Volunteer-produced Complete Streets video nears finish; committee plans outreach at Main Street Festival
Summary
A nearly finished three-minute video explaining Stratford's bike lanes and rules will be shown at the Main Street Festival. Video author Michael Murphy said the draft is about 75% complete; committee members discussed adding the Town of Stratford seal, crediting drone footage and printing signage and posters for the festival.
The subcommittee spent a large portion of the meeting reviewing a draft outreach video on Stratford's Complete Streets and planning logistics for the Main Street Festival booth.
Volunteer producer Michael Murphy said the video is "in progress" and "probably about 75% done." He played a roughly three-minute segment for the committee showing how bike lanes, bike boxes and sharrows work and recommended short on-screen callouts to explain the elements.
Committee members praised the footage and asked that the town seal and a phrase such as "in partnership with Town of Stratford" be added for clarity about sponsorship and credit. Committee members also asked Murphy to include credit lines for drone footage and to check permissions for using an existing town drone clip.
The subcommittee agreed to show the video at the Main Street Festival and use looping footage at the booth. Logistics discussed included tent and electricity availability, a laptop or small monitor for playback, a-frame or easel stands, printed posters (18x24) and handouts with the day's ride map and a registration/waiver sheet. Tom Dillon said he would cover the cost of an enlarged printed poster from his market funds.
Assigned tasks and commitments from the meeting included: Murphy to share the draft video with staff and the subcommittee for review; staff to send official town logos and language to include the town seal and partnership credit; Murphy to provide drone footage details and credit lines; and committee volunteers to staff the festival booth on the day of the event.
No formal votes were taken; the group coordinated outreach materials, crediting and printing responsibilities and staffing for the festival.
