# 3 (5:09) Member and Guest Communications/Announcements
Joyce was in Sierra Vista, AZ, and they had a Borrow-a -Bike program through
the library. No charge. Jen said she would make contact with library director.
Joyce also had a map of mountain bike trails from Sierra Vista. Steve
Boughton - WCBTC has acquired a bunch (130ish) of single-speed bikes, step-
through frames that could be used for bikeshare. WTA is doing bikeshare
with Kaiser. They are using these bikes.
Stephan Belding is on the SWC CAC, and is a liaison to Steering Committee, if
anyone has thoughts on bike/ped infrastructure for SW corridor.
S. Boughton announced Summer bike camp. Had NICE postcards on it. The
need instructors, and want to grow the program with more classes, more
weeks, more kids.
#4 (5:30) Tigard St Trail
Lloyd Purdy updated us on the Tigard St Trail project. Expect construction in
2018, community input in 2017. Will make the area behind Symposium event
space. Lloyd said the Taste of Tigard will be in this space on June 17.

#5 (5:41) Tour de Parks/ Bike to Market
To hold the Tour de Parks, Sharon said we would need a Special Events
permit. She is not sure if we need insurance. Will need to coordinate with
police. Anthony had said he could staff the registration tent/tables. Steve
Boughton did not want us to use the Tour de Parks name. No one seemed to
step up and be interested in leading this.
# 6 (6:20) Elections
Joyce won re-election as Chair. Jen Vasicek is Vice Chair. Ben Gooley is TTAC
Liaison.
#7 (6:25) Bike to Market
Jen suggested June 111h as the best day for it. This is before school lets out.
There was some thought that we could do a few of these if it worked out.
Might want to have a valet parking area for bikes. Jen has spoken to the new
shop at Progress Ridge (Veloce), and Buff spoke to Bikeworks— both are
interested in participating.
We will discuss this at next meeting. There was a sense that focusing on the
Bike to Market this year, and possibly doing it multiple times over the
summer, might be enough for the group.
