VI. REPORTS FROM OTHER COMMITTEES AND ORGANIZATIONS
Betsy Turner said that the Citizen Transportation Oversight Commission(CTOC)met on February 2,2010. She said
that one agenda item was the improvements on Old Roma Alley in downtown Glendale. She said that many people
showed up at the meeting because of incorrect information in the Glendale Star newspaper leading them to believe it
was a public open house. Betsy said since there was no agenda item for public input on the agenda no actions could
be taken in response to comments on the Old Roma project. Betsy also said the CTOC meeting included an overview
of the Beardsley Road Connector project,noting that there would be considerable inconvenience for Loop 101
motorists when the project begins.
VI. 2010 GLENDALE FAMILY BIKE RIDE AND GREEN FESTIVAL
Steve Hancock displayed aerial photos of the Sahauro Ranch Park soccer field depicting the layout of the bike ride
registration area and the parking lot adjacent to the soccer field. Steve pointed out the placement of barricades
blocking off the area for volunteer and ride related parking and how bike ride participant parking was to be routed.
Steve requested that Brad Meek and Norm Crowell direct traffic arriving for the ride to the Glendale Community
College parking lot. Steve then explained the need to have volunteers at Sahauro Ranch early enough to transfer
materials to the registration area from the storage bin. Steve also discussed the associated Green Festival and how the
bike ride would interact with the events in the Main Library area and near the Sahuaro Ranch Park Historical Area.
He said that Transportation Department staff would be setting up a bicycle parking area near the Fruit packing Shed
and that it would be here that bike ride participants would go to get ride t-shirts.
