Bicycle Board Members,

Here's a case where we're making progress before we even got a chance to formally present our recommendation to the Traffic Commission.

You may recall that I sent you for your review the recommendation to correct the in-line grates.  Well, this month's Traffic Commission meeting didn't happen and I didn't get a chance to present the recommendation.  I don't know how Terry Hough got it but apparently, she thinks it's important enough to take action before the Traffic Commission even sees it.  I only wish it had something to do with roadways rather than shoulders.

Gentlemen,

Attached is a proposed letter to the Morgantown Traffic Commission
regarding grates that exist on DOH routes and other locations.  The
complaint was first sent to the City of Morgantown.  As the City has no
control of either the storm drainage or work within DOH rights-of-way,
this was passed on to both MUB and DOH for your consideration.  The
Traffic Commission, being a committee of the City of Morgantown, also
has no jurisdiction over this issue.

You will notice from the emails, that there has been no real response to
the issue.  Everyone recognizes the fact that we are all very busy with
respect to our work load.  I would like to personally request that some
type of response be forwarded regarding this issue.  I would greatly
appreciate it!!!

Thanks again for all of your help!!!
Terry
