Terry,
Please find attached correspondence from WVU forwarded to us by DOH. I would appreciate any comment the City may have on this matter. At this point the MPO has endorsed the provision of the bicycle climbing lane on Monongalia Boulevard. As you will observe from the email chain below WVDOH Traffic Operations will be commenting on this request shortly.
Thank you,

Tim,
Please review WVU's response to the subject proposal and let me
know how DT would recommend that we proceed. We've forwarded a copy to
the MPO and asked for local review as well. I don't know at this time
whether the City of Morgantown or the local bike advisory committee have
seen WVU's letter.
For our part, assuming that the other parties would be in favor
and that the details could be worked out, we would support WVDOH
agreeing to the bike lane under WVU's conditions rather than give up on
the idea completely. However, during our meeting in Morgantown earlier
this year, I believe you had voiced strong reservations about the matter
if WVU were to insist on preserving the occasional (event-related)
parking in the bike lane, so we need to hear from you before we draft a
response.
We would be willing to reconvene the group that met before in
Morgantown if you think further discussion by the same parties would be
productive.
Thanks,
Richard
