I would not be adding racial diversity. I will share a little more about who I <br /> am and leave it to you or others to determine if that brings different/diverse viewpoints. I'm <br /> retired after 35 years in Information Technology in RTP. I've lived in Orange County since 1976 <br /> and for my working years I commuted to RTP daily, so I've seen quite a change in transportation <br /> needs and options in the county. I'm a serious recreational bicycle rider. I bike to Carrboro and <br /> Durham for errands, shopping, dining, etc., and I take longer rides into the County for recreation. <br /> So I bring a mix of experience riding in-town and out of town. Gasoline powered vehicles remain <br /> my primary mode of transportation. My professional work involved lots of project management <br /> and evaluation of vendor bids, budget development, and other aspects of moving large projects <br /> from the proposal stage to implementation. My interest in joining the group is two-fold: <br /> a.As a bike rider not located within town limits, I'm interested in improving infrastructure so that it <br /> can be enjoyed safely. <br />
