All - Please find attached this Wednesday's Traffic Commission agenda. There are two items of critical importance to the Pedestrian Safety Board: 1) an update from WVU Construction; and 2) speeding/pedestrian behavior & enforcement.
I strongly encourage you all to attend and briefly talk about your specific concerns/observations/reasons for interest in the issue. I may stir the pot a bit, but work toward a plan of action of course. We start at 6:30 at City Council chambers on Spruce Street.
Mike B, Regina, and/or Jan - want to speak about the Willey Street temporary sidewalk closure and ADA issues during public comments at the beginning of the meeting? Maria - want to send any students to remind folks about some key highlights from their study that may inform enforcement? Kelly, Matt, Peter, Mary - want to reinforce the powerful message you presented at last month's meeting?
It's time to speak much more often and much more loudly. Lives are at stake. Christiaan
Walk more, safely
