How we started dating…
…began courting each other
We both cared about kids…SRTS
AND, had a love affair with bikes.
Which we had to tell people about

Misc. Question/Discussion Ideas
Partnering with non-state agencies on our work
BCBS, BikeMN, RDC’s, LPH
share resources, not duplicating efforts because of
statewide reach of both MnDOT/MDH
Challenges
Defining planning, language/expertise differences
Success when LPH working with ATP, engineers on
projects
