[ndcf] Bis/Man bike commuter meetings - Record of comments from September

[Liebig Family]

Greetings!

Attached is a record of comments from last month's bike commuter meetings in Bismarck and Mandan.  The comments are organized into three sections.  The first section is comprised of two pages and represents input organized by potential action items.  If you have time to review only one section, make it this one.  The second and third sections are what was captured off the flip charts for the Bismarck and Mandan meetings, respectively.  Those sections are pretty rough.  My apologies to those of you who attended the meetings if I didn't capture exactly what you meant.

Speaking of attendees, I'd like to thank Brian Beattie, Alan Dohrmann, Ben Ehreth, Jason Gross, Ben Kubischta, Bob Scarlet, Anita Thomas, and Mark Zimmerman for providing input on bike commuting issues during the first round of meetings.  Many important issues were brought forth, and as you'll see in the attached document, there are plenty of opportunities to improve the climate for bike commuters in Bismarck and Mandan.

Now, for the next step...

Room B in the Bismarck Public Library has been reserved for Monday, November 6th from 7-9 p.m. to allow everyone who's interested to provide input on prioritizing the action items listed in the first section.  Given that there's a long list, it will be important we focus our efforts to increase the chance of having a meaningful impact.  If you'd like to attend, but cannot due to your schedule, please send me your suggestions for prioritization via e-mail.

Best regards,

Mark Liebig
