Bike Train resources for schools
by Jonathan Rosenbaum via Bikeboard 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

The Safe Routes to Schools National Partnership came out with new resources for setting up bike train programs at schools. Christiaan Albildso already has something going, maybe we can get these resources out to other interested parties to get more trains rolling. We should at least put these documents up on our website / FB page. https://www.saferoutespartnership.org/sites/default/files/031918-srs-biketr… https://www.saferoutespartnership.org/sites/default/files/get_rolling_with_… -Jonathan

by Jonathan Rosenbaum via Bikeboard 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

I realize this announcement is a little late, but hopefully there are some folk looking for something unusual to do during Spring Break. Positive Spin is performing a large pickup at the Granville Walmart today at 1pm (80 bikes and 4 additional pallets) and we are looking for a few additional volunteers. Meet us in the automotive parking lot on the side of Walmart in Granville if you would like to help load and unload these bikes onto the large flatbed that McDaniels towing will be providing for free, also Garcia's will be providing free food for volunteers. -Jonathan

by Bridget O'Meara via Bikeboard 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi all, We are planning the first social ride of the season for this Friday, March 16 at 6pm, starting from the farmer's market pavillion. Unfortunately I just realized I have to be out of town next weekend. Is there anyone else who would be able to lead this ride? If not, I could do it the following week, but we are trying to get the third Friday of the month to stick. Best, Bridget

by Jonathan Rosenbaum via Bikeboard 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

There is a public input session that includes considering the 5% grade connector to the rail trail through adjacent WVU property this Monday and March 26. I hope some folk from the BB and the biking community at-large can attend one or both of these sessions. Public Input Sessions March 5th and March 26th 1:30 to 4:00 pm * March 5 Public input session * March 26 Students present designs and collect public input -------- Original Message -------- SUBJECT: WVU Core Arboretum master planning project input this Monday DATE: 2018-03-02 09:14 FROM: Zachariah Fowler <zfowler(a)mail.wvu.edu> TO: Hello, I hope that your spring is off to a good start. Things are starting to wake up here at the Arboretum! Harbingers of spring are in bloom, birds are starting to sing, and several other plants, including bluebells, are coming up already. I am writing to let you know about an exciting project at the Arboretum, and some opportunities to provide input. Landscape Architecture students at WVU are beginning to work on an Arboretum master planning project. This should be a great thing for the Arboretum's future, and it is an opportunity to dream big! Some of these students are hosting public sessions to get input about some "potential" future Arboretum projects that they are starting to work on. Some of the ideas include: a visitor's center, 5% grade connector to rail trail through adjacent WVU property, wetland rehabilitation/boardwalk, dock with kayak ramp, reconnecting to the northern portion of the Arboretum, etc. The first session is this Monday at 1:30-4:00 in the new Agricultural Sciences Building Room 4443. If you are available, come help these students develop some great ideas! RSVP to get a parking pass, see attached flyer for details. Sorry for the late notice, but this is a class project that is just now coming together. This is the first iteration of many, and there will be plenty of chances to provide input. A final master plan will not be produced this semester. Thanks, Zach Fowler Zach Fowler WVU Core Arboretum Director Clinical Assistant Professor WVU Department of Biology 304-293-0387
