Jim,

Thanks for the prompt response.  And thanks especially for offering to sit down and talk.  

I am out of town today and will get back with you when I return.  The Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan http://tinyurl.com/amgsx9u that City Council adopted 11 months ago is a plan for making Morgantown more bicycle friendly.  It has many projects that are no-cost.  

I look forward to talking with you!

Frank

Frank,

Lets sit down and talk about what needs to be done to make Morgantown more bike and pedestrian friendly. As you are aware the City is in a short term financial crunch for a variety reasons. We don't have money to pave streets this year. I don't remember this ever happening. However, we are working hard to get our City into a solid financial state. You input and opinion are valuable.

They got $1.6M federal funding.

Pgh. that started installing Shared Lane Markings a year after we proposed to do so in 2007 is now 16th highest bicycle commuting city in the nation and named one of the nation's top 30 bicycle friendly cities.
