The 545 isn't being considered for rerouting at time, to clarify, but might be down the road.

That means $1.3M left over. For those keeping track, no funds will pay for any bike projects.

Now discussing the delay of bike projects. Brie says 20% of people on Pike Pine in the AM are on bikes and they are most in need of protection during the construction of the convention center.

Goran Sparrman defends delay for 4th Ave PBL as necessary to maintain our bus system. Says SDOT is moving forward with Pike Pine as soon as possible as a result.

Now we're going to spend some time talking about bike share parking problems. Scroll around in your timeline right now because that's what I'm doing.

Of course, no one could identify any actual issues around mobility & looked at the floor when we were discussing that topic a half hour ago but now it's a Very Important Problem.

Now talking about how Key Arena isn't included here. The answer here is of course: there's a whole *different* mobility action plan for that. Probably having another secret meeting now too.

My phone is going to die so I'm going to tweet the big reveal now. One Center City is now Imagine Downtown.
Look for any big takeaways from the last half hour of the meeting later. Sorry.

Okay, I'm back. The meeting ended predictably. The "long range plan" gets another whole framework of meetings ending next year some time. Brie: "Very ambitious!"

There was a question about the streetcar & Goran said there will be news within 2-4 weeks, mentioned plan being formulated for what to do if there's no money for streetcar.

I felt obligated to speak during public comment so I reminded everyone that vision zero is something we've committed to. Won't happen unless we reprioritize who we are moving.

Oh, one more thing: SDOT is apparently committing to a tangible goal of 1,200 fewer peak hour SOV trips in downtown this year and an additional 3,000 in 2019, via STBD investments, the controversial contracted transit pilot, and improved 1st/last mile bike and ped improvements.

Not clear exactly how those last mile connections will be improved. It also includes a new push to encourage telecommuting.
