Brenda and Lillie rode over from the east side of I-5. Barbara and I met and rode. Cheryl and Jonathan also rode, roundtrip of 2 miles maybe. Agueda also came by. Fun group to chat with.
I needed a portable project, found one in the embroidery drawer, got the 3 colors of floss ready and other supplies, not intending to start on it at all. A week later, I have three of them embroidered and one quilted.
Glory is quilted. Liberty is basted, has blue lines drawn, ready to be quilted. Rabbit is basted and needs the blue lines which disappear when a light mist is sprayed on.
The Personnel and Public Employees committee reviews and interviews applicants for positions on City boards, commissions and committees. In addition to that, the Active Transportation Commission had to first present their 2022 report and recommendations before it could go to the City Council. This afternoon was the meeting, 3 pm today, City Hall, agenda item #7. Jennifer Donlon-Wyant, Transportation Planning Manager began.
Ali Doerr-Westbrook, ATC Chairperson, made the presentation.
JDW (as she’s informally known) took this picture of Ali and her supporters in the audience: Isaac Gonzalez/ATC Commissioner, BarbaraL, me, Ali Doerr Westbrook/ATC Commissioner, Deb Banks/ATC Commissioner and Executive Director of SABA, Jim Houpt/ATC Commissioner.
More about BarbaraL. Bless her heart, she was the only person (out of 134 people who receive an email every Saturday with information and the ride schedule) to volunteer to attend this meeting at City Hall. She had to work at the downtown library today and I wanted to attend the SABA staff meeting in the morning, so we left at 9 am and rode to downtown. Before the P&PE meeting started, I rode to the library and was able to lock my bike in her office. Off to the meeting, then the ride back to … Chevy’s on the River. Stacey and Elaine rode over to meet us. Thank you BarbaraL for being an in-person advocate for active transportation. Guacamole freshly made for the table:
