Monongalia County Comprehensive Plan
by Chet Parsons 11 May '12

11 May '12

Folks - the first public meeting is scheduled for the development of the Mon County Comp Plan. I'd love it if the Bike Board could be in attendance to share some ideas on non-motorized activity outside of city limits. Right now, the only areas that the County Commission has approved for the plan are the four planning districts - Cheat Lake, Cheat Neck, West Run, and Stewartstown, but we're hoping to show that the entire county would benefit from a plan. As far as transportation, we're creating this plan to complement what the MPO, City of Morgantown, and Star City are doing with * Crossroads*, so a lot of the transportation direction will benefit from some consistency across the board between the two plans. All the information can be found on our blog at planmoncounty.com Let me know if you have any questions! Chet

Thank You & National Bike Challenge
by Christiaan Abildso 11 May '12

11 May '12

Ladies & gents - First, thank you to all of those that organized and rode on the Spring Spectacular last weekend...as a first time group road rider, I felt very welcomed and encouraged to ride along with others. I learned quite a bit on proper group riding/communication, and greatly enjoyed my first time on the 100/19 loop. What a great community of riders we have! Secondly, I've been trying to rustle up a few folks to register for the National Bike Challenge (track milage for points, prizes, and prideful boasting)...the results display by individual, community, workplace, and/or team. I see that Gunnar started a Bike Morgantown team - fantastic! I started a WVU CPASS team and there is a Mylan team as well. Just thought I'd post some of the WV leaderboard so far... Community: 1st: Charleston 2nd: Morgantown 3rd: Clarksburg Teams: only 9 in WV so far WVU CPASS - 4th Bike Morgantown...no miles/points logged yet (though I nearly wiped out & hit Gunnar this morning, so I know he's riding) Workplaces: Mylan - 5th WVU - 7th I hope you'll all consider signing up, recruiting other riders, & logging your miles (online or using smartphone app) to help show just how strong the bicycling community is in Morgantown, building upon recent momentum in promoting cycling in the area. Thank you all Christiaan You think you have to want more than you need. Until you have it all you won't be free. Society you're a crazy breed -Eddie Vedder

DRAFT Community Profile for LAB website
by Traci Liebig 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi all, Here's a draft community profile for the LAB's website. Also, here's a link to Pittsburgh's profile as an example. Most profiles I viewed had 200-300 ish words, so I tried to stay with that. The stats under the profile paragraph are also listed on each city's page, so I took Morgantown's numbers directly from the LAB application. http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/communities/bfc_p… A few things to consider: 1) Can someone tell me how many people we've graduated through the cycling course? 2) Things I don't mention, but you can give feedback if you think they're critical to add-- bike racks on front of buses, complete streets policy 3) Some community profiles have an extra little section entitled "Most significant bicycle-related statistic" while others had one that read "Recent Accomplishments." Anyone have anything they want to draw particular attention to as a separate paragraph? 4) Anything else? Let me know. Draft press release coming soon. Thanks! Traci

Re: [Bikeboard] DOH State Bike Plan /Meeting
by Frank Gmeindl 10 May '12

10 May '12

The Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan can be found at http://db.tt/WbRG4WzL . It does not extend much beyond the Morgantown city limits and bike routes are a small part of it. See http://bikemorgantown.com/route_map.php for the Morgantown bike route. My understanding is that the May 15 workshop's objective is to define bike routes to connect WV population centers to neighboring states. At a minimum, I strongly suggest that we all advocate for making Rt. 100 a bike route from Monongahela Ave. in Westover to Rt. 19. At least smooth it and sign it. I would suggest that we try to make any road a bike route that would provide a good cycling connection to PA if only sufficient improvement were made to enable all cyclists, not just top level cyclists to ride it safely and fearlessly. At a minimum, these roads should be signed with Share the Road signs, or better, R4-11 signs (Bicycles May Use Full Lane) and/or climbing lanes widened to a minimum of 14 feet. Bike Route signs should be considered with great care because they may indicate that a route signed with them is an exceptionally pleasant route to bicycle. Roads that I would suggest considering at your meeting: Fort Martin Rd. (CR 53) from PA state line to Maidsville. Rt. 857 from the PA line to Pierpont Rd.. Rt. 19 from Mt. Morris to Morgantown. Rt. 73 from Coopers Rock to Bruceton Mills. Kingwood Pike. Rt. 7 from Reedsville to Rt. 26, then Rt. 26 to the PA line. Rt. 72 from Parsons to Kingwood. Rt. 7 from Morgantown to Blacksville and then Rt. 218 to the PA line. Rt. 19 between Fairmont and Morgantown. Rt. 73 between Fairmont and Morgantown. I may not be there Saturday because I like to go to the Farmer's Market and then ride on Saturdays. Frank D.
