=2024-08-19 Lynchburg Urban Network Meeting Notes=

Monthly handson project:
 - not everyone can make our meetings
 - we should be doing things

Lets get together and do a project each month. This will be a work day.

Specific day? Keep it consistent? Pick each month?
Keep it third week or make it 1st week. 
Tim: says 1St week is better
Randy: we need actionable steps for each meeting
Gioa: cleanup?
Nathan: that is part of our mission
Randy: what is the scope? Strong Towns has a wide range
Nathan: review mission statement
Gioa: we aren't "building" but rather "transforming" the city
Nathan: we need a fiscally responsible "resilient" city: no more cul-de-sacs
Randy: the city can't afford maintenance of the city how it is currently built
Nathan: we do some Strong Towns things but not others: we don't address housing policy much
Nathan: picking up trash is definitely in scope
Everyone agrees that the first Saturday would be good.
Tim recommends the bike pump for September 
Gioa: what is the bike pump?
Nathan explains about the bike pump.
Nathan then shares that GitHub Lynchburg Road Issues has a list of DIYable issues
Discussion of the trail sign at Tinbridge Trail Connector from Kemper Station Trail

Nathan on NTMP for Wadsworth St: received letter from traffic engineering; there is no documented speeding issue, Nathan disagrees; 1900cars drive on Wadsworth every day
Discussion of lowspeed vehicles and golf carts

Rename the group? Livable Lynchburg? Livable CVille guy is okay with it.
Randy suggests "Livable Lynchburg: A Strong Towns Chapter" for branding purposes
Gioa agrees
