Hi all,
Here's a draft community profile for the LAB's website. Also, here's a link to Pittsburgh's profile as an example. Most profiles I viewed had 200-300 ish words, so I tried to stay with that. The stats under the profile paragraph are also listed on each city's page, so I took Morgantown's numbers directly from the LAB application.
http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/communities/bfc_pi...
A few things to consider:
1) Can someone tell me how many people we've graduated through the cycling course?
2) Things I don't mention, but you can give feedback if you think they're critical to add-- bike racks on front of buses, complete streets policy
3) Some community profiles have an extra little section entitled "Most significant bicycle-related statistic" while others had one that read "Recent Accomplishments." Anyone have anything they want to draw particular attention to as a separate paragraph?
4) Anything else? Let me know.
Draft press release coming soon.
Thanks!
Traci
Traci,
Thank you for so promptly and expertly drafting the BFC press release. 101 people have completed Confident City Cycling classes. I have a few other comments/changes to recommend but I'd like to see the Board's response first.

I'm still a contributing member right? Anyhow, I made some minor grammar changes and a couple wording changes, feel free to ignore any or all since I ditched you all.

Ryan,
Thanks for observing that an "E" is missing: "Equity":
Cyclists have the same right to fair and equitable treatment by the government as other road users. Cyclists have a right to equal legal status and equal treatment in traffic law. Morgantown traffic laws and regulations must be fair, equitable and “vehicle-neutral” to the greatest extent possible. Cyclists’ access to all destinations must be protected. Laws that discriminate against cyclists, or restrict their right to travel, or reduce their relative safety, should be repealed[1].
[1] Patterned after the League of American Bicyclists Equity statement: http://www.bikeleague.org/images/equity_statement_1-05-09.pdf
There are 6 E's: Education, Enforcement, Engineering (Infrastructure), Encouragement, Evaluation, Equity
