Dear Bicycle Board Members,
We’ll finish Thursday’s meeting a lot quicker if everyone shows up already familiar with the map at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KdzWWW29ZXA3B4ZnTBQgb-ZWwJIHLJRa&usp=s... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KdzWWW29ZXA3B4ZnTBQgb-ZWwJIHLJRa&usp=sharing . It shows a preliminary complete bicycle infrastructure for Morgantown.
GO AHEAD. OPEN IT NOW! :) You’ll have to zoom in to see detail (click the + sign in the lower right corner).
The map has 11 layers that you can turn on or off by clicking the check box beside each layer’s name. The layers are: - Proposed Climbing Lanes - Proposed On-Road Bike Routes - Unconventional On-Road (or in Parking Lot) Routes - Proposed Off-Road Paths / Trails - Unavoidable State-Owned Routes - Useful Points of Interest - Parking Mousing over the items in any lay that you’ve turned on will “light up” the items in that layer.
If you’re like me, once you’ve explored the map this far, nobody has to tell you to dig deeper! You’ll find yourself zooming in and out and navigating around to see what’s all there. Then, when we all show up for Thursday’s meeting, we’ll be ready to start working together to make this a reality!

P.S. Drew spent countless hours creating this map starting last November after he, Chip, Jing and I worked on identifying bike routes to be signed. As you know, the BB has been working on maps, markings and signs for more than 10 years and this is the first look that expands beyond the roads and the rail trail.
