Hi folks.  I can’t stay very long and am also trying to get dinner together so I’m keeping my camera and mic off.  But if nobody minds I’ll just listen in for a bit.

Margo, HVNA Secretary

7:15:22 PM

Reminder to all to mute.

2000 EVs for 180K people.  How many cars overall are registered to those 180K people?  (That is, what is our current adoption rate for EVs?)

Wendy Scherrer

7:27:19 PM

how many EV charging stations are there  in Happy Valley? At WWU?

Nick Galati

Jennifer Tennessen

7:38:02 PM

great point Alex

climate fund shouldn’t be siloed, critical for climate fund to interface with ped and bike  plan updates

Nick Galati

7:42:00 PM

this is Bridget we really need to talk about the bike and ped updates haven't heard that yet from Seth 

Jennifer Tennessen

7:42:44 PM

Are the carbon reduction goals talking with the TRAM’s set goals for single-person occupancy trips?

Nick Galati

7:43:54 PM

Jennifer - I am very concerned that this presentation started with the statement that CAF is distinct and separate from the TIP funds. This is worrisome. 

Jennifer Tennessen

7:45:22 PM

I agree. What is the rationale for silo-ing? I had to join late - I was attending the Transportation Commission meeting

Nick Galati

7:45:51 PM

I was at transportation too. The separation of CAF and TIP is very problematic and I hope it is not intentional.

Jennifer Tennessen

7:46:20 PM

Seems to be a missed opportunity to designate these as separate from the outset

Jennifer Tennessen

7:54:44 PM

Agreed

Climate and multimodal transportation cannot be separated

Thanks for your presentation and time Seth, I need to jump to another meeting.

Nick Galati

8:29:14 PM

See you folks. Keep me posted on neighborhood activities. Thanks and good night.
