To Frank:
I am working on my tasks for the bike board:
1) Youth Member: From the Youth Commission Maria Panaccione, 876
Riverview Dr., 598-1059.
2) In-town member who has a "community-fitness" or "corporate-fitness"
or "community" orientation. I have struck out a few times but have new
leads.
3) Here is some late homework:
Engineering: Help everyone by
designing new and existing roads with wide lanes and enough paved
shoulder and designated specific turning lanes so that cars and
bicyclists feel like they can comfortably share the road. Design roads
well!!!
Enforcement: Enforce the shared
use of intersections and roads---prosecute those who cut off, hassle
and purposely run-down bicycle riders.
Education: Educate riders about
how to ride safely and car-drivers about how to share the road.
Encouragement: Encourage and
enable recreational bike riders to ride for transportation and to ride
more for fitness by making connections between neighborhoods and
trails. For instance a trail from Krepps Park to Star City to the Rail
Trail. And the Campus Connector between Grant Street and the water
tower on Evansdale Campus. And other connectors around town so that
those who want to ride sometimes on roads and sometimes on trails or
cut-throughs can do so.
Evaluation: Please continually
evaluate our transportation system so that free movement by bicycle is
encouraged in Morgantown and throughout the area.
Equality: Bicycles can be owned and enjoyed by a variety of
people in a variety of situations. They are inexpensive and do not take
up much space. Bicycles are a great equalizer. A variety of
transportation methods should be encouraged, particularly non-motorized
transportation for health, low-cost to own and use, and sustainability
over time.
Thanks for all your hard work,
Jenny

>From the last meeting minutes:
ATTENTION BB MEMBERS: HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT!!!!!
After some study, it seems that good city bicycling plans all contain
the following elements (or some variation thereof):
Engineering
Enforcement
Education
Encouragement
Evaluation
Equality
The BB’s homework assignment for the month is for EACH member to write
down the biggest bicycle-related problem in each element that faces
Morgantown, in his/her opinion. A solution can also be posed, but
the problem posing is most important. Obviously, many problems can
fall into multiple categories, but the most dominant category should be
chosen.
Note: This homework assignment is somewhat open to individual
interpretation. The hope is to generate some ideas for the future
direction of the BB. Please email your list to Frank by Sept. 26,
1 week before the next meeting so he can compile the lists and have
them ready for clarification, prioritization and selection at the next
meeting which is on Oct. 2.
