January BAC Meeting Cancelled

[Henry]

BAC Members:

Please be advised the January 8 meeting of the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee has been cancelled. The next scheduled meeting is set for February 5, 2018.

Any inquiries from BAC members should be directed to Bill Roberts, Transportation Planning Supervisor, (wroberts@arlingtonva.us) or Shelley Peart, Transportation Planning & Capital Project Management (TPCPM) Bureau Chief (speart@arlingtonva.us).

FYI I've reached out to Shelley and Bill. I have heard nothing. I have still not heard anything about the Charter.

May I ask *who* cancelled the meeting?

[Starduster]

Sorry (NOT sorry)- I'm pissed. Has the existing committee been fired? And does he *have* that authority?

[Starduster]

From Schwartz's letter: "... eleven members are not representatives of an organization or civic association." Is being the representative of a local business (Papillon Cycles) *not* adequate? If it is not, then I'm not sure I want to be a part of *his* committee.

May I ask *who* cancelled the meeting?

I would email Shelley and Bill to ask who and why. They have not responded to me
