Mission reflection

We agreed to review HUB’s mission at the beginning of the meeting to ground ourselves in the work that we do

COVID check-in

Colleen has had enough of COVID! The pandemic is really hard to deal with and we may just be getting started. It's going to be hard to do meaningful bike advocacy under these conditions but we'll give it a try.

Action plan update

Andrew is working on a draft here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VRhyjv56GyRwnjdd64PWEV_K_ywDsJ0sP2BX4LM_lHE/edit

Three committee priorities: 1. Improve our relationship with municipalities, 2. improve committee focus, and 3. improve our visibility in the community.

Committee generally likes this plan. Everyone is invited to have a bash at the doc and add comments or just edit it.

2020 20 in 20

Cancelled :-( I (Andrew) am getting tired of everything being cancelled but this was inevitable. It's a shame because it perfectly fits in with our first committee priority.

Coquitlam update

Scott S. is working on getting an email to Coquitlam staff. It's tough now because everything is so messed up.

PoCo bridge update

Kathryn is working on getting an email to PoCo staff about projected improvements to the PoCo Coquitlam River bridge. Same situation as previous item: we have to give municipalities a bit more space. In my (it's Andrew here) opinion this isn't such a big deal but let's not lose track of it.

App update

Dragana is interested in using our 20 in 20 app for mapping cycling kudos and problems, maybe for Bike Month. This seems like a great idea that could work with social distancing.

Any other business

Using join.me was somewhat disastrous. We're going to use Leon's Zoom account next time.
