Hi Jim,
This bicycle climbing lane (read below) will have an important influence for people living in Sunnyside. The BB chair is looking for volunteers to provide labor to paint lines. Would it be possible to organize some WVU volunteers from Sunnyside Up to help with this project?

Bicycle Board Members,
We recently cleared all the hurdles to get WVDOH to approve the bicycle climbing lane on Mon Blvd when WVU formally agreed with removing parking from the shoulder there. Meanwhile, the engineering department re-estimated the cost of the bike lane at $20,000. The original estimate about a year ago was $10K. Then it climbed to $13K about 6 months ago for new City labor rates and now it's up to $20K because they now prefer to contract it out.
I met with Dan Boroff last Friday to check on the status. He told me that the bike lane is a good project but the City can't afford it this year. City business and occupation taxes have been lower than expected during the first quarter of the 2010 impacting the City budgets. The project will need to be approved by City Council as a project with Capital Escrow funds at a future time (possibly next spring).
I'm just guessing that $10-15K of the project estimate is labor. How many of you would be willing and able to spend 2 days installing the bike lane if the City provided the paint, equipment and 1 knowledgeable supervisor? If we can raise sufficient volunteer labor, I'll ask the City Manager if we can negotiate.

Jonathan,
Thanks! And, pass our thanks on the Jim. I wonder how many volunteers he thinks he could raise? The reason I wonder is that I'd like to give a list of names to the City Manager as a show of commitment.
BTW, in addition to paint lines, we may get to make stencils, dig holes for sign posts, install posts, pour concrete, install signs and of course sweep and shovel:)
BTW2, Jonathan, should I put your name on the list, too?

Before this gets much larger...
Are you thinking during the week (when the supervisor would be available and around) or on the w/e? For Betsy and I it might not matter so much, for the others it may.

Frank,
I don't think he will have any names until a date is set. However, Sunnyside Up has garnered many volunteers in the past for other well documented projects, so just mentioning their intent on the list of names will be of significance.
Volunteerism involving physical labor is always my favorite because of the immediate feedback and the camaraderie. Right now I can't promise anything because it depends on how far out in the future the event will be, but you may add my name to the list if it helps. :)
