It's a good strategy because of the rural nature of WV. Changing the wording from complete streets to complete transportation opens up the possibility to reach a wider audience. I have been convinced for months now that a coalition is a requirement if we want real change in state legislation and Kasey's action plan adds some additional measures.

Bicycle Board Members,

Tomorrow at 8 am, Christiaan, Bill Austin and I will meet with Kasey Russell at Waterfront Place to discuss her new organization, Connecting Communities. Kasey is a Charleston City Councilor. From the attached, " Connecting Communities will provide a unifying voice for citizens, elected officials, and policy leaders to address smart growth and a complete transportation system for our state."

What do you think?

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