BFC parking inspiration
by Frank Gmeindl via Bikeboard 28 Jan '17

28 Jan '17

I took the attached picture today in Pittsburgh’s Strip District on 21st St. between Liberty and Penn Avenues. I think it’s cool that they have a kiosk for paying for car parking and an inverted-U bicycle rack at each location that you’d expect a parking meter:) Now there’s a Bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community! And, yes, that’s a share bike station on the next block. Frank

I apparently did not send this out to the full group. Sorry about that! Anyway, Krista has completed the attached press release with information related to the award and current programming and projects. We could include a reference to the 2012 award, the links to the Feedback Report, Feedback Report Guide, and the Public Survey Results and the website links for additional plans.

23 Jan '17

Hello all, January meeting minutes are attached. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions or revisions. As you can see, we didn't do a good job with setting due dates for our new action items. We will try to leave more time at the end of next meeting to do this. Meeting highlights included: Volunteer roles for Bike Board members - this is a new idea we discussed to help involve more people. See the attached sheet and feel free to respond with your input. Are you interested in a role? Have an idea that's not listed? Send your thoughts to me and/or the Board! Possible bike share in Morgantown - Zagster has been in discussion with Morgantown about the possibility of a bike share. For more information on Zagster: http://www.zagster.com/ <http://www.zagster.com/> *Reminder: our February meeting will be Thursday, February 2 at 6:30pm* I believe Drew has booked the conference room for us again, so be prepared to sit in a fancy chair! Thanks, Christina

Bicycle Storage Spaces and rack spatial requirements
by John Whitmore via Bikeboard 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Good afternoon, The Development Department has been working with developers to provide for bicycle storage spaces for their respective development projects. Recently a proposal for a short-term bicycle rack was reviewed that would not have been acceptable for the current ordinance. The issue involved the location of the bicycle rack in relationship to a wall. The ordinance language provides that racks may be placed near walls, but presents an obstacle for their inclusion on smaller sites. In particular the requirement utilizes the storage space as the demarcation point, as opposed to the physical rack. The result is a minimum 7 foot cleared physical area must be provided for racks near walls (3 feet for the storage space width, and an additional 4 feet for clearance). The Development Director and I are concerned that this may limit some sites from providing racks that are truly functional. In this particular case, the site is seeking a LEED standard that includes alternative transportation goals that seek a specific number of bicycle racks. Facilitating businesses to provide racks that work as the ordinance intends would be a positive. There were other issues, and we believe that this specific instance has been corrected, but there could be problems in the future. After looking at the ordinance, I have traced some edits that would provide for bicycle storage on outdoor racks with a tweak to the impacts of the required spatial dimensions. I also updated the ordinance to allow for racks attached to walls, which may not have been possible with the old language, although I recall that being an item of discussion. The new text is underlined, the text to be removed has a strikethrough. If you could look this over (it is only three pages) and provide me with some insight it would be greatly appreciated. These edits would be rather easy to implement, as compared to last year's text edits. We are looking to have a solution enacted in the ordinance by the end of Spring. If this is something that shouldn't be changed, please let me know, so we can begin looking at other alternatives or provide better guidance to developers. Thank you, John Whitmore, AICP Planner III [City of Morgantown, WV official website] City of Morgantown, West Virginia 389 Spruce Street Morgantown, WV 26505 E: jwhitmore(a)morgantownwv.gov<mailto:jwhitmore@morgantownwv.gov> P: 304-284-7431 www.morgantownwv.gov

Hello Board, Sorry for all the emails. Please fill out your availability <http://doodle.com/poll/k8if4ncc3b5u832p> for a meeting next week, there's only three options, all 6:30-8:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Frank has informed me that he never once received a quorum when rescheduling a meeting on a different day than the first Thursday in his entire tenure as chair. Sounds like a challenge to me! Let's beat the trend. Based on our conference call, I have updated the agenda as attached. Thanks all for your patience and diligence, Drew

You're Invited, Saturday 4:00-5:30pm: Meet & Greet the City Manager Candidates
by Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 05 Jan '17

Hello Board! Very important changes are happening in our City that concern you as a citizen as well as a bike board member. We're interviewing candidates for our new city manager! Meet the candidates this Saturday from 4:00-5:30pm at the Waterfront Place Hotel (Morgantown Event Center). I'm requesting at least 5 bike board members show up to chat with these folks, inform them that our town is dedicated to cycling and is WV’s only bicycle friendly community, and to ask these candidates what their experiences with cycling are around their communities. Also you can ask them other questions, y'know, about non bike-related issues. If you can attend, please reply all to this letter telling us such and also with any question(s) you're prepared to ask. Thanks! Drew

