B is our logo

20 Feb '10

Bicycle Board Members, Thank you for your prompt votes for the logo. As of 10 am Saturday morning, we have a conclusive majority of votes for B. We will proceed with it. Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles From: Frank Gmeindl [mailto:frank.gmeindl@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 9:56 AM To: 'Morgantown Bike Board' Subject: URGENT: Please Reply Now! Please reply: A or B. Attached are two files: A and B. They show two logos. Please reply and say which one you favor. Thanks to Aira, Chip, Eleonore Jones and Gary Rodosta for working so diligently to make a logo. We've arrived at two and need to decide on one. The key difference between the logos is the representation of the bicyclist but the font style and other graphics including the "M", the skyline, the shading, etc. are all factors that we've considered. Please reply just to me. I will tally the vote. If there's a tie, I will select by flipping a coin. Keep in mind that the logo will be used on anything we produce from as big as billboards to as small as correspondence documents and in media including web site, facebook, twitter, billboards and paper. Voting will be open until next Thursday. Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

Bicycle Board Members, For those of you that have not completed the Traffic Skills 101 course, if you want to complete the on-line course at http://www.bikeed.org and then do the hands on part at the Coliseum and on local roads, I will schedule the Coliseum for Saturday, February 13, 2010 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. We will meet at the Coliseum Room 252, learn and practice crash avoidance maneuvers in the parking lot and then practice traffic skills in. traffic! Please reply ASAP. If another date would suit you better, let me know. Also, I'm conducting the full live course here in Morgantown Sat. 2/27 8:30 am - 4:30 pm and Sun. 2/28 8:30 am - Noon and you're welcome to participate. I currently have 4 likely participants so have room for up to 2 more. This should be an interesting class because at least 3 of the participants are taking the course so they can then attend the League Cycling Instructor (LCI) seminar to become LCIs. That means they'll probably bring much knowledge with them to share. They're from Parkersburg, Wheeling and Erie.

FW: MPO Conference Bike Ride
by Frank Gmeindl 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Bicycle Board Members, Anyone interested in leading a ride for the participants of the Statewide MPO conference in September? There are 7 MPOs in the state. They make the transportation plans for the state's metropolitan areas. Getting them focused on cycling could have an impact across the state. Their home base is the Hotel Morgan. County parks listed at http://www.boparc.org/parksfacilities/index.php that might be worth considering include: Krepps Park White Park Marilla Park Whitemoore Park and Trails King Street Park Jack Roberts Park Hazel Ruby-McQuain Riverfront Park South University Avenue Park Jerome Park Caperton Trail Deckers Creek Trail MEA Fishing Pier Mylan Park at Chaplin Hill Dorsey's Knob Park featuring Sky Rock White Park Trails Beer?

The ride should take place the evening of either Tuesday 9/21 or Wednesday 9/23. My initial thought is that maybe we could have a ride to the MPO Conference picnic tentatively scheduled the evening of the 23rd. I have not selected a site for the picnic but I thought that a county park would be appropriate-if they allow beer. Please let me know your thoughts particularly on the potential location.

Press Release: Investing in Biking and Walking Could Save Lives Says Report
by director 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Good afternoon, I just received notice about the new 2010 biking/walking benchmarking report. It will have data that might help support the forum presentation tonite. In particular it notes that: (Jeff Miller) says, "our data show that increasing investment in biking and walking could lead to more people biking and walking. The more people bike and walk, the safer it is and the healthier the community. It's a virtuous cycle." Report: http://www.peoplepoweredmovement.org/site/index.php/site/memberservices/C529 Highlight sheet: http://www.peoplepoweredmovement.org/site/images/uploads/2010_Benchmarking_… Hope this helps.

Frank, As you requested, here is a copy of the latest Bike Route Map with no aerials. When I took the aerials out, the file shrinks from 53MB to 1.2MB! I've copied everyone else on this map. Frank is planning on riding the routes we've chosen to field verify them and compile areas that may be steep, have a preferred direction, one-way streets, areas with gravel, poor road conditions, etc. Please, if you have time, print this out and do the same. When I receive enough feedback or we ride all of the routes, we'll schedule a meeting to compile our additions. Again, if you need a printed copy of this map, let me know. I can print a few at work, but not too many. Frank, Jim Rye, Will Ravenscroft, Hugh Kierig may also be able to help with printing.

Sidewalks
by Frank Gmeindl 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Bicycle Board Members, Please see attached flyer. Go to the Public Forum January 28, 6:30-8:30 PM at South Middle School. The Pedestrian Safety Board has been working on improving the pedestrian infrastructure for Morgantown. They developed a Pedestrian Safety Plan, which focuses on improving the walkability of Morgantown. Copies of the draft plan are available at the bottom of the following link: http://www.morgantown.com/ped-safety-board.htm . The more we move people out of their individual cars and on to the sidewalks, bicycles, PRT, and busses, the safer and healthier will be our city and its residents. We need resources to make that happen. They have asked the Morgantown City Council to pass a Walkway, Walkway Lighting, and Traffic Calming Fee, which will be $1 annually per frontage foot of their property. Thus, if one has a lot that is 50 feet wide, they will pay $50 annually. These monies will amount to approximately $1,000,000 annually for sidewalks, lighting, and traffic calming. Their projections are that they need $32 million to address existing problems. The Morgantown City Council will probably vote on this fee in their February meeting. Generally, they are receptive to the issues and the fee, but the Pedestrian Safety Board needs support at the January 28 meeting to demonstrate to City Council that the Pedestrian Safety Plan has support. Bill Reger-Nash has four requests: 1) He would ask that you encourage others to attend the Public Hearing at South Middle School at 6:30 pm on January 28 2) Please sign the petition supporting the fee, which can be found at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mgwpedplan/ 3) Contact city council members asking them to support the Walkway, Walkway Lighting, and Traffic Calming Fee. Ideally they should be contacted prior to January 28.

I don't know if this will encourage or discourage you to attend the Charlottesville seminar but I will be an assistant coach there. We could carpool.

Bike Route Map (1-7-10) input
by guitardeek＠hotmail.com 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hey guys, I've attached a link to a 4shared.com site where the latest Bike Route Map from January 7th is located. The consensus of the Bike Route Mapping committee was to locate 'points of interest' Please download this PDF, look at the yellow routes, and mark or decide where we should add symbols for sections of steep routes, gravel or poor road surfaces, one-way routes, or other concerns. If you need a printed version to markup, please let me know. I can't print too many at our office, but I can do a few. If there is a high demand for prints, I'll talk to Frank, Hugh, Jim Ryen, etc to get you a copy. I apologize for the large file size. If you need something smaller, let me know, and I'll reduce the resolution and zip it tonight or tomorrow. I would like to schedule a meeting next week to compile our changes. Thursday would work well for me. Once our changes are compiled, we'll meet with the Convention and Visitors Bureau. As Frank pointed out, they may need several months to produce our map once we give them our draft. Soooo, #1 Download the map from the link below. #2 Contact me if you need a paper copy. #3 Mark it up with steep routes, gravel or poor road surfaces, one-way routes, or other concerns. #4 And let me know if you can meet me next Thursday evening or at least deliver your additions to me another way. http://www.4shared.com/file/202419322/680b0064/BikeRouteMap_2010_01_07.html Thanks, Derek Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device from U.S. Cellular
