Fwd: Fwd: Re: New location opening date?
by Derek Springston 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

All BB Members, *Can someone please take the lead on organizing the Black Bear photo for the Sarris contest?* I just need to move that off of my plate at least until after Wednesday. I would still be be open to actually taking the photo or bringing some props perhaps on Thursday or Friday, but I just don't have time until then. Jason from Black Bear requested that we *contact Mr. Sellaro* who owns/leases the property by asking: Can somebody from your board contact Jim Sellaro for permission? I will contact Jim and let him know to expect a call. He runs Sellaro Overhead Door service in Star City. Also, Damien Davis asked yesterday: Are you taking the lead on getting the photo taken at Black Bear? If so, will you *contact Aaron Stout* (412-287-1512). He is going to be managing the new location and is willing to help. He is working till 4:30, 5:00pm. Please call him after this time. Please let me know if you're acting on this to help us out! Thanks, ~Derek ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <blackbearburrito(a)comcast.net> Date: Fri, May 18, 2012 at 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [Bikeboard] Fwd: Re: New location opening date? To: Derek Springston <dspringston(a)gmail.com> Derek, Do Iwe understand correctly that you are trying to enter a contest to win a free bike "rack" for our new location? If so, we need the permission of the property owners before we do anything. While Matt and I would love to have bike parking over there getting permission from the group of owners may find opposition (we speak from experience thus far). We are waiting on permission on several other requests made to the Sellaro family and don't wish to personally poke the hornet's nest further. Can somebody from your board contact Jim Sellaro for permission? I will contact Jim and let him know to expect a call. He runs Sellaro Overhead Door service in Star City. With permission granted, you may take photos when you wish but we do know that contractors are in and out all weekend and therefore trucks and equipment abound. Please keep us posted.

Jason, After discussing with a few folks on the Bike Board, we still have alot of interest to enter the Saris Corral contest. Assuming we have your blessing, could we still take a photo for this location, try to make it look appealing for the photo using cyclists and maybe props, and submit it for the contest? If so, what day and time can we do so? We have to submit by the 25th, so I propose that we do it this weekend or early next week.

Fwd: Updated Project LRTP Project List
by Frank Gmeindl 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

In the attached version of the list of LRTP projects the Technical Advisory Group's scoring has been added, the projects have been re-prioritzed (from the list I sent you Nov. 13), and some projects have changed. Overall, bicycling is doing very well but this could change in response to public comments at the Dec. 5, 5-8 pm meeting at the Public Safety Center Training Room. As I said in my Nov. 16 report of the TAG meeting, "Because of the small number of cyclists in Morgantown, it is imperative that we be represented at this meeting. This may also give us the opportunity to elevate attention to smaller, less expensive, near term projects."

Fwd: Draft MPO Long Range Transportation Plan for November 15th Meeting
by Frank Gmeindl 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Bicycle Board Members, We've been working on a Morgantown-Monongalia Long Range Transportation Plan for more than a year and we're one step away from releasing it to the public for comment. Please review the attached draft and give me any comments you wish me to take to the Transportation Advisory Group Nov. 15. The draft LRTP is pretty large. One way you might review it is to search for "bicycle" and look carefully at the maps.
