Mr. Gmeindl,    

                You are quite welcome.  Glad we could do something that makes cycling much safer.

Bryan,

I rode up Mon Blvd. today from Star City Bridge to the Coliseum and observed that the former in-line drainage grates have been replaced with bicycle friendly grates.  (See attached Before and After photos).  

On behalf of Morgantown area bicyclists, I give you thanks! 

Replacing those grates corrects a significant dangerous situation especially since the now nicely repaved shoulder eases the climb from the bridge to the Coliseum.

Thank you for considering bicyclists in all WVDOH projects!
