Frank -
The meeting last night with Damien, Bill A, Mark Wise, Colin, Ella (MRTC),
and a couple of Colin's MTB friends went quite well. We've decided to
pursue two projects:
- Skills park for young riders - Colin & Mark will look at
BOPARC/Positive Spin space as an option and pursue funding from Specialized
2) Connecting White Park with the Mon River trail by improving & extending
the trail section from White Park trails with switchbacks down to Don
Knotts Blvd at the intersection in front of Med Express/Sargasso. We are
going to submit a letter of intent Nov 15th for MAP-21 Transportation
Alternatives money (minimum $50,000) and partner with the DOH to install a
user-actuated push button signal on the east side of Don Knotts to stop
traffic on Don Knotts. Final proposal has to go in Feb 15, 2013.
Further, Bill Austin is going to have the new MPO employee create an up to
date map of all formal/informal off-road trails in the Morgantown area
based on existing maps that Ella, Greg Good, Nick, and others have and by
hosting discussions with MTB riders. We hope to use this mapping & project
#2, above, to apply for a much larger grant in early 2014 to do some
building to connect all trails, potentially all the way out to Coopers!
Some great potential for those that love mountain biking and hiking/trail
running.
Colin, Damien, or Bill A could describe some of this activity if they'll
be in attendance at the BB meeting. Is it scheduled for Thurs, Nov 1? I may
be able to sneak out to attend and provide this update.

Bicycle Board Members,
Please find attached a draft monthly report to the Traffic Commission and
a draft agenda for next week's BB meeting. Please review these documents
and give me your concurrence or your recommendations for changes.
One item in the report to TC is that the City Manager is planning to
review Bicycle Plan progress at the November 27 City Council Committee of
the Whole. Do you think we should attend?
In the agenda, I've allocated 75 minutes to topic #7 which is for leaders
to get help from the BB on the projects that we listed on the flip charts
at the last two meetings. To proceed on topic #7 in an orderly fashion, if
you're one of the leaders that wants to talk with the BB about your
project, please let me know by Monday how much time you want and the
desired outcome. I will then issue a revised agenda with topic #7 divided
up to give each of you a defined slot.
You'll also notice that topic #6 is selection of new BB members. We have
5 vacancies: 1 City; 2 Greater Morgantown; 1 WVU Cycling; 1 Youth
Commission. It would be nice if all candidates for membership attended the
meeting.
