I would love to go!

WSMAC,
I'm taking the liberty of extending to you all an invitation to the
Portland Bike/Ped Committee to take a tour of Rock Row as it currently
stands, because we're a similar committee to them. It will be at 11 AM on
Saturday April 13. Fred Yalouris would like a head count soon of people who
are attending. If you are interested, please respond to this email and I'll
send the names to Fred this week.

Greetings everyone,
Regarding our Rock Row site visit on Saturday April 13 (11 am at the
Larrabee gate), the owners have asked for a list of those attending.
Could you please confirm to me that you are coming, and send me the names
of all others who are also planning to come? Late deciders can also be
accommodated.
Many thanks,
Fred Yalouris

Fred - Thanks for setting this up. Last night at our meeting we had 4
volunteers to join in the walk - All are aware that it is an active
construction site. I've added them to this message. Looking forward to
joining you April 13th at 11am!

We've only heard from Damon so far regarding a site visit on the 13th.
Are others interested?

I'm able to go at that time - How many people from the Portland Bike /
Ped committee would ideally attend?

Let's try Saturday, April 13. I suggest we plan to meet at the site
around 11 am at the Larrabee gate. Would that work?
Please let me know who is planning to attend, as this is an active
construction site, and Waterstone needs to know who is coming.
If some of you are unable to make that time, just let me know, and
we'll try to put together another session. I know that Ed and Kara are
discussing holding another gathering, so that will also be another
opportunity.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
Fred Yalouris

The 13th may or may not work for me, but that's okay. The 20th
wouldn't work either, as I imagine I'll also be heavily involved in the
same Earth Day event Damon mentioned.

I'd suggest 4/13 - The 20th is Earth Day and there will likely be
more conflicts that day (I have to help staff a 5k race, the Urban
Runoff).

John, Damon, Phil, et al,
As some of you have asked for a weekend date in April, I am
suggesting two two Saturdays in April as possibilities for a site
visit and
discussion: April 13 and April 20.
Let me know if either of these dates work for you all. We are
open to other dates, if these two options don't work. Also, if some
of you
cannot make the date that is decided on, other arrangements can be
made.
Let me know your preferences and we will work on a meeting time
and location.
Many thanks,
Fred Yalouris

Hi, Fred,
Thanks for the reply. I agree that a date in April will be
fine.
As to the second week in March, I will be out of the country
from the 9th to the 19th, but don't let that stop you from meeting
with the
others during that time. I am adding my WSMAC co-chair LeeLee Prince
to
this message, in case she would like to meet, or get the word out to
others
on our committee.

Hello John,
Thank you for making contact. Shall we all start looking at a
possible weekend date in mid to late April?
And yes, Portland Trails has been a partner in this from the
beginning. And Phil Spiller has been deeply involved!
I shall be making a few trips to Portland/Westbrook in the
second week of March. Might there be a chance to meet some of you
and
discuss tour & presentation details?
Many thanks,
Fred

I should have included that he also mentioned rail with trail
along the corridor. I'm assuming and hoping that Portland Trails
must also
be part of this discussion.

Thanks for initiating this, Maya, Nick, and Damon! WSMAC is
definitely in! I'll share this with them.
On a related note, regarding our train discussion yesterday, a
member of our Westbrook Rec & Conservation Board, Phil Spiller
Jr.,
confirmed to me that the train discussion is definitely
progressing, and
he's been involved in it and many other Rock Row discussions.
He's also
Westbrook's rep on the Visit Portland
<https://www.visitportland.com/> board of directors. He's
kind of a civic super-advocate. His father was a Westbrook mayor
many years
ago.

Hi Fred, Thanks for reaching out. I'm sure our bike / ped
Committee would enjoy a presentation of your plans and
(especially) a site
tour. I would highly encourage you to bring in Westbrook's Bike
/ Ped
group, WSMAC (contact person John Brooking copied here). I would
suggest
this be scheduled no sooner than April to allow for snow melt and
accessibility on site. Our committee is all volunteer, so I'd
strongly
suggest a time on a weekend, or a weekday evening when the days
are longer.
Thanks,
Damon

Good morning Maya, Nick, and Damon,
Josh Levy has forwarded to me your request for a tour of
Rock Row and a review of our plans for bike/ped connectivity,
which are
considerable. Josh has asked me to coordinate this, and I will
be most
pleased to do so. I suggest we begin with some email exchanges
and phone
conversations to discuss tour objectives, possible dates,
number of
participants, and format for information exchanges. If any of
you would
like to call or email me, we can get the conversation started.
Looking forward to meeting you all,
Fred Yalouris
