Bikeway Design

SLIDE 16

Some Criteria for Selecting Streets

  • Existing and planned bike facilities.
  • Motor vehicle traffic volumes and speeds.
  • Route recommendations received at community outreach events.
  • Feasibility of adding bike facilities into each corridor (considering

things like street width, intersection design, transit, and curb zone uses).

  • Crossings of barriers formed by freeways, railways, and waterways.
  • Creation of direct routes and network density.

Protected Bikeways and Transit

Challenges:

  • Bus has plugged bike lane.
  • Where to drop protection?

Even without on-street parking, this bus would not make it.

  • Bus passenger loading isn’t

at curb.

  • Back of bus remains in

travel lane.
