Bicycle Board Members,

Many thanks to Don Spencer, Nick Hein, Bill Reger-Nash and Don Dickerson for helping me develop the presentation on bicycle accommodation that I was originally supposed to deliver to the MPO this week. Unfortunately, the MPO decided they needed all their time to work on the service fee so they've bumped me to their Thursday, 21-Feb meeting. The nominal meeting time is 7:00 pm and City Council Chambers is the place but I don't know what time I'll be presenting or how much time I'll have to present but I'll let you know when I find out. It sure would be nice to see a few friendly faces in the room! FYI, attached is the current version of the presentation. Since I still have almost a month before the presentation, I'd appreciate any recommendations for improvement.

Other news: our application for the WV Transportation Enhancement Program grant for the Effective Bicycling Education project was received by the state today. I asked Jeff Mikorski, Assistant City Manager, who worked closely and diligently with us in completing it to put the final application into the Document Archive on our web site: http://www.morgantown.com/bike-board.htm but it will probably take him a day or so to put it up. Again, many thanks to Bill Reger-Nash, Greg Good, Nick Hein and Chip Wamsley for working on this. I'm amazed and humbled with the amount and quality of work that they did.

Hope you're all getting in some good rides!

Frank
