Attached, please find the League of American Bicyclists' feedback on Morgantown's application for Bicycle Friendly Community recognition.

As you know, the LAB has recognized Morgantown as a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community.  While remarkable in itself, this recognition is also significant when one recognizes that Morgantown is the first and only bronze level BFC in WV while LAB had ranked WV 50th among bicycle friendly states.  I'm happy to say that this year, LAB scored WV higher in bicycling education and encouragement increasing WV from 50th to 48th.  I think Morgantown can take some credit for that.

Attached is the LAB feedback on our application.  Fortunately, the Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan that you unanimously adopted already addresses much of the feedback.  Now, the City's challenge is to implement the plan.  We are due for renewal in February 2016.  As many of you expressed at the May 1 City Council meeting, you want to go for Silver.  To do so, or even to retain our Bronze status, we can't stand still.
