Open house Pipeline Rd infrastructure changes

Jack reported on this open house. There is potential for cyclists to lose space on the road and to be relegated to a MUP as a result of this project.

Committee Workshop recap

Committee heard from Andrew and Jack regarding the HUB Committee workshop put on at HUB's rather nice new DTES digs. Lots of interesting and useful information from successful HUB local committees.

Let's work on our #1 map gap, United Blvd.

Committee had a not-very-fruitful exchange with the Coquitlam guest speakers regarding United Blvd. It appears that there is very little possibility of progress on this front through Coquitlam. Yet this remains as one of the region's most significant map gaps. Committee resolved to explore other means of fixing this issue. It looks like there is some Translink funding available for routes along this corridor, for example.
