July PBPAC meeting: Monday July 8th, 7PM on Zoom

[Winston Lumpkins]

Hi folks,

Our next meeting is next week, Monday, July 8th! 

We'll be meeting on Zoom at: https://maine.zoom.us/j/82362843383

Google Document Agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_BgFSmt07_g98ctIn4e0Du9Jm6691pN6QkqBzY5njp0/edit?usp=sharing

Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/share/6kG3NNhpEQb61RDG/

There isn't actually that much on the agenda this month; it may be a short meeting for once!

Most of the agenda is the reports section; which might be brief as I'm not sure how much progress has been made by any of the sub committees. I know the committee structure committee hasn't made much beyond my initial manic research phase.

Reports:

1. Legislative Sub Committee 

2. Bike Theft Sub Committee 

3. Committee structure subcommittee

4. Casco and Veterans Bridge ride/run audit report

We'll also be discussing upcoming events, though most of those will be some ways off. 

Feel free to email me if there's anything you'd like added to the Agenda!

See you next Monday!

~Winston

I'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow! 

I added a section to the agenda about the next city council meeting, which lands on the 15th this month, we'll discuss attending and making some non-agenda public comments to bring some of our recent letters and work to the attention of the council.

Thanks for the reminder Winston. Unfortunately I have to miss the meeting tomorrow but wanted to add a couple items to the agenda that we can chew on via the listserve and hopefully you can cover at the meeting:

1) Does anyone know why the raised speed table on Stevens Ave at Deering High School was removed? Is there a plan to restore it?

2) I suggest we plan a Councilor and Candidate Ride in late September or early October to cover the long envisioned circum-peninsula bicycle route. This would cover large portions of Council Districts 1 and 2, and be a good opportunity to talk about some good work that has been done in the past, and what's still needed to complete the full loop. Ideally we can get some City staff to attend the ride and give updates on upcoming connections in Bayside and Parkside.

Damon, maybe #1 is the beginning of this “mill and fill” project?

Yea, it looks like the DoT has plans for traffic calming on Stevens Ave. I didn't see a narrative description/summary but the drawings suggest as much.
