Re Portobello Rd
Frustrating that little has happened with this over a long time.
A very good test: Would this make it safe for a 10yo to ride to school?
A subcommittee for Albany St / University?
Including Leith Street as a quiet street.
Suggested by @david who would chair it.
Also @frstep, and maybe more.
2-3 month intensive focus on this.
Communicate and build trust with all the key stakeholders.
Approved by the committee / endorsed by SPOKES Dunedin
Of note, BUGS / DCC / McKnight meetings with planning department started off with Albany Street 2 years ago
Business case rigidity can be an ongoing problem.
@heike has had a recent discussion with Ray O’Brien (sustainability at Uni) over
Cycle Mapping in Dunedin
Perhaps we could invite the DCC ask us to fix the OpenMaps cycling info (and thus Google Maps, etc)?
Phil is making a cycling map of Dunedin as a volunteer effort.
Finance
Income is stable.
CAN have transferred the funds to us (approx $4000).
Balance is approx $11000.
Proposal - term deposit or saver account.
Engaging with councillors
The questions.
Is all in the wiki now: spokes.nz/t/questions-for-candidates/843
Could do with being condensed down to 5-7 questions, or maybe 3.
@JohnJohn volunteers to co-ordinate this.
Maybe self-recorded videos, maybe a text response.
Suggestion by @david
Sponsor / subsidise e-bike rental via a 3rd party at quiet times.
Suggestion by @JohnJohn
We need a clear mission and strategy that we publicise and stick to.
Relationships with bike shops
This is something that would be very helpful.
Really needs an individual who takes this on as a responsibility
