D. Norman Bike Skills Park status: next public meeting (Briggs) Public meeting not scheduled yet / goal is to have it in Sept and to send messages about meeting through Norman Schools E. East 24th Street MUP path potential (Lombardo) Concern raised about speed limit  Hwy 9 to Lindsey on E24th is 45 mph, speed decreases to 40 mph and 30 mph for northern sections (slower at Reagan Elementary) Multiuse path may be the best method for cycling given the speed limit, but possibly also pulling the speed limit to 40 mph would also be helpful for safety. F.
