CCBC Planning meeting

Time to get serious. Our next meeting is critical in our next steps forward:

1. Strategize Culver City activity: Formation of a Bicycle Advisory Committee - BAC - (for real); Updating the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan  - BPMP - (for real); Planning advocacy for Washington Blvd. (Downtown to the Metro Station) and the TOD at the Expo Station

2. Selecting officers - This is critical. We need to be more organized in order to have a unified voice. The BAC, BPMP and Washington Blvd are going to happen and soon. If you are serious about wanting real change, then the CCBC needs your help. Please consider taking on a more active role so together, Culver City can be the bike friendly city we know it can be

3. CicLAvia wrapup and thank you to Patrick and Michele

4. Plan our next social activity (ride, party...?)
