Bicycle Board Members,

I would like to tell the Traffic Commission at tomorrow’s Traffic Commission meeting that the Bicycle Board recommends that the Traffic Commission appoint Hugh Keirig as a replacement for Jim Rye.  Please reply if you agree or disagree.

I recognize that our first choice was Bob Roberts.  Since the shooting at Virginia Tech, Roberts was moved from transportation responsibilities to being only responsible for Public Safety.  Hugh Keirig is the new person WVU hired to be in charge of the WVU transportation and parking work now.   He is apparently the main man in transportation planning and development at the WVU now.  He has experience on a trail-bicycle advisory committee in Stillwater, OK and is willing to serve on the Bicycle Board.
