Funding for employee from F&S Executive Director
Associated Project(s):This afternoon, I verified with Jack Dempsey that he is still willing to fund a 900-HR extra-help employee for the first year of the new Campus Bike Project. The employee will be paid $12.00 per hour for 900 hours, so the full cost is $10,800. - Morgan Johnston

Creation of the Campus Bicycle Shop
Associated Project(s):In spring of 2009, discussions began between the University of Illinois and The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign, regarding an on-campus bicycle shop. Fred Davidson, Joel Gillespie, and Tony Cherolis were key representatives of The Bike Project. Morgan Johnston, Steve Veazie, and Jeff Courson were key representatives of the UI. The files attached here represent some of the effort that initiated this program.
The original shop was called the Campus Bike Project.
Bike Parking Funding Agreement
Associated Project(s):The goal of this project is to fund installation of bicycle parking facilities at the Undergraduate Library, the Ag. Sciences Engineering Building and Freer Hall. Cycling is a sustainable form of transportation, highly used by the student body, and inadequately supported on campus. Thus the students sustainability committee is in favor of funding the full requested amount of $10,600.
Gregory Drive from First Street to Dorner Drive
Associated Project(s):The parking was removed from Gregory Drive, and a continuous on-street bike lane was striped in both directions, in alignment with the CATS endorsement of complete streets. The old bike path near the sidewalk had striping removed.
