Meeting April 6th: Bike Month Planning - You've Got Homework. Agenda & Read-Aheads Attached
by Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

Howdy Board, Your homework, even if you're not able to attend the meeting: Reach out to your cycling friends in other cities, or just ruminate on what you'd like to see / do here for Bike Month 2017. We haven't allocated the $5K in escrow yet, so feel free to dream big. We also have some leftover grant funds we may be able to use. Perhaps we can put together event kits for groups around town to host bike events on their own? At businesses and at schools, for example? Some inspiration from the league: http://bikeleague.org/bikemonth Conversely, our Pittsburgh neighbors don't appear to place as much emphasis on Bike Month as some parts of the country. Maybe a different time of year for a larger series of events would work better for us too? Also: if there was one road that we could paint with sharrows first, months before the installation of the whole project -- and you were limited to choosing a city road -- which would you choose to paint? This theoretical installation would serve as a motivator for all stakeholders involved. Hope you've been enjoying this early spring on two wheels! Drew

Hi all, March meeting minutes are attached. Please take a look and let me know if you have any changes or corrections. Harry recently shared some ideas for sharrows stickers in a jpg form. These are the same images we circulated before, but in a more edit-able format for anyone who is feeling creative. I put these images, a picture of an actual sharrow on a road, and the inspiration for the sharrows sticker idea on our rocketchat platform. If you haven't yet, sign up and take a look! https://chat.bikelover.org/channel/sharrow_sticker_ideas <https://chat.bikelover.org/channel/sharrow_sticker_ideas> We had a visit from Dan Shook, Director of the Safe Communities America Initiative, at the meeting. To find out more about the work he's doing around community safety, visit the website here: http://www.safemorgantownwvu.org/ <http://www.safemorgantownwvu.org/> Don't forget, you can find (and add) bike racks around Morgantown through our local RackSpotter platform: https://www.rackspotter.com/greater-morgantown <https://www.rackspotter.com/greater-morgantown> Please let me know if I missed anything! Best, Christina
