Bicycle Board Members,
Following is the route proposed by the Pedestrian Safety Board for the MPO Conference Mobile Laboratory: Leave Hotel Morgan Up Beechurst Right on Patteson/705 to Willowdale Right on Willowdale Left on Irwin Left on Chestnut Ridge Left on Stewartstown Left into Suncrest Town Center Right onto 705 Right onto Mileground Continue to Willey Willey back to town.
Please reply by 9/21 with any bicycling points along the route and their specific locations that we should indicate to the WVDOH and other participants that will be on the bus. These would be points that illustrate bicyclist needs and issues that are common throughout the state.
We can suggest changes to the route. The mobile lab will be a small 24 passenger Mountain Line bus. We may be able to get the driver to stop at interesting locations along the route however the tour must fit in the 12:30 -1:50 time slot on 10/27.
I will compile your recommendations and provide a script to Bill Austin by 9/24 unless one of you wants to volunteer to do that.
Referring to the minutes (attached) of the last 2 BB meetings in which we brainstormed ideas of routes and things to show them might help you respond to this message.
I attended the Ped meeting last night and the above was the consensus route for indicating pedestrian issues. Matthew Cross will be the pedestrian spokesperson on the bus. I will be the bicycling spokesperson unless one of you want to do it or if I can persuade one of you to do it.
