Laurie, Lynne, Louis, Scott, Eve, Kim

Healing Forrest – want our endorsement, what can we do? Laurie will away and talk to Sarah James.

Traffic Plans – Kim – The bike lane along Arbutus is more chaotic, traffic is being routed Maple, Cypress.
Options:

• Send the COV pictures and stats of what is happening (rolling stops, cars going wrong direction, bikers and cars confused at Arbutus and Creelman)
• Approach Slow streets to enforce less Zigg-Zags through Kits Point and designate it as a Slow Street
  • Kim has maps – artery through Chestnut and Arbutus, how do people get in and out and to limit
    the desirability of people coming in by vehicle traffic
  • Remove free parking, move parking on the north end of Arbutus
• Can we as the KPRA approach the city to do something to calm the streets?
• Hire a Traffic Consultant – Laurie to provide info to Kim, cost out, budget and potentially do fundraising, Adam can ask the Hub People, then regroup to understand process and go forward plan.

Senawk – Scott – Backgrounder has been prepared, well researched. With the recent “new” that the services
agreement will be signed on May 25 th changes our strategy on the go forward.

• Renderings that show scale – Brain Palmquist – Can we ask them to do some renderings on the
  development – Adam/Scott
• Story is imminent – bad urban planning, will negatively impact city, city is claiming no jurisdiction
  when they have jurisdiction
