This might also be a good time to remind the Beechview developers that they agreed to provide secure bicycle parking for their tenants.  I don't recall the design of the parking but I believe it was a locked cage that tenants could access with their room key and that within the cage, the bicycle racks would conform to APBP recommendations, http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.apbp.org/resource/resmgr/publications/bicycle_parking_guidelines.pdf .  

I'm copying Chris Fletcher Morgantown Director of Development Services since he was in contact with the developer about bicycle parking.

Hope to talk to Trevor once he is back in the office.  I know of the "paved" ramp which is to be cleaned up and repaved once the weather accommodates.    We have also asked for culverts at this site because this "sketchy" access is blocking water at our ditch lines.

Thanks Derek.  A street address always works well and/or best. (make
me click on a website link...)  :)
Didn't/don't they have a little paved ramp down to the rail trail,
albeit probably "unsanctioned" and a bit sketchy?
They have steps there.  It's like a 7 foot difference isn't it? Or
perhaps they're doing something different now.
I will look at it and report back later in this fine and blustery day.

Care to enlighten me/us as to just where this is?  I just tried The
Google and didn't come up w/ anything.


This is a perfect opportunity to request that ramp(s) be placed on the
side
of these new steps so that bicyclists can easily push their bicycles
up/down, rather than having to carry their bicycles up the steps.  This
would be an easy thing to add.

Who could we contact to make this request?
