Q1- A few locations have been suggested by the Bike/Ped Steering Committee. Shelly is reviewing the CHANGE tool to see if any of the businesses evaluated in 2015 need/want racks at their facilities. Shelly is also working with Activate Allen County/Worksite Wellness Collaborative to see if any of the businesses participating in the Activated Business Challenge could benefit from a bike rack to increase their wellness score and improve opportunities for employees to actively commute to work.Q2- Shelly has reached out to a couple businesses from the CHANGE tool, but they have declined. She did have two organizations in the community request a bike rack – Allen County Metropolitan

planning needs to take place, but the goal is to hold an experiential ride in the mid-late summer following a Professional Development Ride being held in Lima on June 19. Ride Buddy programs can be promoted and offered as part of the bike rack program offered by CHC, as well as to other businesses who have employees interested in biking to work and needing assistance with route planning.

*Shelly has applied for Active Transportation funding from ODOT to host a law enforcement bike training program in late summer and through the next two years. Funding announcements are supposed to be made in May.Q2- CHC and the Bike/Ped Task Force promoted the Professional Development Ride to members of the community. The ride had a full roster which included Derrick Schierloh with ODOT, Kirk Niemeyer with the City of Lima, Ted Baker with Cranker’s Cycling, and Ginny and Larry Cress with the Wheelhouse Ministry.Shelly has also aligned both organizations that applied for bike racks with the Wheelhouse Program. This program provides bikes to those in need of alternative transportation. Clients have to be referred by social service agencies to be considered a recipient. Shelly arranged for

36



the Wheelhouse Program and Met Housing to meet. She met with them in June. The case workers will be provided information on how to refer clients to the Wheelhouse when they have a client in need of a bike for transportation. New Life Church is also interested and a meeting is being planned for next quarter.Experiential rides will be conducted with the church next quarter. Met Housing expressed interest as well so arrangements will be made with them next quarter.

The Active Transportation funding application was approved, so planning associated with that funding will begin next quarter as well.

The Move Safe committee did not meet this quarter, but they have posted bike educational material on social media. Bike and Pedestrian counts took place this quarter as well, so media coverage took place with that as well.Q3- Experiential Rides have not been organized. (Refer to notes above)Educational materials have been provided to New Life and will be provided to Met Housing next quarter to distribute to the church members and clients of Met Housing.

37



We have not received permission to proceed with programming for the Active Transportation funded project. Planning and meetings will take place next quarter. A community education component will be included in programming.

The MoveSafe committee met in July. The focus of discussion was on media and how to get our messages out. Suggestions included doing Facebook Live before an event, improving our social media presence, using appropriate language with project focuses, getting educational brochures developed and out to the public and making use of outlets in the community to get our messages out (i.e., free space on transit buses).Q4-

Distribution plan,

Q1- The excess produce last year was distributed throughout the neighborhood. Residents participating in the garden would walk around the neighborhood and provide produce to those who wanted it. When meeting with the garden committee, distribution was discussed and the possibility of distributing to food pantries, churches, and other community organizations was suggested. It may be a

procedure possibility to participate in the Farmer’s Market as well. Several residents in the neighborhood have their own gardens, so there may be more excess produce this year to provide to the community.Shelly updates the Food Policy Council on progress with projects and provides information to the neighborhood association as it applies to their needs.Several types of tracking tools were shared. A distribution plan will be decided on next quarter.Q2- The City View Terrace garden is officially a LACNIP Community Garden, so they are able to sell their produce at the Farmer’s Market at the LACNIP “booth.” They have already provided the produce that doesn’t sell to a couple service agencies (Restoration House, Rescue Mission), but would like to develop a rotating schedule of other agencies to make sure a broader reach to those in need is achieved. They need assistance in contacting service agencies to develop a distribution plan. Shelly networked with different agencies through Healthy People 2020 and other groups to get a list of contacts to provide to the garden committee. A plan will be developed once agencies are contacted and a schedule is arranged.Q3- A formal distribution plan has not

50



been developed, but they continued to donate items that were not distributed in the neighborhood or sold at the Farmer’s Market. They were able to donate to several community service agencies on a routine basis – Restoration House, Lima Rescue Mission, Our Daily Bread, and Family Promise.
