Bicycle Board Members,

This is a reminder that your homework from our last meeting is DUE THIS FRIDAY!  Alice has already sent me hers. 8-)

ATTENTION BB MEMBERS: HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT!!!!!

After some study, it seems that good city bicycling plans all contain the following elements (or some variation thereof):

Engineering
Enforcement
Education
Encouragement
Evaluation
Equality

The BB’s homework assignment for the month is for EACH member to write down the biggest bicycle-related problem in each element that faces Morgantown, in his/her opinion.  A solution can also be posed, but the problem posing is most important.  Obviously, many problems can fall into multiple categories, but the most dominant category should be chosen. 

Note: This homework assignment is somewhat open to individual interpretation.  The hope is to generate some ideas for the future direction of the BB.    Please email your list to Frank by Sept. 26, 1 week before the next meeting so he can compile the lists and have them ready for clarification, prioritization and selection at the next meeting which is on Oct. 2.
