If you take a look at http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/2006standards/regs.htm Monongalia county has been given a final designation as a PM 2.5 non-attainment area by the EPA on December 22, 2008. This is significant news because it means that our State and local government is now required by the Clean Air Act to develop a plan to mitigate the situation. This could include increased emphasis on bicycling, walking and transit solutions to reduce automobile related air pollution.

Some of the stuff that guy writes scares me. I was relieved to read:
"Obviously we don't want blood on our hands here, so the projects would not include funding for painting "bike lanes" on the sides of city streets. If a street is wide enough to allow a bike lane, it is safer for the cyclist to allocate all of that width to the rightmost lane, and post "share the road", and "caution for bikes merging left" signs at appropriate intervals."
