<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Gleason said that Councilor Ehrman had proposed the idea to encourage use <br />of alternative modes of transportation. It was hoped the event would be held <br />annually, and an awards ceremony, events, and displays were planned during the <br />week. Ms. Ehrman invited challenges and contests among City Councilors and <br />departments. She said commuter breaks were planned, along with information <br />kiosks around the community. She also said about 15 businesses, including the <br />University and Sacred Heart Hospital, were assisting with the event. <br />Ms. Ehrman said similar events had been successful in other communities, and <br />she invited participation. <br /> <br />Ms. Ehrman noted that increasing use of alternative modes could help the <br />actual usage rates meet the high alternative goals cited by Mr. Hansen. <br /> <br />Ms. Schue said she thought the week was a great idea, and she invited other <br />councilors to join in using alternative modes. Mayor Obie noted that a noon <br />meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, and he suggested that councilors be pre- <br />pared to report on how they got there. <br /> <br />Ms. Bascom suggested that the council issue challenges to the Planning Commis- <br />sion and the Downtown Commission, and she offered to work on that. <br /> <br />Mr. Holmer said he thought Alternative Transportation Week was an interesting <br />idea creatively addressed by staff, but he added that he did not think it was <br />an appropriate function for the City. <br /> <br />VI.
