Meeting is open to all. This is a joint meeting of two MBPAC subcommittees, Legislative and Government Affairs and Commuting and Transportation. The purpose is to go through the legislative issues once again for the purpose of addressing concerns and making tentative recommendations.
[After the fold; is MBPAC complying with the Open Meetings Act?]
Per: Changes for Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (MBPAC) <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20090422200609237">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20090422200609237</a>;
* We will add notices of MBPAC subcommittee meetings to our listing of committee meetings on the MBPAC section of the Maryland Department of Transportation website. In addition we will attempt to post notice of subcommittee meetings in the Maryland Register if sufficient time permits such posting.
* Minutes of subcommittee minutes will be taken and posted on MDOT's website.

This notice should have come from them but at lest I got wind of it and posted the details here.
FWIW the MBPAC website: <a href="http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/Planning/Bicycle/MBPAC.html">http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/Planning/Bicycle/MBPAC.html</a>;
And note the minutes end June 2010. They had a few meetings since then.
Previous complaint: The lack of public access to Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20090226095426660">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20090226095426660</a>;
Micheal Jackson has been notified and I am reasonably certain he will correct the errors but in case he does not there is a public record of this issue.

Update: MBPAC home page has changed to: <a href="http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/Planning/Bicycle/MBPAC_2.html">http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/Planning/Bicycle/MBPAC_2.html</a>;
(Note the trailing "_2") Google still points to the old page as it's still active on the site. So the minutes issue is more or less resolved.
