Hi everyone,

I inserted the wrong link for the interactive bike parking map in my previous message.  Please check out the map here:  https://burlingtonvt.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=46f7f7e2660246b383c5a6c6e7fb3ef4.  (The link is correct on the PDF agenda that was attached.)

If you are interested in bike parking, please contribute to the map whether you are interested in attending the BWBC meeting or not.  

Also on the bicycle and pedestrian ordinance proposals, for those who haven’t tuned into previous discussions, I just want to let you know that the majority of deletions proposed are because we have state laws that are similar and more up-to-date and walk/bike friendly than Burlington’s existing ordinance language.  The deletions seek to remove redundancy and any confusion that might arise from inconsistency between city and state laws.  

Thanks!  

Faith Ingulsrud
