Project Updates: The city is planning to paint temporary sharrows on various roads as part of the 2017 paving project. We've identified the following corridors as candidates: White Ave, Charles Ave, North Spruce, Allison, Stewart, Jones, Diamond, and Carnegie. Will keep you all updated on their potential implementation. I am requesting that the *Tour de Sharrow committee* restart discussions on the events we need to coordinate to support their installation.
As part of the support process for these sharrows, we have formed a *research committee* to develop a methodology and plan for measuring their effects on cycling here in town. The research questions are not yet formed -- if you have an interest in serving on this committee or helping to steer it in any manner, please contact beth.rota@gmail.com. *Our first meeting for that committee is this Thursday, 7am, at Terra Cafe*.
Finally, we're down to 10 voting members with *seven total vacancies*. We are looking specifically for representatives from South Park, Suncrest, Evansdale, Woodburn, North Hills / West Run, and South Hills/West Sabraton neighborhoods. We are also looking for K-12 / Youth and WVU Student representatives.
Thanks! Drew
