Hi Frank,
Please find the MS Word version of our application attached. We recommend using Google docs for collaboration on the application. A community that has had a good collaborative effort is Alexandria, VA. Let me know if you need their contact information.
We are excited to see all those great changes that have happened in your community. Thank you for all your hard work.
Best regards,
Nicole

Dear LAB,
The City of Morgantown, WV is preparing to submit it's second BFC application in February. Thanks for posting a PDF of the application at http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/pdfs/bfc_applicati... . Can you provide a format that we can populate? For example, an MS Word template. We recognize that the final application must be submitted on-line but we need a format on which we can collaboratively build our application.
Also, if you have experience with other communities whose members have collaborated on the application, could you please share with us what worked? When we last applied in 2007, several people including the City Manager, Public Works Director, Chief of Police, Parks and Recreation Director, etc. input to the application. At that time, we worked with a shared MS Word document.
We are excited to get rolling on this application. Since our last application, we have implemented most of the recommendations that you gave us and we're looking forward to a re-evaluation.
How does one include photographs in the on-line application and reference documents such as our comprehensive Bicycle Plan to the on-line application? Frank D.