Hello all, Please find the attached agenda for Thursday's meeting. Regarding the new location, it's not very different: rather than the training room, we will meet in the conference room just down the hall. It's much more comfortable in there. As always, bring your thinking caps. Best, Drew

Bicycle Board: City Webpage Updates and Press Release Information
by Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Krista, Thanks so much for your help on these issues! Attached you'll find a list of recent bicycle-related happenings in Morgantown for inclusion in a press release. Also, anticipating increased web traffic due to press coverage, I've attached a document that lists updates we'd like to see made to our bicycle board web page on the city's website. Regarding these updates, don't hesitate to ask for more clarification -- although I have attempted to provide some context, I know these projects can seem a bit arcane. If you could reply to Bridget O'Meara (our media coordinator), Christina Hunt (our secretary), and me with questions, we're all happy to help. Board, I have copied you all in the interest of transparency. Please advise if you have any concerns or questions regarding the two attached documents. Best, Drew

Bicycle Board: Winter 2016 Project Prioritization
by Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Damien, Alex, all, As the city plans its next few years' transportation projects (paving / reconstruction / improvements) the bicycle board asks that you refer to the following priority list for consideration in your projects: 1) Implement the shared lane markings / signage and bus shelters TAP grant 2) Stripe and sign the Mon Boulevard climbing lane 3) Implement the WV705 shared-use path TAP grant 4) Obtain and implement the White Park / Rail-Trail connector TAP grant 5) Design, fund, and build the Campus Connector 6) Design, fund, and build a University Avenue Bypass (with strong consideration for the Jones Avenue project) 7) Accommodate cycling infrastructure in the proposed Greenbag Road improvements (with bike lanes preferred) 8) Design, fund, and build a connector from the 705 shared-use path to the Falling Run greenspace trails (with preference for widening the livestock tunnel) 9) Build the Lower Greenmont Pedestrian Bridge Many of these projects are listed in the MMMPO's 2014 Regional Bicycle Plan <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8UM6dsVoQTIZ3JEX2oyOUoyVjg> on a road-by-road basis. That plan's Appendix E <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8UM6dsVoQTISE1Nekg4SHQyeDA> lists some 120 projects in our area and should also be referenced when developing the 5-year schedule. Currently the projects listed in that Appendix are grouped into corridors -- which is helpful for visualization on a system basis but might be limited on a strategic standpoint. I'm wondering if it would be useful to group the projects based on their municipal or county authority, e.g. projects which fall under Morgantown's jurisdiction, Star City, Granville, etc? The bike board envisions a 2-3 year maximum timeline for most of the projects listed above, so Damien and Alex, as you draft your 5 year plans, please keep us in the loop so that we may suggest projects for the corridors later down the line. Best, Drew

December Meeting Minutes
by Christina Hunt via Bikeboard 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Hi everyone, Please take a look at the attached draft minutes and let me know if you have any changes. I have also attached the information John Whitmore presented to us at December's meeting about the first proposed development of significant impact to be affected by our bicycle storage ordinance - take a look! Although there is a picture of hanging racks, the developers are not planning to use that kind of system because it does not meet the square foot per bike requirements outlined in the ordinance. Thanks, Christina

View Email In Browser New Self-Serve Bike Locker Rental Through Smartphone App With millions of bikes stolen every year, many bicycle riders prefer the higher level of security available with bike lockers. Many train stations, office buildings and community centers have lockers available to the public. And now riders have access to a new smartphone app that will allow them to find available lockers, reserve, pay for, and use the lockers without contacting administrative staff. This convenience makes it easier than ever for bicycle riders to find and use covered, locked storage units. Most bike locker systems utilize a key management program that requires an administrator to manage and replace keys, an obstacle for the cyclist and burden for management. Now CycleSafe has added an element of convenience to bike locker rental through a custom app for reservation and payment. For cyclists, it is much easier to reserve and pay for a locker via a smartphone with a membership credit card account. Phones are convenient and simple to use, providing 24 hour service. For the property managers who have to keep track of reservations, payments and keys, this is also a great approach, as a self-service benefit that does not require staffing," says Richard Hartger, President and CEO of CycleSafe. With the app, riders can view a map of available bike lockers, choose a locker, and pay for rental through their smartphone. An important feature of this new system is that it can be retrofitted to existing lockers. Now property managers, city officials and others can choose to implement the app-based rental and payment system to extend the use of their existing investment in bike lockers.

BFC Bronze Award
by John Whitmore via Bikeboard 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

I received this in the mail today, so I guess it is official. The City of Morgantown is a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community. The physical award (piece of paper) is with the City Manager's Office for framing. We could ask to have the Communications Director put something out. I know Mr. Kelly was excited about a photo-op with signage, but signage has a cost: https://bikeleague.secure.force.com/storepage?cat=BFC Thanks!

