Bike Board: BFC Local Review () and September meeting
by Drew Gatlin via Bikeboard 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

Hello Board and observers, First, I mentioned last week that the League has devised a new method of local review that is anonymous and less of a commitment. We can choose how we'd like to distribute this link. Please check it out here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MorgantownBFC Any person who spends time in our community, including folks who worked on the application, can submit this survey. The League says we will not be penalized or rewarded for a large number or small number of responses -- we only stand to gain from more diverse input than we usually receive. They will likely use quality feedback to choose an award level, however. "This survey is to provide context while we are deciding an award level and to, hopefully, provide valuable feedback to you in your community’s Report Card and Feedback Report." Also, we've got a meeting next week as per usual. Please review the attached agenda and open action item list. We're shaking up the meeting format a bit this month -- there's less than an hour and a half of time scheduled. We will at least begin the process of budgeting our discretionary funds for 2016 at this meeting -- please think on this and come with specific thoughts on how we should appropriate the funds. Ride on, Drew

Fwd: Bicycle Friendly Community - Next Steps & Public Survey
by J.D. Gatlin via Bikeboard 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Movers and shakers of cycling in Morgantown, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you. Whether or not you filled in boxes and wrote verbiage for the document submitted on Tuesday, your past and present dedication and enthusiasm for cycling in our town gave us the content we needed to present a strong application for the League's 2016 bicycle friendly community award. This was truly a group effort! I have mentioned before that we need local reviewers to both vet the application, as well as to give the League a sense of cyclists away from those of us who fill out the boxes. If you weren't part of the document creation process and you have some time over the next few weeks, OR if you know of a few other folks you wouldn't mind asking to participate in the review process, please consider signing up at the link provided in the email below. The deadline is tomorrow at midnight. I don't think the time requirement will be very demanding, but I am not privy to the process. There is also an informal review process described below. I plan to distribute the link widely throughout the community, and I'll ask your help in dissemination when the time comes. Thanks again to everyone, and thanks especially to my last minute application stitcher-uppers: John Whitmore, Derek, Chip, and Frank. Onward and forward!-Drew _____________________________ From: Ken McLeod <ken(a)bikeleague.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2016 2:57 PM Subject: Bicycle Friendly Community - Next Steps & Public Survey To: <bikemorgantown(a)gmail.com> Dear [Applicant], Thank you again for applying to the Bicycle Friendly Community program! Now that the Fall 2016 BFC Application deadline has passed, our review process is officially underway. To confirm, we have received the following application(s) from you: 00344 - Morgantown In the past we limited local feedback to local reviewers who signed up at bikeleague.org/content/become-local-reviewer. We will continue to work with local reviewers and local advocates to gain an understanding of your community. All people who want to be local reviewers should sign up by the end of the week, August 19th at Midnight Pacific Time. In addition, this round we are trying a new more public local review process. Next week we will send you a link for a survey open to the public so that members of the public can give feedback without signing up to be local reviewers. We believe this more inclusive feedback will help us better understand your community and provide valuable insights to you through the BFC feedback it generates. Responses to that survey will be due by September 12th at midnight Pacific Time. We do not plan to publicize this public survey for each community and it is up to you to choose how you would like to distribute the survey. Please take some time in the next week to think about how you would like to distribute that survey to the public. We currently expect that our award announcement will be made in early-to-mid November. Your community will be informed of the award decision at least one week prior to the public announcement. Please feel free to contact us at bfa(a)bikeleague.org if you have any questions. Best regards, The Bicycle Friendly Community team League of American BicyclistsThis email is a service from League of American Bicyclists.

First, I want to thank the Pedestrian Safety Board for allowing me to become a part of a great endeavor! Since I’ve gotten older with more aches and pains running is not on my list of activities I can do. I’ve adopted walking which provides many of the health benefits of running. Thank you! As the director of the WVU-Greater Morgantown Safe Communities Initiative one of my major efforts will be to connect all of the tremendous efforts in our community for the purpose of keeping us safe and healthy! My purpose is not to eliminate or render ineffective any group, individual or effort attempting to improve our safety and wellbeing. On the contrary, I believe our collective strengths make us stronger. I’ve primarily coached team sports in my life and the teams I could blend individual strengths together as one were usually more successful. The reason I’m rambling on about this is because during my first meeting with the Pedestrian Safety Board I became aware that some of our efforts were being addressed by other groups as well. I’m sharing the email below because as the WVU-Injury Control Research Center and Safe Communities Initiative held the Distracted Behavior Task Force meeting others such as the Pedestrian Board had the same vision. Also, I discovered today that WVU has a program, Heads Up! WV, that appears to be pursuing pedestrian/cyclist safety. So, as I continue forward in my role I think it would be neat if somehow all of us wanting to make a difference in our community can find an efficient way to pursue our common vision together. In August I have scheduled a WVU-Greater Morgantown Safe Communities Advisory Committee. I’ve attempted to identify individuals in the community that represent focus areas in a safe community network. In September, I plan to convene a much larger meeting of all of the partners that had previously collaborated on the Safe Communities Initiative which led to our national accreditation. Maybe at that time we can figure out how to work together to achieve the same goal. I had been in Morgantown and on this job for a very short time when we went through the accreditation process. Prior to the beginning of the last day of the accreditation team’s survey of us I had breakfast with Dr. Lee Smith, Director of the Mon County Health Department. I shared with him that I’ve seen many silos, pockets of excellence in the community. We just needed to get everyone connected. He smiled and said that those were ”cylinders of excellence”! We chuckled and then agreed we need to get those cylinders in the same engine to move us forward. I trust you agree! Take care! *[image: Dansign]* *Daniel S.

Because I’ll be leaving to head to Chicago for the national conference for Safe Communities America I wanted to forward this document which is a product of meeting in July. Moving forward I will update all task force participants as to activity directed at reducing the impact of distracted behaviors on injuries and deaths in our city, county and state. We will stay on this….we owe to the young child, young mother or father that may never come home because a preventable death or injury occurred because of a selfish act. We can really LIVE without our phones because others will LIVE without us using our phones! Thank you for your participation and feedback on the development of the consensus statement! *[image: Dansign]* *Daniel S.
