December 15 BPAC Meeting
carey...@comcast.net
Attached is the agenda for the next Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission meeting to be held at Howard School in the Sonny West Auditorium at 5 pm Monday, December 15. Meetings are streamed live on the Metro YouTube channel.
It will include a presentation from the NDOT car parking enforcement efforts which some might suggest has little to do with walking and biking. It does indicate that car users are scofflaws. It reports that of almost 50,000 citations, a total of 326 were for parking in a bike lane. Perhaps the discussion will illuminate why there are so few.
The next meeting will be January 26. If you have suggestions for questions or issues to be discussed at a BPAC meeting feel free to let us know.

One issue that will continue to be discussed is the impact of East Bank construction, especially TPAC, on the Siegenthaler bike/ped bridge. A public meeting was held yesterday and the long and short is they promise to keep it open but there is no legal or written requirement to do so.

Included is a rather extensive review of the NDOT car parking enforcement efforts which some might suggest has little to do with walking and biking. It does indicate that car users are scofflaws.
