Bicycle Board Members,
FYI, WVDOH says they'll put Share the Road signs on 705.

Board Members,
For your information
As we discussed at the last MPO meeting there were some concerns that the recent improvement to WV 705 between Stewartstown and the Mileground did not sufficiently address cyclists potential use of the road. I spoke informally to the local DOH Traffic Engineer today and he informed me that they will be installing Share the Road Sign on the facility in the next two months. I should have more detailed information in this matter in the next couple of weeks. This should make the situation a little better for cyclists in the area.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this matter or if I may be of assistance.
Thank you,
Bill Austin, AICP
