Crossroads Public Meeting - Morgantown and Star City Comprehensive Plans
by Christopher Fletcher 29 May '12

29 May '12

All: Good afternoon. The next Crossroads Public Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 6 , 2012 at 6:00 PM at West Virginia University's Mountaineer Station at 1112 Van Voorhis Road. I have attached the announcement flyer that includes answers to frequently asked questions about the Crossroads project. This public meeting is titled "Community Choices" and will involve an assembly and small group work. The assembly will focus on the public input received so far and present a draft vision for the region. Participants will be asked to indicate their level of support for various aspects of the vision and specific policy choices that will affect the region. In the small groups, participants will focus on critical questions related specifically to either Morgantown or the Town of Star City. These small group discussions will help inform the comprehensive planning work for both communities. The Crossroads joint planning project can be followed at www.CrossroadsMon.com or at facebook.com/ Crossroads Mon. Successful participation hinges on getting the word out . Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends, family, neighbors, and associates. More often than not, folks attend public workshops when asked or informed by folks they know. Thank you in advance for your assistance and participation. We look forward to seeing you on June 6th . Respectfully, Christopher M. Fletcher, AICP Director of Development Services 389 Spruce Street Morgantown, WV 26505 (o) 304-284-7413 (f) 304-284-7534 (c) 304-906-7843 cfletcher(a)cityofmorgantown.org

How a conference works
by Chet Parsons 22 May '12

22 May '12

For all you policy wonks out there, here is a good flowchart from America Bikes explaining how conferencing works in Congress. Say, for example, there was a major piece of legislation being worked on relating to transportation across this great land of ours, this is how the legislation would be discussed and worked through before becoming law. Enjoy! http://www.americabikes.org/how_conference_works

Bicycle Friendly Community
by Frank Gmeindl 20 May '12

20 May '12

Morgantown City Council, Traffic Commission and City Manager. Attached, please find the League of American Bicyclists' feedback on Morgantown's application for Bicycle Friendly Community recognition. As you know, the LAB has recognized Morgantown as a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community. While remarkable in itself, this recognition is also significant when one recognizes that Morgantown is the first and only bronze level BFC in WV while LAB had ranked WV 50th among bicycle friendly states. I'm happy to say that this year, LAB scored WV higher in bicycling education and encouragement increasing WV from 50th to 48th. I think Morgantown can take some credit for that. Attached is the LAB feedback on our application. Fortunately, the Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan that you unanimously adopted already addresses much of the feedback. Now, the City's challenge is to implement the plan. We are due for renewal in February 2016. As many of you expressed at the May 1 City Council meeting, you want to go for Silver. To do so, or even to retain our Bronze status, we can't stand still. Also attached is the press release that announces our recognition. Frank D. Gmeindl Chairman, Morgantown Municipal Bicycle Board LCI #1703 491 WilsonAvenue Morgantown, WV 26501 304-376-0446 Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

Bike Friendly Fairmont
by director 19 May '12

19 May '12

Good morning, I was skimming the League's review of Morgantown's BFC application and I was really feeling good about all the things that you've all accomplished in educating cyclists and motorists about sharing the road. At the same time, I was troubled by a phone call I got last nite from a Fairmont cyclist (she prefers not to use her name) last nite after she rode from her home on Fairmont Ave. to the MAC trail saying that she had been harassed by drivers and passengers shouting arrogant, agressive and sexist remarks. She has taken the Confident City Cyclist class, was riding vehicularly and was behaving safely in every way. She was in tears talking about how it felt, and rightly expressed that someone who is exercising their legal right to the road shouldn't have to put up with being treated badly. She was also rightly concerned for her safety, as this treatment is distracting and in one case occurred while she was crossing the 3rd St high bridge. I suggested that she do the following: Write a letter to the editor of the local paper (Times West-Virginian) or see if an article can be submitted Contact riders with the Fairmont Fliers and see if they would be interested in adding their experiences Contact Joe Sallmen, a regular Fairmont commuter to South Fairmont Is there anything we can offer to riders in Fairmont to help spread some of the driver and rider awareness we've created here? I appreciate any help and will pass it on. I really like this particular volunteer but nobody should have to put up with this kind of treatment - and this might be an opportunity to change attitudes city-wide. Especially during bike week. Nick Hein LCI# 1705 Director, Positive Spin 803 East Brockway Ave Morgantown, WV ph 304-276-0213
