Thanks, Jonathan. Chris Fletcher and Ryan Simonton gave excellent presentations. One commissioner said we don't need bicycle storage/parking until we have bike lanes. We need to educate the Planning Commission that all roads except interstate highways are bike lanes. When they come to the workshop, we should ask them if they ride bikes and what keeps them from riding their bikes instead of driving their cars. And then what they're planning to do to help the City and County to achieve the Long Range Transportation plan and the Comprehensive Plan with regard to bicycling. I expect that they've all read these plans but I wouldn't be surprised if they forgot about the bicycle parts. I doubt they've read the Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan that City Council adopted 4 years ago. I also doubt that they read our bicycle storage plan or even the proposed ordinance. It would be nice if for the workshop, we could also show them how other communities have benefited from bicycle parking.
