Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordination Committee Meeting   5/18/2023

And the floor is yours.

How many people would you say came by, Alberic?

Yeah, usually about like, you know, two to three people at a time usually there, and then just overall, I'd say about 20, which I think was a success, because it is a busy intersection, and it's not the easiest thing to access if you're, you know, across at millions of people like that, but people, people came by, so it was awesome.

Sara, Alberec, Lucinda, any thoughts so far?

But I think so far from what I've heard, I mean, you said the bike bus had 50 people, 350 people.

The bike bus itself had like 10 people total.

I think it's been a great week.

So I'm going to hop over and do that.

Daytable, you must go to the e-bike table and you must go to the City County VDOT, TJPDC Bike Ped Planning meeting because that would be like eight hours of their time and they'd get fired for nothing, not much time can work.

I thought I saw David and Ikon

Wait, what did you say, Ryan?

Oh.

I know I lost network connection, so I had to jump on the Wi-Fi.

OK.

Didn't know if you had any updates on some trails, some easements.

So I'll keep you posted on that.

That's probably the trail update this week.

I'm really busy wrapping up.

So that went from a like, looks like it could be happening to like an official thing that can, you know, the city is announcing via press release, like very quickly.

Yeah, I think it was like three months ago we walked the golf course with the golf staff and they were like, yeah, let's do this lightning speed for government work.

Sadly, it doesn't go to Riverview Park, but in a way, it kind of will be a good way to get downtown from a place like Dunlora.

But yeah, that would be the next leg and then you're tied in directly to downtown on the parkway.

It sounds really great.

about to be under construction in planning the land all in hand and become the first linear greenway that's really connected, more speakers, slower process.

Yeah, Chris, that sounds great.

Or it's getting solved.

That is two Saturdays out, I think.

For example, like if perhaps host an event at one of the Penn Park Technic Pavilion or something like that.

I don't know if you have anything more you want to share?

That's all.

That's actually just day before yesterday, somebody said, what's going on with the Berkmar Extension?

But right now it's not funded enough, unfortunately.

Thanks, Alberic.

Glad that you were able to join us.

Thank you, Peter.

When you say a permanent counter, that's the permanent counter that the district can use to move to different locations to get their bike counts or it's been permanently installed in one location.

But we're going to be kind of expanding our permanent count locations as well.

Is that kind of redundant for us?

I don't know, David, if you can comment on what may or may not be

But if they connect to a nearby commercial area or a neighborhood, then obviously we'll want to have that data in there.

Thanks.

I'll open it up now to the PDC staff to see if there are any updates.

If I get my hands on it, I'll share it with the group.

Yeah, Lucinda, do you want to share the mobility management updates?

So that's something that we're going to look at too, but we want to make sure that we're kind of measuring the need and strategically working on our next steps.

We're hoping that we can get that procurement completed, you know, probably around the August time frame, and then we'll be able to really start launching into the project probably around September.

Sara, I don't know, or Curtis, if one of you want to... Just a couple of very quick things.

So you'll hear more about that in the future.

Great, thanks Sarah.

Thanks for coming.

Thank you all.
