Bicycle Board Members,
Please send me items that you wish me to include on the agenda for our meeting next week. Include topic, amount of time required to discuss the topic, and the desired outcome of our discussing it. I'll collect the inputs and send out the agenda Sunday.
Attached are the minutes of our last meeting. Thanks to Don Spencer for creating them.
Of course, we're going to prioritize candidates for replacing our two vacancies (other than the Youth Commission member). I am happy to announce that Jim Rye would like to rejoin.
Finally, we should complete refreshing our goals. Here's a reminder from our March meeting minutes.
Each BB member wrote down his/her heartfelt goal on a post-it note. These goals, as listed below (word for word), were then categorized into the following groups: WVU: . Getting more students out of cars and using bikes as a means of transportation . Work with regional wellness council to enable, promote, and reinforce active commuting among employees . Help WVU promote bike commuting and promote administration support of alternative transportation by faculty, staff, and students . All goals that pertain to WVU ENCOURAGEMENT . Make cycling more available and inviting to youth and public for fitness as well as transportation . Generate signed bicycle routes throughout the city connecting various destinations in the city . Influence one person to commute by bicycle . Bike route maps for commuters online and/or in print EDUCATION . Our education recommendations to the Traffic Commission are implemented . Children in schools-teach safe riding on roads, streets, and trails INFRASTRUCTURE . Maintain and improve roadways for safer bicycling (especially shoulders and grates) . Traffic calming everywhere . Neighborhood connections: For instance: Krepps, Star City Trail . Woods along the ridge just off the highway above the park OR through the park so families and others don't drive to the river trail to bike
Also attached again is the wonderful annual report that Betsy wrote for us to use to review the goals that we previously identified and our progress toward achieving them.
Now, the only excuse for not being prepared for the meeting is that you were out riding in this gorgeous weather!
