Drew,
Sounds good, the virtual meetings work good if there are people who might be out of town, that might be before Harry's hip surgery and Marilyn might be back. I can send out a summary of the new bike friendly app, it is different from the last one with a slightly different slant and the info from the alta and stantec studies should help supply some of the metrics.

Previous members of the bike board,
There's been some discussion about trying to meet over the past few months, and a few items that have come by my desk that would benefit from citizen review. One more came up today, so I'd like to propose either a virtual or a socially distanced outdoor meeting on Wednesday, July 29th from 4:30-5:30pm. Open to other suggestions for time.
On the potential agenda:
1) A comprehensive and holistic assessment of all bike parking facilities along the Riverfront. Objective is to provide assessment to Mon River Revitalization Task Force and suggest desires for consistency or diversity, where to install new ones, where to remove / relocate ones that aren't working, and which to replace with better designs. Goal of assessment is to help task force maximize the ability of cyclists to use Riverfront amenities while minimizing damage to trees and other infrastructure that might come from unplanned bike parking.
2) The People for Bikes city scores / Bicycle Network Analysis: Review of 2020 rating and plan to update open street map with current data to better inform 2021 analysis
3) Expiration of Morgantown's Bronze level BFC award this fall, and decision whether / plan to re-apply.
Thoughts? We could call this a temporary working group if you'd like to not commit to re-starting the bike board. Might help calm the nerves!

I would like to add a possible agenda item. There is some local enthusiasm for sculpture as functioning bike racks. Pittsburgh has a few: https://trustarts.org/pct_home/visual-arts/public-art/bike-racks What should a sculptor/artist know to allow their work to be utilitarian, are there specifications that can be shared.

That is easy. There are already Bicycle Rack Requirements in Planning and Zoning Code [1] for long-term and short term bicycle storage spaces on physical page 250 - 252, which provides these specifications.

Discussing artistic approaches to bike racks is a fine agenda item; we recently approved the installation of three artistic racks at the new Mills Group office. However, we did not approve them as racks - we approved them as public art. They don't function very well as racks, but they are passable.
RE: the P&Z code - that only applies to significant developments. The city does not have a specific adopted standard for bicycle racks. ________________________________ From: Jonathan Rosenbaum jr@wvcompletestreets.org Sent: Monday, July 20, 2020 10:29 PM To: Bill Kawecki wm_a_kawecki@comcast.net Cc: Bike Board bikeboard@bikemorgantown.com Subject: [Bikeboard] Re: Potential Meeting: Next Wednesday, July 29th, 2020

I’m hearing minimal feedback about the meeting, but am still willing to host. I may broadcast it to a larger group. Any objections to the time and date from you all?
Another (similar) item to add to agenda: bike parking at Hazel Ruby McQuain.

That article seemed pretty complete without being overly wordy. For extra credit, I would consider if a bicycle trailer will fit in the space. I trailer both a baby and sometimes groceries, and most racks I have to unhook the trailer and put it beside the bike, or it sticks out into the sidewalk. It's also really annoying when there's a curb surrounding the rack, especially with a trailer.
I think the coating of the rack also adds to its inviting nature, For example not looking like it'll scuff/scratch my frame. I don't know how to define it, but I think to meet this as well as minimum maintenance, polished metal is better than paint. I do not know how enamel or a plastic coating fares in 5-10years.
Another feature I look for is a rack that's placed within view of a security camera.
I have seen some really effective and artistic racks, like a comb in front of a barber shop. And I've seen some nice looking racks that function very poorly, blocking traffic when used, or just don't hold bikes well.

Maybe those bicycle rack sculpture enthusiasts would want to become members of the Bicycle Board if City Council invited them.
Did you know that the City owns two 2-bike bicycle lockers? I don’t know whatever became of them or if they were ever used. They might be a good complement to the kayak lockers if appropriately located, clearly marked and easily accessed.

Sounds good, the virtual meetings work good if there are people who might be out of town, that might be before Harry's hip surgery and Marilyn might be back. I can send out a summary of the new bike friendly app, it is different from the last one with a slightly different slant and the info from the alta and stantec studies should help supply some of the metrics.

