TransportationCommission | 2020-09-23 | 10 | Staff Member Wheeler said that was the plan to use the survey to see what were the priorities and what would be the implementation plan be. Obviously, with implementation, they would need to know the costs and they would meld together cost and priorities. Commissioner Weitze was surprised by the low amount of children who walk to school in groups and discussed ways to improve that. He also wanted to make it a priority to get bikes into commercial districts. Ms. LaBatt wanted to answer Commissioner Weitze's earlier question. She said that it was 23% of West Enders use active transportation, 15% walk or use a mobility device on the sidewalk, 11% ride a bike, and 4% ride a bike to get off the island. Chair Soules was curious how this worked with the Travel Demand survey that had been done earlier. She brought up that reliability is very important when it comes to using public transportation and how many high schoolers will drive their own cars to high school. She added that if anyone had additional thoughts they wanted to think more about they should email Staff Member Wheeler. 7. Announcements / Public Comments Jim Strehlow was amazed that no one had mentioned that Bike to Wherever Day was tomorrow and cyclists could pick up goody bags at participating locations. Chair Soules thanked Mr. Strehlow and said more information on Bike Wherever Day could be found on the city's website. 8. Adjournment Chair Soules adjourned the meeting at 9:47 p.m. Approved Minutes - Transportation Commission September 23, 2020 10 | TransportationCommission/2020-09-23.pdf |
