Until the City of Morgantown Public Works Department starts monitoring the bikewise site, you can report infrastructure problems on the City website, http://www.morgantown.com/ at the "Request for Services" link. 

There's a specific Traffic Signal Problem form at

Request for Services >> Request for City Services >> Make a Request >> Topics  » Streets and Sidewalks  »  Traffic Signal Problem

The following link takes you directly there: 
http://com4.govtsystems.com/ReqPMorgantownWV/AnonRequests/RequestForm.aspx?FormId=123

I don't know how it works but perhaps it's worth a try.

Good morning,
I should have read the article before I posted.  The Bikewise site defaults to Seattle, but actually is available anywhere there is Google map info.  You can register, set your default location, and then put in reports about thefts, hazards, crashes and annoyances.  I tested it by reporting the light at 6th and Beechurst that doesn't respond to bicyclists waiting to cross the thoroughfare.

I'd encourage everyone else to share as much info as you have so that others can benefit from it.  As the article states, there is no official link to authorities that can do road repairs or engineering to address problems.  However, there's the opportunity for authorities to take it upon themselves if they monitor the site.

Hope this helps.

Good morning,
On one of the environmental websites I read regularly this news item appeared today.  I'll be out there next week and will check into it further.  Chances are that I know someone in the program if anyone would like more info on it.
