Bicycle Board Members,
The Morgantown Monongalia MPO is working on the Regional Bike Plan (Plan) as recommended in the recently adopted 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Morgantown Bike Board members are cordially invited to participate in the steering committee for the Plan.
The purpose of this committee is to
* Provide guidance and direction for the Plan
* Identify the interests of bicyclists in the area
* Cultivate visions, goals, and criteria for the Plan
* Review reports prepared by MPO staff
* Monitor the planning procedure and public outreach process
As an integrated part of the LRTP, this Plan promotes a logical and interconnected bikeway system for the greater Morgantown metropolitan area, with shared values and visions originated from the LRTP. The Bike Plan will be building on the work the Bike Board has already done and is recommended for funding with forecasted available state and federal funds in next two decades.
MPO technical Advisory Committee and Citizen Advisory Committee are to function as advisory committees to the steering committee, providing technical support and citizen feedback.
To extend the scope of the steering committee, MPO is seeking representatives from neighborhoods beyond the Morgantown city limits. Your recommendation will be gratefully received.
Please indicate your willingness to serve on this committee by replying this email or call me at 304-413-0297.
Thank you in advance for considering working with us on this important and exciting effort. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jing Zhang
