I took an action item from this Thursday’s (9/1) BB meeting to distribute the Pedestrian Safety Board’s 8/29 meeting minutes. They are attached.
Drew attended the meeting and discussed many PSB activities that intersect with BB activities. For example: The PSB is alarmed by bicycling on sidewalks downtown and has particularly asked the BB to get Jimmy Johns delivery cyclists under control. See minutes for more. Dan Shook is heading up a WVU Safe Communities project that is intended to make Morgantown safer for walking and bicycling. The PSB is planning to meet with City Council to discuss pedestrian and bicycle priorities with new City Manager candidates. WVU installed a sign in the middle of the future Mon Blvd Bicycle Climbing Lane without getting permission from anybody. Amy Boggs with the Governors Highway Safety Program funded the printing of 3,000 ped safety flyers. We need to comment on the proposed alternatives for the Collins Ferry, University Av., Baldwin St. intersection.
