The racks look cool. In my opinion, though, I would not design them to sandwich a front tire. I would make a single upright of thick gauge metal and move it out from the wall to contact the side of the bike. Its basically a stylish inverted U rack. . If they were evenly spaced in that 17'10 gap ~(3',6',6',3' spacing), you could easily park 6 bikes in there, 2 per rack.

This would meet the requirements in the document Jonathan shared, as well, it allows 2 bikes to be locked to each rack. It's also more supportive. If I were to park my bike at one of these racks as designed, I would use my rear tire for more stability.

All,

I've attached some reference materials for the various agenda items for your review. I suggest the following order of priority for the various PFB docs: Ratings, BNA-email, Snapshot-email, BNA-Morgantown and then finally the PFB-Snapshot application.

I'll try to get a copy of the Mills Group artistic bike rack designs before our meeting.

Best,

Drew

All,

As I mentioned last week, I will host a bike board virtual meeting tomorrow from 4:30pm – 5:30pm using the following Zoom videoconference details:

Drew Gatlin is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

I would like to add a possible agenda item. There is some local enthusiasm for sculpture as functioning bike racks. Pittsburgh has a few: https://trustarts.org/pct_home/visual-arts/public-art/bike-racks What should a sculptor/artist know to allow their work to be utilitarian, are there specifications that can be shared.

Thanks,

Drew,

Sounds good, the virtual meetings work good if there are people who might be out of town, that might be before Harry's hip surgery and Marilyn might be back. I can send out a summary of the new bike friendly app, it is different from the last one with a slightly different slant and the info from the alta and stantec studies should help supply some of the metrics.

Previous members of the bike board,

There's been some discussion about trying to meet over the past few months, and a few items that have come by my desk that would benefit from citizen review. One more came up today, so I'd like to propose either a virtual or a socially distanced outdoor meeting on Wednesday, July 29th from 4:30-5:30pm. Open to other suggestions for time.

On the potential agenda:

1) A comprehensive and holistic assessment of all bike parking facilities along the Riverfront. Objective is to provide assessment to Mon River Revitalization Task Force and suggest desires for consistency or diversity, where to install new ones, where to remove / relocate ones that aren't working, and which to replace with better designs. Goal of assessment is to help task force maximize the ability of cyclists to use Riverfront amenities while minimizing damage to trees and other infrastructure that might come from unplanned bike parking.

2) The People for Bikes city scores / Bicycle Network Analysis: Review of 2020 rating and plan to update open street map with current data to better inform 2021 analysis

3) Expiration of Morgantown's Bronze level BFC award this fall, and decision whether / plan to re-apply.

Thoughts? We could call this a temporary working group if you'd like to not commit to re-starting the bike board. Might help calm the nerves!

-Drew
