Warehouse Meeting 3-12-10

After meeting with the other disciplines it was clear that there were some major overlaps in what type of information was being pursued for our study. Individually we were looking at Bus Stops, the Mobile Market, Schools, and Grain Silos at the Regional Market. After our discussions here is a quick list of some of the things that were linked and a description of what some of the thoughts were.

Bus Routes:

- Redirecting or extending routes to include the regional market

- Creation of small markets at popular stops

- Addressing issues of time it takes to travel via bus due to long intervals between trips

- Need to create a more effective mapping/scheduling system to educate people on routes

Mobile Market / Learning Kitchen:
- Integrate with local markets and cooking demonstration

- Expand market beyond the 2 points it is now

- Provide samples of food to people

- Helps educate about what is available at the mobile market

- Better advertisement is needed

Regional Market:

- A larger variety of entertainment available (though a version of this is being done at the new Paradise Market found on Erie Blvd.)

- Incorporation of gardens, learning, and grain silos into new structures on site

- Improvement of parking and bus stop availability

- Better advertisement is needed

The people who were a part of this group were Annie, Johanna, Kim, Chris F., and Waeeny
