Approval of Minutes from November 14, 2018. 2. Pedestrian Master Plan: Neil M. lead a discussion on progress of plans for holding a "stake -holders" meeting on January 16, 2019. It was decided to hold the meeting at 5:30 PM in the city council chambers if they are available. Member Ken Jones (not present) provided a possible letter to invite stake -holders to the meeting. After discussion the letter was amended with a couple of further sentences to inform the invitees as to the "goals" other communities had included in plans and to ask invitees to attend with any ideas they might wish included in a plan. Neil M. volunteered to refine the letter with amendments along with an updated list of invited stake -holders contact information by December 14 in order for Joseph C. to begin invitation process. Brett S. will check on the date that council will be reviewing Transportation Benefit District for possible inclusion of funding for a Pedestrian Master Plan. A sign in sheet will be created for the meeting to gather contact information of attendees. 3. Public Service Announcement (PSA) prosect: Sean D. played audio of several PSA's developed by the YV-Tech Media Production class. He (Sean D.) will make all of the samples available to members. He will pick out 4-5 examples representing varying scenarios that relate to common contributors to vehicle collisions. Sean D. also noted that several of the audio scenes could be converted into video presentations. A suggestion was made to have the city council invite the class from YV-Tech attend a council meeting and be acknowledged. 4. Cowiche Canyon Trail update: Neil M. updated the committee on the progress of the lower Cowiche Canyon Trail project. The project is well underway with planning and funding becoming available in early summer 2019 to connect the existing eastern trail head with an extension to Power House Road near the Painted Rocks. Neil M. also relayed news that the trail may also be connected to the Yakima Greenway via a right -away owned by the city along Washington State Hi -way 12 ending at 40th Ave and Fruitvale Bld. 5. Meeting Adsourned at 11:30 Am. January 11, 2019 Organization Organization Address Organization Address Dear Community Leader (or use name?), The City of Yakima's Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee is starting the planning process that we hope will lead to the creation and adoption of a Pedestrian Master Plan for our community. This Pedestrian Master Plan would complement the already adopted Transportation Master Plan and the Bicycle Master Plan. You and/or your organization is one that we feel may wish to have input regarding the scope of this Pedestrian Master Plan. This letter is your invitation to a preliminary meeting to begin this process. We have scheduled this meeting for ???? January ??, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. in the City of Yakima's Council Chambers. Other communities have included some of the following item/goals in their Pedestrian Master Plans: 1. Safety, 2. Project Equity within the City, 3. Promote Healthy Lifestyles, 4. Promote Economic Sustainability, 5. Connectivity of Pedestrian Facilities, 6. Integration with Multi -Modal Transportation, and 7. Effective Land Use and Site Design. Without reinventing the wheel, we want to make sure that Yakima's plan reflects our community. Your participation and input would be invaluable in helping us achieve that goal. We hope to weave all of our ideas for a pedestrian friendly environment into an effective planning document for our community. Please consider bringing your passion for our community to this meeting. With any questions please contact us through email at brett.sheffield(&vakimawa.�zov. An RSVP would be very helpful but not required. We hope to see you on January ??.
