Kim,
If you're trying to identify actions and accomplishments for making the
State more bicycle friendly, Morgantown's application for the LAB
Bicycle Friendly Community award provides a good summary for
Morgantown. The application is available at
http://www.morgantown.com/bike-board-documents/BFC%20Application.zip on
the City's web site http://www.morgantown.com/.
We didn't win the award but it helped us focus our efforts on the 5Es
around which the application criteria are organized: Education,
Enforcement, Engineering, Encouragement and Evaluation. The attached
pdf file is LAB's feedback to our application.
Since our BFC application, we have received WVDOH approval to apply
Shared Lane Markings (sharrows) and Bicycles May Use Full Lane signs to
select Morgantown roadways. The attached file,
Chevron_press_release_v003.doc describes these. The City has put $35K
in the budget for these this year.
Also since our application, the State has given us a WV Transportation
Enhancement Program grant for a Morgantown Effective Cycling Education
Program. Attached is the final draft of our application that explains
the education program. Could you help us with the Social Marketing
part?
Also at
http://www.morgantown.com/bike-board-documents/Accommodating_Bicycles_presesntation_to_MPO_28Feb2008n.pdf
on the City's website is a Morgantown Bicycle Board presentation, Accommodating
Bicycles, to the Greater Morgantown Metropolitan Planning
Organization that provides a plan and goals for accommodating bicycles
in the Morgantown Metropolitan Statistical Area.
I know I've pointed you at a lot of stuff. We've been working on this
for over two years. Reviewing the attached items might help us hit the
ground running when we meet.

Bicycles fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of
vehicles

Hey Frank,
Bill Reger-Nahs suggest I touch base with you on a meeting I am working
with Bill Robinson to set up regarding the State's next response to the
League of American Bicyclists survey that was used to rank states for
biking. The report is due in March and we would like to get bike
leaders together and catalog the State's activities in regards to the
survey. I noticed one item in the report I think you are personally
doing and could change a no answer to a yes.
Nothing has been set up yet as far as places, dates or times. I just
wanted to let you know we are working on organizing it and want to do
all we can to make sure you can be there. I would appreciate any
feedback that could help with that.
Thank you!
