So far, Damien, Frank, Chip and myself are available -- we are all available from 5:30pm - 8:00pm. I'll suggest that we meet from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Locations: the training room at the public safety building is available at that time, and of course we could always meet at Black Bear. Does anyone have a preference? For anyone coming to the meeting, if you get a chance -- please review the 2012 application and comments from LAB that Frank distributed through an email on September 4th, 2015.

Some pics & vids from a ride to Mountainview today: Mountainview ES Bike to School Sept 14, 2015 | | | | | | | | | | | Mountainview ES Bike to School Sept 14, 2015Mountainview ES Bike to School Sept 14, 2015 Christiaan Abildso Sep 14 | | | | View on goo.gl | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | Key quotes: "Why don't we do this every day?" and "Riding the bus is boring, I want to ride my bike" and the winner: "Can we do this again tomorrow?" We may try to organize another ride before the mornings get any colder than today (50 degrees), and hope to bring more youngsters along for the ride! Also had a nice retweet by the state superintendent of schools @mjmsuper - he completed a century ride on the Maryland Eastern Shore for his 40th (or 50th) birthday - we may have a friend in high places!Christiaan "When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” -Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

This message was originally HTML formatted. View in a HTML capable client to see the original version.\r\n\r\n Damien, Looks good, has both the parking authority phone and website. I think we only need to do one side as we have been placing them against the wall and they are symmetical, so even if we move them they can always have a visible side.

Bike Board site updates
by Gunnar Shogren 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Okay. Drew is going to get me an updated list of the members- http://bikemorgantown.com/bikeboard.php We never posted the minutes on the site, but the reports to the Traffic Commisioner had been, someone get these to me and I will update them- http://bikemorgantown.com/tc_reports.php We could put a link to the city's page where the minutes are as well. The Commuter Map needs redone, google changed the way they do things- http://bikemorgantown.com/route_map.php That's more than a start. Lots more *could* be added, if someone has News or Articles to share...

Bicycles May Use Full Lane signs better than Share the Lane signs. STR signs no better than no signs. http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/better-road-signs-could-s… This 2-minute clip could be used to educate our traffic officials. Frank

FW: Bike Board site updates
by Drew Gatlin 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Meant to send the email below to everyone! Also, I errantly listed “Morgantown Planning Office” instead of “Metropolitan Planning Office” next to Jing’s name in the Ex-Officio section. Best, Drew From: Drew Gatlin Sent: Friday, September 4, 2015 3:56 PM To: Gunnar Shogren Subject: RE: [Bikeboard] Bike Board site updates All, Here’s a list of updated voting and ex-officio members. If anyone sees discrepancies, please speak up! Emily Vasile, we decided last night that we’d like to keep you as a voting member as long as you wish to stay on. This leaves us with vacancies from 3rd and 4th wards, as well as one from greater Morgantown, WVU cycling clubs, and a youth member (there’s no longer a youth commission, so this is somewhat undefined). Gunnar, seems like you’re our webmaster – does that sound accurate? o Voting Members (12) • Chip Wamsley (Greater Morgantown) – Chair • John Gatlin (1st Ward) – Secretary • Gunnar Shogren (5th Ward) – Webmaster • Derek Springston (1st Ward) • Emily Vasile (2nd Ward) • Frank Gmeindl (6th Ward) • Marilyn Newcome (7th Ward) • Jonathan Rosenbaum (7th Ward) • Jonathan Nellis (Greater Morgantown) • Harry Grandon (Greater Morgantown) • Jing Zhang (Greater Morgantown) • Traci Knabenshue (WVU Office of Sustainability) o Ex-Officio (6) • Damien Davis (City Engineering) • Jenny Selin (City of Morgantown) • David Bruffy (Mountain Line Transit Authority) • Jing Zhang (Morgantown Planning Office) • 1st Sgt. Matt McCabe (Morgantown Police) • Sam Stone (Legal) • Christiaan Abildso (Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board) o Vacant, Voting (5) • Greater Morgantown (1) • 3rd Ward • 4th Ward • Youth Member • WVU Cycling o Vacant, Ex-Officio (2) • BOPARC • WVU DOT/Parking Also, Gunnar, a link on our page pointing to the minutes on the city’s page sounds like a good idea to me. Finally, regarding the google maps issues – if anyone is familiar with the new embedding process it looks like we need to update either our KML content or use a new version of Maps: While using Google Maps, you might have received a notification saying "Some custom on-map content could not be displayed." That’s because a certain type of content isn’t available anymore in the classic version of Google Maps or in maps embedded on other websites from the classic version of Maps. The content type that’s no longer available is KML, the file format Google Earth uses for the exchange of geographic information. If you're the owner of a custom map with KML content, you need to update your content. Or, you can import your KML content into My Maps.
