Curb Your Car Coalition

A Community Conversation on Transportation in Tompkins County, NY

Meeting Minutes, November 15, 3:30 p.m., Old Jail House

    Attendance: Lois Chaplin, Jennifer Dotson, Nicole Tedesco, Kent Johnson, Tania Schuler, Yael Levitte, Chris Brouwer

- Went over proposed meeting dates - seemed OK ... Dec. 15, Jan. 10

- Debriefed on Family Reading Partnership: Great event; super attendance (2000+ people??); kids loved the books

- Safe Routes to School - Follow up with Ms. Moresco (sp?); possibly form a subgroup to track this issue; what legal obstacles may be involved?

- Newsletter - everyone was wildly enthusiastic about the newly released newsletter; conversation about how to disseminate the newsletter

- Those in attendance respectfully observed a moment of silence to mourn the passing (assisted passing) of the faux TCAT bus.

- There was some discussion about how best to advertise the Transportation Teas - was this issue resolved??

- TCAT - Should the CYCC attend to issues relating to TCAT bus service? i.e. advocate for higher capacity bike racks on the buses; bike racks and shelters, etc. at bus stops; other issues?? This issue is still outstanding.

- CYCC should follow up with the proposals for the revised City of Ithaca snow-on-sidewalk clearing and citation protocols. Perhaps CYCC and BPAC should work jointly on this follow-up.

- Ideas for future events: Biking with the Mayor; Wheelchair Stroll (although, Wheelchair Cruise may be better as "stroll" denotes walking)

Reminders:

1st Transportation Tea on 11/21 5-7pm at Autumn Leaves Used Books - Theme "Car-free Shopping"

Next CYCC meeting ... Dec. 15 3:30-5:00pm at the Old Jail, 125 Court St.
