Mapping questions again...
by Derek Springston 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hey Steve... Refresh my memory again. You said that you didn't have any maps or specs for what we'll need to put on the Shared Lane Marking map for the bid package. You said that Frank Gmeindl should have a few maps that may be initial drafts/ideas on where we're headed with the SLM mapping? If you do know about any of the formatting, scale, resolution, methods that we should use for this map, let me know. Frank said he'd get me in touch with some of the city folks to see if they know what I'll need to get them. Otherwise, I'm going to start mapping, use my best judgement, and ask questions as we go since I haven't really gotten a clear answer on what we'll need. If anyone knows of the specifications for the SLM's we're going to be using that would help me to map these out, let me know. ~Derek Springston _________________________________________________________________ The other season of giving begins 6/24/08.

Nick, I will be unable to join or assist you but want to express my appreciation for the good you are doing on behalf of biking and humanity. You are a seriously committed resource. We are fortunate to have you, Frank, Betsy, Gunnar, Greg, etc in our community. Be well. Bill WV Walks - 30 minutes or more daily Feel the power of half an hour!

I'll be received by city officials, and in the past that's included DC Bike Coordinator Jim Sebastian (whom I've met on this ride 2 previous years). It may be possible for me to arrange a tour of their bikeshare system which is just coming online this month. Would any of the bike board members be interested in coming up that day to join me for a tour if I can arrange it? Note that this is tentative right now. I should also explain that I have a selfish motive here - I'll be biking all the way from Morgantown and I'm looking to bum a ride back. I'll be happy to pay my share for gas and expenses. Thanks.

New sign on Star City Bridge
by Frank Gmeindl 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Bicycle Board Members, There's a new sign at the end of the Star City Bridge coming into Morgantown at the intersection where the CVS is, Boyers Avenue. It is a diamond shaped sign with a symbol of a bicycle in it and below the diamond sign is a left arrow. Does anybody know how that sign got there, who put it there and why it's there? I suppose some well-intentioned official thinks it's a sign directing cyclists to the rail trail but I think it says all bicycles must turn left. Frank

Bike Parking Vendor Literature
by director 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Good evening, I just received a comprehensive notebook from Dero Co. (Minneapolis, MN) showing their bike storage products. Everything from lockposts to shelters with trays, hanging racks, custom sculptures in between. I would have brought it to the July meeting but I'll plan on it for the August mtg. Not sure if this warrants time on the agenda. In the meantime it will be at the Positive Spin office for anyone who want to see it. You can also see their online info at http://www.dero.com/ These are the commercial racks... http://www.dero.com/commercial_racks.html Nick Hein -- Nick Hein Director, Positive Spin Morgantown, WV ph 304-276-0213 --

Frank, Sorry to hear that you did not receive adequate support for the July 3 or July 10 meet. Summers are a bad time in that folks are running in many different directions.

For your reading enjoyment

Good afternoon, Saw this article on a site I read regularly. I know this article preaches to the choir, but I thought I'd pass it along anyway. Many of the points in the article are from news stories reported in the last week.

GIS resources / contacts
by Derek Springston 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hey guys.. As I've stated before, I am interested in helping with GIS mapping and analysis for the Bike Board, but it seems like there are several of us who are interested or have already been mapping. I think it would be great for us GIS folks to get together and figure out where we are with mapping and who has what. I would like to start making contacts on who is willing to help with GIS mapping. Maybe this would be more appropriately brought up at the next meeting? See you guys next month. ~Derek Springston _________________________________________________________________ It’s easy to add contacts from Facebook and other social sites through Windows Live™ Messenger.
