Budget
by Frank Gmeindl 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

The City's budget for 2015/2016 includes the following for bicycling: $22,500 for the Mon Blvd. Bicycle Climbing Lane $ 5,000 for Shared Lane Markings (Sharrows) and Bicycles May Use Full Lane (R4-11) signs $ 8,200 for training bicycling instructors and delivering bicycling classes (the Allstate grant) We can probably only do something significant with the $5,000 for Sharrows and BMUFL signs if we use it as the City cost share in a grant application. We will need to help the City to find appropriate grants for which to apply and to write the applications. Concerning the Allstate $8,200, we currently have one candidate committed to become an instructor. We need 2 more and then the instructors need to arrange and deliver the courses. WVU CPASS has been open to hosting the courses. Thoughts? Frank D.

Jing & Bill, I just spoke with Debbie Pickford at Allstate. She authorized using $1,000 of the $8,200 that Allstate already gave the City and will contribute an additional $1,000 to fully fund production of the insert. She also provided Allstate's logo to be put in the sponsor space on the insert. Can we get it printed and inserted into the MUB bills as we originally planned April - May? Debbie would like a finished copy of the insert. When can we get it to her?

Fwd: RTC Sojourn- Morgantown- April 24-26
by Bill 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

FYI, Ella is working on a rails to trails cycling event (still in the planning stage). I don't know if the board would have any interest or want some involvement. Just checking in again around the rails-to-trails conservancy’s sojourn event and want to include in packets for cyclists: other things to do in Morgantown in the evenings- music, theater, MET event, etc. starting Thursday April 23- Sunday April 26. The cyclists will be on their own for dinners and entertainment after the day rides. Again, we are hoping for about 100 cyclists. Please let me know if you have some great activities on those days. Also- wanted to approach trail restaurants about offering a “voucher” -free appetizer, beer, etc. to drive some business to Table 9, Oliverios, Lebanese Bistro, WV State Brewing Company in Wharf. And maybe add on Sargasso, Morgantown Brewing Company, Terra Cafe, Antonio’s Italian Chophouse for trail side eating. Or open it up to all of downtown restaurants as well? I would like to prep restaurants some that cyclists are coming to town and are likely going to be return visitors and ambassadors. I am willing to reach out on this unless you prefer it coming from someone else. What do you think? Feel free to call me, Ella Ella Belling Executive Director Mon River Trails Conservancy P.O. Box 282 Morgantown, WV 26507 www.montrails.org 304-692-6782 -- Melissa Burch BOPARC Executive Director P.O.
