MINUTES of CentreBike General Meeting
August 10, 2015
Meeting held at the State College Borough Building
Present:
The meeting was called to order by Anna Nelson at 5:30 pm.
Encourage Bicycle Friendly Businesses
The Appalachian Outdoor House will be submitting an application for BFB designation in October. They have accepted CentreBike’s offer of $100 gift certificate to be used for purchase of bike tools for use by their employees to meet one of the BFB criteria.
Centre Inspires Grant Proposal
CentreBike was chosen as one of 5 finalists for the $100k Centre Foundation grant. The proposal is for a series of Open Streets events next summer to be planned by CentreBike along with several community partners. Mt Nittany Medical Center has agreed to be a major partner and the YMCA has also expressed interest. Jamie Bestwick is willing to be on the Steering Committee. Anna has been contacted by various media for interviews since the announcement.
Fall Events
A CentreBike response to the Warner Road PennDOT plan was discussed to endorse a bike/pedestrian path in addition to a wide road shoulder.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, it adjourned at 6:30 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Joan Potter, Secretary
