Hi folks, I've been talking with Chet Parsons lately, who has been involved with the Bike Board previously (as a Member?), and I would like to deliver our Bike Board Route mapping files, so he can take a look at them to help with a potential GIS analysis and suitability project he's pursuing through work that may also lead to a mobile app. He stated that if the project is landed and a mobile app is developed, he'd love to try to bring that back to Morgantown and evaluate it's functionality here.
I hope what I can dig up will be valuable for him. *Does anyone have any concerns about delivering the Bike Route data to him?* *I only see a win-win situation with a potential synergistic effect,* and it's also got my gears turning a bit for some things I've been thinking about for a while.
Thanks, ~Derek

Hey Derek! Hope things are well and you're having a good summer.
I'm just beginning to think about a framework for establishing bike routes for a project at work and was trying to remember if the Bike Board came up with any criteria when we put together the mapping. I know it was loosely based on old paper maps that someone sketched out.
I'd like to end up with some kind of a matrix that can be used to classify different corridors based on how friendly or un-friendly they are to bike use and eventually come up with a recommendation for bike routes.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Chet
