would be politically costly although it certainly makes the most sense and is wasteful as a car-only route.
• Dream N-S route: Connect Gatensbury up to Maillardville via Marmont or Nelson.
  • This one doesn't have to be politically or financially expensive... would just be a matter of better

PoCo Grand Prix

• seeking HUB volunteers
• Our classic booth is an easy and effective thing to do. But, any more creative ideas?

AOB

• HUB AGM in Coquitlam
  • Coq library has the capacity and proximity to Skytrain
  • Exact dates to come
  • Jack to look into getting a room booked inexpensively

• Group rides
  • Let's set up a group ride before BTWW, some Sunday after Wheel to Heal?
  • Suggested route (from Jeff) - across Pitt River Bridge, around some dikes
  • May 12th-19thish, but not Mothers' Day
