Maine DOT active transportation plan- Webinar recording, link to plan

[Winston Lumpkins]

Hi folks,

Yesterday I attended the Bicycle Coalition of Maine's Webinar on the Maine DOT's active transportation plan. 

It was recorded, and is only an hour long- I think it's worth listening too. 

My takeaway is that it might be really helpful for some smaller communities, but Portland needs to go a lot further.

Public comment closes on the 30th, however, I may consider putting this on the Agenda at our February meeting, to send a late comment to key employees of the DOT, especially if folks are down for reviewing the plan, and coming up with such a comment....  Not sure I'm the right person to lead that effort is all I'm saying!

Here's the link to the slides from the webinar, its recording, and a link to the full plan.

Feel welcomed to share your thoughts on this below (whether you watch the webinar, or have reviewed the whole plan)- perhaps you'll say something we can use in such a late comment.
