Frank and all, I think Jenny has the best map that's been made so far and she has ground-proofed it as well as one can. Ken Martis is definitely an ally and knows his way around. But I'm pretty sure there is not a right-of-way the whole way through. The city has tried sporadically to list ROW'S and more importantly the official abandonment of ROWs. But I don't think the latter effort is totally up to date or systematically recorded. I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

Greg, Jonathan, Jenny, Jake,

I need to provide Damien Davis a map or maps that show the Campus Connector and the property lines under and adjacent to it.  Can someone provide those to me in a format that I can send to Damien?

At tonight's Traffic Commission meeting, the TC accepted our letter and passed a motion to request the City Manager to investigate and identify property ownership within the general alignment of the Connector.

After I read the letter, Ken Martis said that the county property maps show who owns what property under and adjacent to the Campus Connector.  Have any of you checked the property maps?  He also said that the Planning Commission is pursuing the Campus Connector.  He said that he thinks there is a right of way that can be used that avoids the property of any resistant owners (Saab).  Ken is the Planning Commission representative on the TC and is a renowned WVU geography professor so he should know. 

In anticipation that the City Manager will assign the task to the Engineering Department, I agreed to give Damien Davis whatever information we already have on the Campus Connector planned route and property ownership boundaries.
