Frank et al,
It sounds like the logical direction to proceed as all streets and roads are connected and sometimes fall under multiple jurisdictions, not to mention maintaining a unified approach to fulfilling our goals.

Bicycle Board Members,
Bill Austin, Chris Fletcher (City Director of Planning and Development) and Terrence Moore recently met and decided to create a memorandum of understanding between the City and the MPO that expands the Bicycle Board's scope to include both the City and the greater Morgantown area (basically Mon County). As you know, we are currently an advisory board to the City Traffic Commission. I suppose under the new agreement, we will also be an advisory board to the MPO. The expanded scope will enable us to have standing with the MPO which will be particularly useful to the MPO in the upcoming updating of the Long-Range Transportation Plan. Some details will have to be worked out. First will probably be to get Traffic Commission concurrence on the idea and then to propose a revision to our Procedural Guidelines to redefine our mission, roles and responsibilities, membership, duties & responsibilities, goals, objectives, and hopefully add a budget.
This is just FYI but I'd appreciate your thoughts.
