By the way, Damien...a few of us ride up Jones against the one-way, esp in the morning when there is almost no traffic on Jones (Frank, don't yell at me). It feels much safer than riding up University or Stewart Street from downtown to Health Sciences. Trust me, I've done all 3 options. Can the City look at allowing bicycles to ride up Jones against one-way car traffic on that one block, similar to how Athens OH has done on S Court Street (look up 187 S Court St in Athens OH on Google Maps & do street view to see how they striped it): https://goo.gl/maps/zGkPmZnuqkt

Unless others object or it's contrary to the bike plans for that area.

Thanks

Christiaan

Subject: [Bikeboard] FY 2017 TAP Grant Options

Hello Board,

Damien and I had a meeting on Thursday to discuss bicycle-related TAP grant possibilities for this year (intents to apply are due November 15^th). This email serves two purposes: to remind Damien and I what we talked about and to continue to review those options with y’all.

In no particular order, what’s currently on the table: White Park / Rail-Trail Connector on Don Knotts, Collins Ferry Sidewalk, Mon Blvd Climbing Lane Increased Funding, Campus Connector / Grant St Trail, WV 705 roundabout tunnel, and the Jones Bypass.

Please see my attachment for descriptions of the projects and some relevant diagrams.

We are soliciting your input. Keep in mind -- the intents to apply are due November 15th. If we are to convince WVU to apply for a TAP grant or two, we need to get on that!

Best,

Drew
