SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS:

Urban/Rural Cycle Facilities:

1.       Taupo Moana Rotary Club has funded $5,000 towards upgrade and construction of the track from Sewerage plant to Taupo Bungy.  Forest Managers will contribute a further $500 and Groundeffect Clothing $1,000.  The committee acknowledges these funds and is greatly appreciative of receiving them.  Pete Masters will head the team.  Mike will contact John to arrange for an invoice to be sent to Rotary.

2.       All agreed that we have to tie down Transit to the State Highway One safe crossing.  Its seems that things are too slow and Lisa will contact Jess yet again on this one.

3.       Road safety push in town  - pamphlets are ready to go warning motorists against parking in cycle lanes.  We will look at redoing the news release as it was not put in the paper in its entirety.

4.       Cycle Safety Review is coming up.  Lisa has mentioned to Jess that we would like to be on the review panel.

5.       Need to find out the dates for resealing/repainting of Spa Road.  Bob Hopkins mentioned extending the yellow lines.

6.       Road side signage is now down and in storage.

7.       Still keen to do some kind of cartoon.  We will put out a note to all Taupo members - to search for a keen illustrator.
