Agenda items

Recap of meeting with Jeff Leigh

Jeff L. is the chair of HUB "Mothership". Met with Jack and a Surrey HUBster regarding updating a bike priorities map for Translink. This will contribute to how TL funds projects.

Translink interested in Clark-Murray Street (!) as a priority; this doesn't match PoMo's current priorities at all. Jack mentioned: - David Avenue - United Blvd. - Lougheed Highway

Issues: If cities don't/ won't buy in, it's hard to see what will come of TL's priorities. Usual conflicts between regional and local interests apply.
