Jim is the transportation planner from Boulder who has worked with Winslow Tomorrow, the ferry terminal gateway design process for the City, and the SR 305 planning process.

I exchanged an email with him about what sort of group he hoped to see. He would like to show and get feedback on some possible designs for bicycle circulation and connectivity in and out of the terminal area being developed with Van Meter, Williams, Pollack. He says he mainly would like to caucus with people who are active and informed in the bicycling circle as an advance check-in. He’d appreciate advice and reaction to emerging plans. He noted that mainly we are trying to make sure local bicyclists - people who actually bicycle in Winslow - think these draft bike connections will work and meet the full range of bicyclists’ needs.

Jim will be back at a later point to share with a larger audience the possible designs which this gatering helps reality test.

There was really only this one time when he was free and a room was available. He made a point of asking for such a preliminary consultation, despite having to take an early evening plane.

Kelly Jahraus, Administrative Secretary for the COBI Winslow Tomorrow Project has arranged this gathering, and would appreciate being contacted by folks who plan to attend. She’s at 780-3718, and kjahraus@ci.bainbridge-isl.wa.us

A hardy group of volunteers completed more than half of the work putting in native plants purchased by the City on recommendation by the COBI Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Committee. This restoration of our “green infrastructure” will not only improve the environment and aesthetics which Islanders value, but also help us all drive closer to the posted speed.
