Frank,
You did an excellent job in incorporating changes. I applaud you and everyone else on your diligent work.
I made some comments to the document. Mostly they were with respect to verbage that obligates the City to perform the projects. Unfortunately, these kinds of issues may end up putting a halt on the plans. As such, the City Attorney, Steve Fanok, will need to review the plan prior to it going to City Council. You may want to share the plan with him sooner rather than later so that he doesn't come up with any surprises that you or I (or anyone else), have not seen.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding these.
Thanks, Terry

Mr. Gmeindl:
Good morning. I reviewed the document quickly and offer only one suggested modification. The table at the end of the document includes different color text. For document reproduction purposes, all text should be black as color text looses its intended effect when photocopied.
Respectfully,
Christopher M. Fletcher, AICP Director of Development Services

Dear Public Officials and Traffic Commission members,
Please find attached, version 12 (MBPv12wchanges.docx) of the Morgantown Bicycle Plan. This version is a revision in response to comments from Ed Preston, Perry Keller, Bill Austin, Terrence Moore, Terry Hough and Chris Fletcher.
To make it easy for you to see what's different in this version from the previous version that you received, the attached file highlights the changes.
The next steps are to get the Traffic Commission's review and then to present it to City Council on January 31. To make the plan as good as possible, we remain open to comments and suggestions.
The versions of the plan, the comments that we receive and our responses to the comments can all be found at http://db.tt/Bse1rpGr . (When we received comments in MS Word or other editable format, our response to each comment appears within the document adjacent to the comment.)
Thank you for your diligence and generosity!

Dear Public Officials,
I have added Perry Keller and Wes Stafford to the list of recipients of this message and am resending it to everyone so that you all know who's getting it. There are no other changes.
Frank
Dear Public Officials,
Please find attached, the first preliminary Morgantown Bicycle Plan developed by the Bicycle Board. Within the next few days, you will also receive a paper copy.
Please review the plan and give me your comments by December 7. We would like to include the plan in a February application to the League of American Bicyclists' for the Bicycle Friendly Community award.
Since you are a key stakeholder in the plan, we want you to make it your plan. We will revise it to address your comments. We will ask you to approve the revision before we release it to the public.
Please provide me your comments in whatever way is most convenient for you. You could open the attached MS Word document and mark it up using track changes and comments, or you could mark up the hard copy with pen and ink, or you could write your comments in an e-mail message, or you could simply tell me what you think.
If you would like to discuss the plan, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
