Leonhard Recreation Center (2307 Sangamon Dr, Champaign, IL 61821. Phone: (217) 398-2550) was added as the Shield pick-up location. Stacey DeLorenzo dropped off 100 Shields at the location to be picked up by bicycle users. This location will be available for Shield pick up from August 24, 2020.

Campus Bike Center (51 E Gregory Dr., Champaign, IL 61820. Phone number: 217-300-4638) was added as the Shield pick-up location. Sarthak Prasad dropped off 250 Shields at the location to be picked up by bicycle users. This location will be available for Shield pick up from August 24, 2020. Due to the pandemic, the CBC will only accept visitors who make an appointment beforehand, so please call in ahead to more information. The Shields will be distributed at the front desk of the CBC's new location.

We will replensih the Shields as needed.

During this meeting, it was decided that we will be moving forward with the mass install of silicone strap lights. MTD will purchase these lights, since the cost is same as last year. We can get 1250 light sets for $6000.

As discussed in the last meeting, TBP will not participate in this event.

UIUC, MTD, Urbana, and Champaign confirmed that they will be providing funds for this year's Light the Night - $1500 each.

City of Urbana and City of Champaign will not participate in organzing, planning, or participation in a mass install event. So, they will not be involved in any of the future meetings. If for some reason, the mass distribution event does not take place, Urbana and Champaign will work on the Plan B.

MTD, CCRPC, and Chanpaign County Bikes confirmed that they will participate in the event. MTD will work on a Safety Plan that will be presented to the CU-Public Health District and the Executive Steering Committee at the University of Illinois for approval. There will also be a Warning and Waiver form that all volunteers must agree to.

Next meeting will be scheduled next week.

The first 529 Shield was handed out to a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on August 3, 2020!

Description:

Bicycle registration is primarily a method to assist with returning stolen or lost bikes when they are recovered by Public Safety or Facilities & Services.  Bicycle registration is offered for free to faculty, staff, and students at the University of Illinois, and can conveniently be completed online at http://go.illinois.edu/mybike.

In September 2013, the University will be adopting new stickers for bicycle registration, and all registered bike owners will be contacted with instructions on how to receive their new sticker. 

To register your bicycle, visit http://go.illinois.edu/mybike

Background:

The benefits of registering your bicycle include:

• It deters theft
• It helps the UIPD reconnect bicycle owners with their lost or stolen bikes
• You can be contacted if your bicycle is impounded or mistaken for abandoned
• It helps the University to better plan for bicycles and bicycle infrastructure
• It allows the University to communicate with bicyclists for important bicycle-related announcements

University of Illinois organized a meeting for all participating units - F&S, CBC, Urbana, Champaign, MTD, CCRPC, TBP, and CCB. Please see attached the notes from our meeting.

Here is the initial rough estimate for the Armory Avenue bike path for the section by Gregory Hall:

• Remove tree roots and bushes  $4,000
• Remove Erns and remove bases  $8,000
• remove walks and new dirt  $6,000
• replace concrete  $32,000
• $50,000 total

The cost of landscaping is not included in this estimate. We will be using the SSC funds available + the bike fee money for this bike path section.
