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.

Transportation PBS Advisory Committee Meeting Notes Pedestrian-Bicycle advisory Sub-committee (PBS) #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. 6:36 Meeting Adjourned
