[EQAB-list] Human Powered sports and Team Oak Ridge

[Fred L Stephens]

EQAB board members,

I want to introduce members of the board to another group of citizens 
with a passion for creating a greener Oak Ridge via better use of our 
waterfront, greenways, roads, etc. This group, largely associated 
with rowing participants and bikers, has some nice visions and strong 
energy for helping Oak Ridge. I think we could invite a presentation 
for one of out meetings. I met with Bob Leight this morning. Steve 
Spooner, of the rowing association, introduced us.

Bob was not aware of current EQAB efforts. We have not been aware of 
their efforts.

Team Oak Ridge has many creative ideas about how to make better use 
of the waterfront and create a city that is more appealing to young 
professionals. They have fresh ideas. They have future oriented 
visions. Obviously, their is plenty of need for all of us to create 
lines of communication. Together we have synergy.

Some changes will be quite easy. They want to create less trash at 
their events. They need our help and the city's help with talking to 
the correct people.

Their blog site that tells more. Nice site with lots of Oak Ridge 
sports links. Read more about the coming first annual bike race to be 
held in Oak Ridge next month. The site does not get into a their 
development visions in details. This would be a good topic for a 
presentation. We would do well to exchange ideas with this group.
