Bicycle Board Members,
Attached is a letter that Damien Davis, Assistant City Engineer sent to WVDOT/H that summarizes our response to their points on the Mon Blvd. bike lane. At a meeting today with 5 members of the WVDOT/H, they agreed with our recommendations. There is however, one remaining obstacle. They will not give the City the permission to proceed until the City and WVU can work out a solution to the motor vehicle parking that occurs on the shoulder during events at the Coliseum. The City has an action item to work with the University to develop a solution. A time table is still undefined.
My overall assessment is that the City and WVDOT/H are much more cooperative with us now.

Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles
