David didn't have any figures the last time I talked with him. The other variable is the site prep (do we need a concrete pad, etc...) and that will be different for every shelter, which will probably require an on site visit with someone knowledgeable like David or Damien.

Chip, As we discussed, for the FY14 grant, I requested the ridership data from David Bruffy this morning. Also, as we discussed, I think the steps we should take to get our recommendations to the WVDOH for the bike shelters include this:
1. Compare the shelter locations listed in the FY14 grant with MountainLine's ridership data to determine shelters we think have the most potential for use.
2. Determine how much money in the grant will go toward the shelters and number of shelters we can install. We stated $80,400 for 12 locations, but these may change depending on:
- proposed SLMs and budget for them that we submitted to WVDOH
- number of shelters may increase due to funded shelters through advertisement companies per Mountainline
- potential reduced construction and labor costs
3.Meet with Bike Board grant/mapping sub-committee to finalize priority locations and/or rank all locations
4. Submit to City (Damien) in order to provide recommendations to WVDOH.
Thoughts, advice anyone? Let's get this done.
Thanks,
~Derek
