Bill,

Thank you. 

No, the list of locations for the signs must yet be prioritized.  First, the Infrastructure committee must separated the list into city streets and non-city streets.  Then, prioritize each list. 

I believe the form communication network between the TC and the MPO is Don Spencer since he's the only member of both.  Don, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Wow, if even a few of these signs materialized in the short run, that would be a great achievement. Thank you Frank, Chip and all others who have been working on this.  

I probably misunderstand:  Is the attached list for signage currently in priority order or is that something the infrastructure committee is yet going to do?  

Also, is there a formal communication network between the Traffic Commission and the MPO so the latter is appraised of this signage endeavor?

Bike Board Members,

Our interaction with the Traffic Commission tonight (13-May) was 
probably the most successful yet.

*1. Education*
The TC members unanimously agreed to start their next meeting 1 hour 
early to participate in the Intro to Safe Cycling course for planners 
and public officials.  (This is the presentation whose draft I sent you 
before our last meeting.  I will ask for your feedback on the final 
before I present it to the TC.)  The next TC meeting is Wednesday, 
11-July, 5:30 PM.

*2. Replacement Members*
The TC agreed with our recommendations of Autumn Bryson, Gunnar Shogren, 
Sam Stone and Alice Vernon as replacement members.

*3. Bike-and-Chevron markings*
On behalf of the Infrastructure Committee, Chip presented the attached 
recommendation for placement of the Bike-and-Chevron markings.  As you 
can see on the attached, we categorized the recommended streets into 
city streets, state or county road under DOH jurisdiction and 
intersections of city and DOH roads.  The Traffic Commission asked us to 
prioritize the city streets and to prioritize the other roads and give 
the prioritized lists to Terry Hough.  She agreed to present the 
recommendation to the WV DOH and report back to the TC and Bike Board.  
The TC is definitely behind this and wants to get at least some of it done.

4. Rail trail signs and stripes (First part of Sam Stone's request)
*The TC accepted our recommendation to install "Keep Right" signs at all 
trail entrances and voted to request BOPARC to implement.  They 
discussed extensively our striping recommendation.  They voted to 
recommend to BOPARC that they install appropriate stripes on congested 
sections of the trail.

*5. Second part of Sam Stone's request
*I reported that Stone's request was congruent with our February 
Bike-and-Chevron recommendations (Broad Goal 1 Pilot Project 1) but that 
he identified some additional routes.  I pointed out that some of both 
of our and Sam's routes are outside the city limits and all of them are 
state roads.  We have the list of routes but I didn't provide it.  I 
suggested that we provide it after the city implements the 
recommendations discussed in item #3 above.  They agreed.

*ACTION ITEM  *
The Infrastructure Committee will prioritize the Bike-under-Chevron 
recommended locations and provide the prioritized lists to Terry Hough.
