Meeting Minutes 3/19/14

1. Bike racks updates (mapping project and excel spreadsheet of new locations)

  • 12 new bike racks have been purchased and will be deployed around campus in April. Funding between facilities and student senate is being determined.

2. Bike rooms

  • Potential indoor bike rooms have been identified and prioritized.  BAC agreed that further action should be taken on creating bike rooms. Ken is digging deeper on feasibility/next steps for priority rooms.

3. Bike fix-it stations – location and priority ranking was approved by BAC.

  • 1 pump: The HUB – a central location for all students, faculty, and staff
  • 2 pumps: One on Morgan Field and one in the Quads (this one could also be the workstation that has a pump with it) – this would spread out the location of the pumps more evenly
  • 3 pumps: Morgan Field, the HUB, and the Quads (this one could also be the work station with a pump)

*If fix-it stands are purchased, handlebar volunteers could host how to use the                        stand days to familiarize the campus with them.

4. Bike to Farm potluck planning

  • Sunday, April 27th 11:45 am – 3 pm.
