Bicycle Board Members,
Attached is a letter that Damien Davis, Assistant City Engineersent 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 agreedwith our recommendations. There is however, one remaining obstacle. They will not give the City the permission to proceed until the City and WVUcan work out a solution to the motor vehicle parking that occurs on theshoulder during events at the Coliseum. The City has an action item to workwith the University to develop a solution. A time table is stillundefined.
My overall assessment is that the City and WVDOT/H are much morecooperative with us now.
Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers ofvehicles
