The initial submission does not require us to select a final project, but it did provide space for us to indicate potential projects. The project we indicated as of most interest at the time of submission was regional bike/ped wayfinding. Open streets sounds like another great idea. I'll keep you all informed if/when we hear back about the grant.

I'm not sure how I missed it but one thing, in particular, stood out to me as one of the funding options of the grant: open street events.

Do you have great ideas that others just don’t seem to understand? Or are you worried about how your community might react to the change? Join us for our free webinar<http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=wQf-OLfAoqzOChy1i-spVA> on how communities across the country are using pop-up events and temporary infrastructure to educate community members and improve connectivity for trails in your area. What: Pop-Up Events and Temporary Infrastructure When: Wednesday, July 31, 2019; 1–2 p.m. EDT Presenters: Ramiro Gonzalez, AICP, government affairs liaison, City of Brownsville, Texas; Jim Brown, director of TrailNation, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy; Katie Sieb, AICP, transportation planner, Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) Register today and invite your partners!<http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=3jjhx1xRKqffqUZWI3K2vQ> Register Now<http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=iKzZRyGzwSdzBK5dN1k9hA> Pop-up events and temporary infrastructure projects are flexible, inexpensive ways to demonstrate changes in streetscape designs. They help show the public how they can experience their city streets in new ways. And they open a communication channel that can guide officials to invest in projects that are supported by the public. During the webinar, you'll learn about how these strategies help promote trail network connectivity through a demonstration crosswalk in Baltimore, a Build a Better Block project in the Rio Grande Valley and Street Supplies—a library program for temporary transportation projects—in Northeast Ohio. I hope you can join us for this free event<http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=AyVOYnagC4QAwUJLMUlF-A> to hear success stories from throughout the country—and how pop-up projects can help you!

Inflatable SUP, popped, free to good home
by Christiaan Abildso via Bikeboard 14 Jul '19

14 Jul '19

All-We learned the hard way that you shouldn't leave an inflatable stand up paddleboard in the sun to dry, even for a short time. It popped, ripping about a 6-8" split in the seem. We tried all sorts of boat epoxies, flex seal etc. to no avail. I'm about to put it at the curb for trash pickup tomorrow but thought somebody could use it, even scrap pieces, rather than I throw it out. The model info is https://www.inflatableboarder.com/vilano-navigator-sup-review/ Let me know if you want it. Thanks!Christiaan Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Fwd: Bike Board meeting postponed
by Chip Wamsley via Bikeboard 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Hello Everybody, First there is no meeting tonight. The room we usually use isn't available until the first of next year due to some renovations going on at the Public Safety Building. We need to find another place for meetings. In the past we have have used the library (sometimes it's hard to get a room and they close at 8), Panera Bread and Black Bear in Evansdale, and the Blue Moose (they are closing earlier now). Get your thinking caps on and come up with some ideas and also your thoughts on days that you can and cannot meet. It would be nice to get together next week. With signs and markings going down on the road we need to get back to looking at a map that is easily used from mobile devices, get a plan for posting on social media and doing social rides, look into partnering with a group to do some ongoing stations on commuter routes like boulders Pastries on the Path ( https://www.boulderfoodrescue.org/potp/ ). Put your thinking caps on and respond! Chip

Upcoming Events including Morgantown Bike to Work Day on Tuesday, May 21st 7:30AM-9AM
by (John)Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 16 May '19

16 May '19

All, Happy National Bike to Work Week! This email contains info about quite a few upcoming bike events around town. Placeholder information about our local observance of Bike to Work Day is below. I'll try and get a flyer made ASAP unless one of you want to whip something up right quick? * Tuesday, May 20th - Morgantown Bike to Work Day at the Spruce Street Farmer's Market Pavilion, 7:30AM-9:00AM. The City of Morgantown and the Morgantown Bike Board will host this year's event in a new location and on a new day! Coffee and assorted pastries/muffins/foods will be available from 7:30AM - 9:00AM with a photo opportunity at 8:30AM. We are working with other local groups to establish a more regular bike commuter support/appreciation program similar to Boulder's Pastries on the Path<https://www.boulderfoodrescue.org/potp/>. We anticipate the first of these to be held in a few weeks on the Caperton Rail-Trail on the patio outside of Wamsley's Cycles / the Seneca Center - stay tuned. If you are interested in helping to host something like this in a location closer to your workplace or to your commute, please give me a shout! Other excellent bicycle-related events happening next week: * Monday (May 20th) - Regional Bike/Ped Plan Public Meeting at the Marilla Center<http://www.boparc.org/marilla-center.html> at Marilla Park, 6-8 pm. Unlike the open-house style meeting in February, this one will be in a workshop format that includes break-out groups gathered around maps. After the initial slide presentation, the focus will be discussion of the preliminary pedestrian and bike network recommendations (closing sidewalk gaps, proposed new mid-block crossings, intersection improvements, better access points to trails and on-street bikeways). Attached is a meeting notice/flier...please circulate far and wide among your friends and colleagues! * Tuesday (May 21st) - Kids' Safety and Fitness Expo <https://www.tourmorgantown.com/events/8th-annual-kids-safety-and-fitness-ex…> at the WVU Student Rec Center Fields, 5-7 pm. This popular community event will include a Bicycle-Rodeo style activity for the young and young at heart hosted by Andrew Hoover of the WVU Science Behind Cycling. Additionally, members of the Regional Bike/Ped Plan Update team will have a table and displays similar to the February open-house event. They'll be available if you feel like talking about the project with event attendees or want to provide additional input to Alta/Stantec and/or MMMPO staff. * Thursday (May 23rd) - Return of the Motown Social Ride<https://www.facebook.com/groups/MowtownSocialRides/> Series at the Spruce Street Farmer's Market Pavilion, 6-8 pm. Meet at 6, ride at 6:30P, be back to the pavilion by 8P. Always a popular event - bring some water, a helmet, a bicycle, and some noisemakers! Like usual this is a go-slow, no-drop ride primarily on city streets with a special focus on cut-throughs and whimsical routes through multiple neighborhoods. Finally, this week is the National Bike to Work Week and this Friday is National Bike to Work Day! Although we won't be hosting anything special, we'd love to see a picture of you riding or your bike in your office, or anything else that you think helps capture the spirit of this week. Send it to me or include the following hashtags on your favorite social media platform: #BikeMorgantown #biketowork #BTWD2019 Ride on!
