1. Calgary Primary Transit Network Plan
We discussed this plan, created by TransitCamp member Peter Schryvers. The group would like to get feedback on this plan from other Calgarians, Calgary Transit staff and City Council members. The goal is to inspire Calgary Transit to create a similar (and clear) long-term transit plan for Calgary.
2. Transit Commissioner
Alderman Diane Colley-Urquhart will bring a Notice of Motion to City Council on November 7, 2011. It proposes the creation of a Transit Commissioner for Calgary (much like they have in Toronto). TransitCamp urges its members to contact City Council with your feedback. We will be drafting a response to the Notice of Motion from TransitCamp by October 27, 2011. The general feeling from TransitCamp members is that Calgary Transit’s governance needs reform; however, a more thorough review of other cities is required before a decision is made.
3. TransitCamp Event
TransitCamp is holding a CivicCamp-style citizen engagement event with a focus on transit in early 2012. We are looking for an engaging speaker to discuss transit issues.
4. Complete Mobility Conference
A TransitCamp member reported on the Complete Mobility conference organized by the Van Horne Institute. Another meeting is scheduled for November.
The next TransitCamp meeting is scheduled for Thursday November 10, 2011.
