20110614 Bicycle Friendly Meeting
Diane Schleicher called the meeting to order and announced that Ethan Imhoff has been appointed chairman.
Those in attendance:
Ethan Imhoff, Denise Dubuque, Diane Schleicher, Chantel Morton, Jan Leviner, Michael Bodine, Jonathan Hagan and Sunny Brown
Ethan asked Ms. Schleicher to discuss the location of new signs showing Tybee has been designated as a Bicycle Friendly Community receiving the Bronze level. Diane suggested a sign
be place when coming on the Island and a decision on the second sign had not be made as of yet. She will bring suggestions to the next meeting on July 12, 2011.
Chantel discussed plans for the ceremonies on July 25. Bill Nesper will be flying in for the event and she will check his schedule and then finalize the event. There will be an official
presentation and the media will be invited. There will also be a bicycle ride from the round-about to Memorial Park on the official Bicycle Blvd with refreshments to follow.
Old Business:
Youth Bike Club. There has been no interest to date from the community. Ethan stated that we need long term goals and possibly develop a curriculum for this program. Jonathan Hagan
feels this program should have a set time, possibly a 6 week program and have three possible goals to achieve.
New Business:
Ethan asked Diane is we were locked into the Bronze level until 2015. She said she did not have that information at this time but would find out. She is also awaiting the report back
from the grant to show weak points to assist us in applying for the next level.
Denise would like to see additional bike racks at Tybee Oaks and also on Tybrisia. The question was also posed as to additional bike racks at the pier. We need to review the locations
for all existing bike racks.
Future meetings will be the second Tuesday of each month at 11:00AM.
