Greg, Jonathan, Jenny, Jake,
I need to provide Damien Davis a map or maps that show the Campus Connector and the property lines under and adjacent to it. Can someone provide those to me in a format that I can send to Damien?
At tonight's Traffic Commission meeting, the TC accepted our letter and passed a motion to request the City Manager to investigate and identify property ownership within the general alignment of the Connector.
After I read the letter, Ken Martis said that the county property maps show who owns what property under and adjacent to the Campus Connector. Have any of you checked the property maps? He also said that the Planning Commission is pursuing the Campus Connector. He said that he thinks there is a right of way that can be used that avoids the property of any resistant owners (Saab). Ken is the Planning Commission representative on the TC and is a renowned WVU geography professor so he should know.
In anticipation that the City Manager will assign the task to the Engineering Department, I agreed to give Damien Davis whatever information we already have on the Campus Connector planned route and property ownership boundaries.

Frank, I have one color copy left and several b/w copies of a Campus Connector map produced by the MPO for WVU that shows the existing trail, one potential route, and the tax parcels. This map was given to us (interesting story) by Robert Moyer, WVU Director of Facilities Planning, so he should have an electronic copy available or Chet Parsons should be able to dig one up. I'll bring my hard copies to today's meeting 18 hours from now, but it would be favorable if we could locate the electronic copy.

I will be unable to attend tonight's meeting but I wanted to contribute to this message. Alas, I am no longer an employee of the MPO and don't have access to the resources over there. Jonathan, if you can get a copy of the map scanned in or even photocopied, I am sure either Derek or I can replicate it in GIS. The MPO only has the financial resources to use publicly available data, so it shouldn't be a problem to find the same information.

I may be able to attend after all. Gametime decision, so to speak......

Jonathan,
Please bring a paper copy to the BB meeting tonight. B&W is OK. If you bring the color, I'll get it copied and return it to you. The B&W may be sufficient for Damien's needs.
I will also give a copy to Bill Austin and see if he can get the electronic file. Bill is the current MPO Director.
*Jonathan, Chet, thanks for the prompt response!*

Frank and all, I think Jenny has the best map that's been made so far and she has ground-proofed it as well as one can. Ken Martis is definitely an ally and knows his way around. But I'm pretty sure there is not a right-of-way the whole way through. The city has tried sporadically to list ROW'S and more importantly the official abandonment of ROWs. But I don't think the latter effort is totally up to date or systematically recorded. I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

Jenny,
Can you bring to the Bicycle Board meeting tonight, the map to which Greg refers?
