WV State Code on pedestrian rights and responsibilities
Priorities in a Walkable Community
A pedestrian-friendly environment is desirable throughout the City. But it is especially important in residential areas, around commercial centers and near community facilities such as schools, libraries, parks, event centers, and public service centers such as the court house, the municipal centers and public agencies. Each of these destinations needs to be accessible by commonly used routes which are pedestrian-transit-bicycle friendly – not simply in terms of the appeal of the destination but in terms of attractiveness in the routes which are utilized to access them. These routes need to be well connected from multiple directions and perceived as safe.
Subcommittees were established to explore specific issues and the adequacy of the Pedestrian Safety Plan in addressing them:
- Safe Routes to School
- Crosswalks
- Traffic Calming
- Lighting
The Morgantown Pedestrian Safety Board meets the first Monday of each month from 4:30-6:00 PM in the public safety building Conference Room (300 Spruce Street). Click here for an up-to-date monthly calendar of public meetings.
