Wes,

In September, when I asked you to be the Traffic Commission member on the Bicycle Board, you said that Thursday nights (the BB meets first Thursday of month 6:30-8:30 pm) were not good for you because you were working on the Mainstreet Economic Restructuring Committee on Thursday nights. If that situation has changed, I would like you to reconsider joining the BB. In the past, having our Traffic Commission member also be a City Councilor resulted in BB efficiency and good alignment with Council.

David McKain has expressed interest in joining the BB. You and he seem to be well connected. Perhaps his being the TC member on the BB might also serve to optimize our alignment with Council. No other TC member has expressed interest in joining the BB.

You can review the BB's procedural guidelines at http://bikemorgantown.com/bikeboard.php .

I appreciate your consideration and thoughts.
