Subject: WVU Construction & Police enforcement to be discussed Wed!!!

Reply-To: Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board <walkmgw@yahoo.com>

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.

Walk more, safely