P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;} Previous members of the bike board,
There's been some discussion about trying to meet over the past few months, and a few items that have come by my desk that would benefit from citizen review. One more came up today, so I'd like to propose either a virtual or a socially distanced outdoor meeting on Wednesday, July 29th from 4:30-5:30pm. Open to other suggestions for time.
On the potential agenda:
- A comprehensive and holistic assessment of all bike parking facilities along the Riverfront. Objective is to provide assessment to Mon River Revitalization Task Force and suggest desires for consistency or diversity, where to install new ones, where to remove / relocate ones that aren't working, and which to replace with better designs. Goal of assessment is to help task force maximize the ability of cyclists to use Riverfront amenities while minimizing damage to trees and other infrastructure that might come from unplanned bike parking.
- The People for Bikes city scores / Bicycle Network Analysis: Review of 2020 rating and plan to update open street map with current data to better inform 2021 analysis
- Expiration of Morgantown's Bronze level BFC award this fall, and decision whether / plan to re-apply.
Thoughts? We could call this a temporary working group if you'd like to not commit to re-starting the bike board. Might help calm the nerves!

All,
As I mentioned last week, I will host a bike board virtual meeting tomorrow from 4:30pm - 5:30pm using the following Zoom videoconference details:
Drew Gatlin is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Topic: Drew Gatlin's Personal Meeting Room
Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/8286021906?pwd=cDc4QVNIQVhSSXppQ3hVcmVISHNSUT09
Meeting ID: 828 602 1906 Passcode: 4vkd25
We'll need to re-start the meeting halfway through due to the limited time available, but I'll walk y'all through it as we get to that point.
If you can't join because of lack of access to a computer, let me know and I'll find out some workaround.
Agenda will be as discussed earlier in this chain, including artistic bike racks.
Best, Drew

Sounds good, the virtual meetings work good if there are people who might be out of town, that might be before Harry's hip surgery and Marilyn might be back. I can send out a summary of the new bike friendly app, it is different from the last one with a slightly different slant and the info from the alta and stantec studies should help supply some of the metrics.

Previous members of the bike board,
There's been some discussion about trying to meet over the past few months, and a few items that have come by my desk that would benefit from citizen review. One more came up today, so I'd like to propose either a virtual or a socially distanced outdoor meeting on Wednesday, July 29th from 4:30-5:30pm. Open to other suggestions for time.
On the potential agenda:
1) A comprehensive and holistic assessment of all bike parking facilities along the Riverfront. Objective is to provide assessment to Mon River Revitalization Task Force and suggest desires for consistency or diversity, where to install new ones, where to remove / relocate ones that aren't working, and which to replace with better designs. Goal of assessment is to help task force maximize the ability of cyclists to use Riverfront amenities while minimizing damage to trees and other infrastructure that might come from unplanned bike parking.
2) The People for Bikes city scores / Bicycle Network Analysis: Review of 2020 rating and plan to update open street map with current data to better inform 2021 analysis
3) Expiration of Morgantown's Bronze level BFC award this fall, and decision whether / plan to re-apply.
Thoughts? We could call this a temporary working group if you'd like to not commit to re-starting the bike board. Might help calm the nerves!

The racks look cool. In my opinion, though, I would not design them to sandwich a front tire. I would make a single upright of thick gauge metal and move it out from the wall to contact the side of the bike. Its basically a stylish inverted U rack. . If they were evenly spaced in that 17'10 gap ~(3',6',6',3' spacing), you could easily park 6 bikes in there, 2 per rack.
This would meet the requirements in the document Jonathan shared, as well, it allows 2 bikes to be locked to each rack. It's also more supportive. If I were to park my bike at one of these racks as designed, I would use my rear tire for more stability.

All,
I've attached some reference materials for the various agenda items for your review. I suggest the following order of priority for the various PFB docs: Ratings, BNA-email, Snapshot-email, BNA-Morgantown https://bna.peopleforbikes.org/?fbclid=IwAR09q3wH3dpxEIH3UUHf2ldD0ykUEISfXqJUeXljQ4A28YM0p8Tf3VPs29o#/places/4c07a176-0174-402a-89ca-5da5182f9499/ and then finally the PFB-Snapshot application.
I'll try to get a copy of the Mills Group artistic bike rack designs before our meeting.
Best,
Drew

I would like to add a possible agenda item. There is some local enthusiasm for sculpture as functioning bike racks. Pittsburgh has a few: https://trustarts.org/pct_home/visual-arts/public-art/bike-racks What should a sculptor/artist know to allow their work to be utilitarian, are there specifications that can be shared.
Thanks,
