Re: [Bikeboard] WVU Cycling Race

Two special event permits were requested for cycling events on July 25 and November 14. Sincerely, Jeff Mikorski ICMA-CM City Manager City of Morgantown, West Virginia 304-284-7405 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Melissa Burch" <mburch(a)boparc.org> To: "Jennifer" <jselin(a)hotmail.com> Cc: "Board - Morgantown Bike" <bikeboard(a)bikemorgantown.com>, "Mikorski' 'Jeff" <jmikorski(a)cityofmorgantown.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 7:00:23 AM Subject: Re: WVU Cycling Race I think they may need to start out with the City's special events permit since they are talking about road closures, etc. Jeff could probably speak better to that but I know that we often refer people to that permit process when they are planning large events that would impact the City's functions, and/or impede traffic flow.

A team mate of mine got your contact info in hopes that we would be able to put on a race in the city of Morgantown. We were hoping to be able to do the race on the 12th of April in the Wharf area. Obviously we are just in the early planning phases of this, and I was wondering how possible you think that this would be or if you had any insight as to how the city of Morgantown would like to go about planning this.

For those who were not able to make the event, there is still an opportunity to share your opinions: Please see the attached files. They are: 1) a diagram showing identified problems and evaluation criteria and maps showing proposed improvements on Greenbag Rd, 2) an electronic comment sheet. You are welcomed to review the proposed projects, write your comments on the electronic comment sheet, and send the comment sheet back to me via email. Thanks again!

Hi Jenny, I read the amendments on pages 56-58 at http://www.morgantownwv.gov/wp-content/uploads/2-3-15-Reg.-Mtg..pdf and they are congruent with the Bicycle Board's recommendations.
