Linda has suggested that each CPO develop a similar committee and that we coordinate activities. Virginia has proposed that we prepare a newsletter article or the CPO newsletters. o According to Linda Gray, the issue of “fragmented sidewalks” is already on the county DLUT work plan but is low on priority – i.e. missed the cut last time major transportation issues where ranked circa 2005. o Still playing phone tag with Kathryn Harrington. Virginia has suggested that Metro send a representative who is responsible for trails/connectivity to the next meeting. We will request that the representative discuss how stimulus money allocated for bicycle and trail development can be allocated to CPO-1. o Hal Ballard, Director of the Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition, has agreed to endorse the letter. o James T. is attempting outreach to Cedar Miler’s group to obtain their endorsement. · Website: o Virginia has sent out a list of suggested sections for expanding the CPO-1 Connections section of the CPO-1 website. o Members are encouraged to provide ideas/photos etc. · Outstanding items: o Health Impact Assessment Mentor Program follow up o Letter to Marshall Street neighbors New Business: · Timberland Trail Appeal o Jeffrey Jensen the property owner immediately north of the trail connection at the south end of 114th Avenue has appealed the decision [to develop the trail].