Bike Shelter news
by David Bruffy via Bikeboard 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Hello everyone, I have some good new to share. Mountain Line was just awarded additional funding by the WV Division of Public Transit for the purpose of installing co-located bike shelters and transit shelters based on the Bike Board's previously developed plan. In coordination with the funding available for co-location shelters in the City, these funds will allow for additional sites (perhaps outside the City of Morgantown). I would anticipate we can begin working on these locations in the spring of 2017. I'll share more information with you as we move ahead and I look forward to working with you to get input on the locations, facility needs and related concerns. Thank you, David Bruffy, CCTM General Manager Mountain Line Transit Authority 420 DuPont Road Morgantown, WV 26501 Bruffy(a)busride.org WWW.BUSRIDE.ORG www.Twitter.com/MountainLine www.Facebook.com/MountainLine http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dave-bruffy/10/137/488 (304) 296-3680 Office (304) 291-7433 Route Information (304) 291-7429 FAX

The meeting starts at 7pm in the council chambers, and the public comment period is the 6th item on the agenda (usually within the first 20 minutes).

Bike Morgantown map route suggestions/edits
by Christina Hunt via Bikeboard 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Hi all, WVU doesn't play until 7pm tomorrow, meaning you have all kinds of time to review your map/route suggestions and get them back to me! Please try to get them back to me as soon as you can. A Word document is my first choice for format. One person has already sent them back to me, so the early bird prize is gone, but don't let that stop you! In case you were not able to attend our meeting last night, here are some of the things we reviewed. Take a look at the links and feel free to send any route suggestions/edits and/or review bike rack locations and add your own. *Bike Morgantown map* Here is the expanded map version, to refresh your memory: Bike Morgantown map <https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1eUDfm--ocNdhGWkpwq4F2JRfJLM&l…> Or go to http://bikemorgantown.com/route_map.php and click the box in the upper right corner ("view larger map"). *Rackspotter * Powered by Bike Arlington, but they're comfortable with us using it to mark bike rack locations in Morgantown. To use this, you will have to make a free account. If you're using this on a computer, you'll have to scroll over on the map (from Arlington) to Morgantown. Caution: we can't delete racks! So only add them if you're certain they are there. http://rackspotter.com/ <http://rackspotter.com/> *Transportation Camp* Jonathan R., I think this is the "un-conference" you mentioned. http://transportationcamp.org/events/pgh-2016/ Thanks and have a great weekend! Christina

If you have a better idea (somewhere in city limits) please share here! Either reply all or just reply to me. Thanks for your time, Drew

Re: [Bikeboard] BFC sign
by Frank Gmeindl via Bikeboard 05 Dec '16

Drew, Here are the latitude and longitude of each Bicycle Friendly Community sign location that the Bicycle Board recommended to Damien in 2012. 1. N39° 39.069' W79° 58.891' 2. N39° 36.605' W79° 58.165' 3. N39° 37.800' W79° 57.544' 4. N39° 37.483' W79° 56.770' 5. N39° 36.668' W79° 56.996' 6. N39° 38.342' W79° 56.217' 7. N39° 38.810' W79° 56.066' 8. N39° 38.521' W79° 57.018' 9. N39° 39.588' W79° 57.804' 10. N39° 39.370' W79° 58.601' Here’s a link to a Google map showing the locations: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kIiLfe1xhMrYTemk5EK0K4IQVIk&usp=sharing I believe all but 3 have been installed at approximately the above locations except the following 3: #4. N39° 37.483' W79° 56.770’ on East Brockway Avenue. Damien said that Fouad didn’t want to put it there because it’s on private property. We recommended that Fouad say where he’d like to put it near there. We received no response. #6. N39° 38.342' W79° 56.217’ on Willey St. I think that one didn’t get installed because at the time, a new apartment complex, City Gardens Apartments was being developed near there and Fouad wanted to wait and see. Now, the apartments have been there for a few years and the recommended site still looks good to me. What does the BB think? #7. N39° 38.810' W79° 56.066’ on 705 between Chestnut Ridge Rd. and the Roundabout. Again, I think the roundabout was in process back then and Fouad again wanted to wait and see. Again, now the roundabout’s been there for a few years and the recommended location for the BFC sign still looks good to me. What does the BB think? In case you can’t open the Google map, I’ve attached a screen shot of it. Frank > On Dec 4, 2016, at 11:41 AM, J.D.

Given the traffic that will eventually see the sign, it could have a significant impact on motorists’ awareness of bicycles. I suppose since that might be Granville property, they’d have to agree. > > Frank<IMG_2999.JPG> > > > > -- > J.D.

Hi all, here are the suggestions collected from November's mapping meeting. Please take a look - Jonathan Nellis is going to start making these changes in about a week.
