    The Idaho Workforce Development Council held a full-day meeting on April 5, 2018, in Meridian, where Vice Chair B.J. Swanson led discussions on Idaho's urban-rural labor market divide. A presentation highlighted that urban Idaho is experiencing economic growth while rural Idaho faces demographic challenges and a "tipping point," with rural workers dealing with counterintuitively high costs of living despite lower wages. Council members discussed workforce migration patterns, commuting trends, and the difficulty rural areas face in retaining younger workers, particularly millennials, due to economic pressures.

    The Portland PedPDX Community Advisory Committee held a meeting on February 28, 2018, to review a draft pedestrian safety existing conditions presentation prepared by Nelson Nygaard. The committee discussed data limitations and gaps in the analysis, including challenges obtaining block-level demographic data, limited pedestrian counting technologies, and incomplete information on signalized versus unsignalized crossings and vehicle speeds at crash sites. Committee members raised questions about data accuracy, bike crash correlations, impairment factors, protected left turns, and visibility/lighting, with presenters acknowledging several areas where data collection and analysis could be improved.
