2. Adopt the minutes from meeting on August 20, 2025


Amendment to correct last name of Stephanie to Hysmith. Motion to adopt minutes as amended from last

NEW BUSINESS
 1. Discussion on Crosswalks; Quenton brought up how there is now a crosswalk in a place where he
 requested one, across Sidney and Washington Street on the East End. Quenton invited members of
 the Green Team to think of crossings that would be most needed in Charleston and present a list of
 potential sites.
 a. Discussed need on the West Side, particularly in high pedestrian traffic areas, like in Elk City,
 and sites of the new ADA cutouts. As a point of clarification, the Planning/Streets & Traffic
 Committee has to vote on new crossing sites. The goal would be to request a meeting with
 Councilwoman Hoover to discuss the list we create of potential crossings in the city. There was
 a question regarding ordinances and meetings with the Planning/Streets & Traffic Committee. It
 took Quenton 6 months to get the crosswalk to happen. Ryan has identified the main
 thoroughfares of bike and walkable area state and city owned streets; suggested organizing a
 walking and biking audit; example from City of Milwaukee - they have a traffic safety library.
 Quenton quill start a document and Ryan and Quenton will work together to understand the
 city’s processes on this. Other discussion points included:
 i. May is bike Month, potential for police officer collaboration
 ii. Stop bars and traffic ballards
 iii. Connecting to greenways, example: Wallace-Hartman Preserve and Holz Elementary
 School in South Hills
