boards
Thanks Mark,
Here are the questions:
1. What are the highest level/biggest picture issues or areas-of-focus for your Commission in the
coming 10 years that you would like the Transportation Commission to be aware of?
2. Are any of those issues impacted by, or do they have an impact on, transportation in Edina, and
if so, which ones?
3. As a commission member and as a resident of Edina, what are your biggest concerns about
transportation, whether motorized or “active” (biking/walking), private or public in our city?
4. Are there ways you would like our commissions to work together in the coming years, and are
there specific goals you have for which you would like ETC involved?
Also, Mark, I noticed that the state of New Jersey passed a drivers’ ed bill to now include Bike Safety in
Drivers Ed curriculum! Since we just talked about this with Antonio, I’d love to hear from Nick Mason
about how we might engage with him to push this in Minnesota. Would you mind sending this out to
the rest of the commission? Thanks so much! http://bikeleague.org/content/new-jersey-passes-
