Glen Gray, representing the State Bikeways Commission, talked to
the task force about the Lake Oswego Bikeway plan and related
nearby bike routes. He reviewed existing and proposed bikeways
in the city area, including the George Rogers Park bridge, and
suggested that a good system would pro"uvide one alternative to
motorized transportation. He recommended that there should be
a permanent bikeways advisory committee formed to keep City Hall
aware of what should be done in this area. Gray also showed the
Task Force a plaint for a bike/pedestrian overpass over Kruse Clay,
which he is proposing to submit for a Bikeways Demonstration
Grant, which would mean 80e federal funding. He asked for the
Task Force 's opinion of the plan. Marcie Kirschbaum was delegated
to bring back a recommendation on the matter for action at the
next meeting.

the Lake Oswego Planning Commission on Circulation Plan and Road
Standards. They rant the task forces--particulary those on
Transportation, Growth, and Commercial, to be involved in X#
the planning process,
and -.rill urge that the Manning Commission wait for the,, task
force input before any policy decisions are made. They ;'also
plan to keep us informed of any information relevant to our areas
that comes up in lfiQ& Planning Commission meetings.
The materials included in the preliminary reports from all the task
forces was reviewed, along with the covering memorandum from the
Planning Commission. The one for transportation that John compiled
from the sub-committee reports at last creek 's meeting was eval-
uated. It was felt that in refining it we should strive for more
facts and specifics to give our recommendations validity. For
example, we should obtain verifiable data in order to support
recommendwU—Icns solutions to specific street and circulation
problems.

met to work on their areas of concern.
