Plan Implementation .................................................................................5-1 Introduction “An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” -Henry David Thoreau Purpose of the Master Plan This is the first master plan for pedestrian and bicycle circulation that has been developed for the Town of Hanover. The plan has been developed in order to: • identify policies to make walking and bicycling in Hanover safer, easier and more attractive; • identify standards and guidelines for pedestrian and bicycle facility de- sign; • provide an action plan for future improvements to the bicycle and pedes- trian network; • outline steps to promote walking and bicycling in Hanover as an alterna- tive to driving. The Benefits of Walking and Bicycling There are a number of reasons to promote walking and bicycling in Hanover: Improved Mobility. Walking and bicycling provides an alternative means for travel beyond driving. Most trips begin and end as pedestrian trips. Encouraging trips by foot and bicycle helps to reduce demand for limited street and parking space capacity. Unlike driving, walking and bicycling as a means of transporta- tion is more accessible to a broader range of individuals, particularly children and seniors who may otherwise not be able to drive. Given the broader range of ages of walkers and bike riders, safety in the design of these facilities is an important Pedestrians on South Main Street in the downtown. consideration.

  • Chapter 4 DRAFT Bicycle Master Plan
    Chapter 4: Design and Maintenance Guidance Chapter 4 provides recommended guidance on bicycle facility design and maintenance practices. It includes a discussion of the existing standards that guide street design in Bellingham followed by descriptions of bicycle facility types and intersection treatments that are new or uncommon in the City. Detailed design considerations including design guidance for travel lane widths, corner curb radii and wayfinding are presented in Appendix D. Public Works Development Guidelines and Improvement Standards Currently, street design in Bellingham is guided by the Public Works Development Guidelines and Improvements Standards, which were adopted in 2001. The guidelines contain provisions for development and improvement of bicycle facilities, including: standards signs, signals, and markings, roadway facilities, bicycle lanes, and bicycle parking.1 These design guidelines were developed based on the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and the Washington State Department of Transportation Design Manual. For local roadways, WSDOT instructs local jurisdictions to use the latest addition of the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities. It is recommended that the existing guidelines and the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities should continue to be used in the development of bicycle facilities. Those documents are not intended to be replaced by the guidance presented here; however, there are instances where additional guidance will be useful in implementing this Plan. This guidance is presented for consideration and possible integration into the Bellingham Public Works Development Guidelines and Improvements Standards. In all cases, the recommendations in this chapter are consistent with current Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance and recommendations.

    6: BICYCLE PLAN This chapter summarizes existing and future facility needs for bicycles in the City of Richland. The following sections outline the criteria to be used to evaluate needs, provide a number of strategies for implementing a bikeway plan and recommend a bikeway plan for the City of Richland. The needs, criteria and strategies were identified in working with the City's Technical Advisory Committee and Steering Committee for the Transportation Plan. Needs There are few designated on-street bike facilities within the City. One is on Swift Boulevard between Wright Avenue and Stevens Drive and the other is on Columbia Point between George Washington Way and its eastern terminus. There are also several multi-use paths – these can be used by both pedestrian and bicycle travelers. They are primarily located along the Columbia River, along I-182, and along SR 240. The existing bike lane system on arterial and collector streets does not provide adequate connections from neighborhoods to schools, parks, retail centers, or transit stops. Continuity and connectivity are key issues for bicyclists and the lack of facilities (or gaps) cause significant problems for bicyclists in Richland. Without connectivity of the bicycle system, this mode of travel is severely limited (similar to a road system full of cul-de-sacs). Local streets do not require dedicated bike facilities since the low motor vehicle volumes and speeds allow for both autos and bikes to share the roadway. Cyclists desiring to travel through the City generally either share the roadway with motor vehicles on major streets or find alternate routes on lower volume local streets.

  • Mobility Master Plan Bicycle and Pedestrian Design Guidelines
    Mobility Master Plan Bicycle and Pedestrian Design Guidelines The City of Tacoma has been working to implement on-street projects to encourage walking and cycling, improve safety, and enhance the quality of the walkway and bikeway networks so that these activities become integral parts of daily life. While Tacoma is growing it has predominantly a built urban environment, so many future projects will involve retrofitting existing streets and intersections. The city has significant changes in topography, a high demand for on-street parking, a roadway system heavily reliant on high-capacity arterials, and many other complex situations. When looking to implement sidewalks and bike lanes or other improvements on City of Tacoma streets, most standard design manuals offer limited solutions. The Tacoma Mobility Master Plan Design Guidelines are a compliment to the Tacoma Mobility Master Plan and are a chapter of the 2009 Complete Street Residential and Mixed Use Guidelines. They are designed to provide greater detail and a more exhaustive range of design options for pedestrian and bicycle treatments. These design concepts are based on current walkway and bikeway design guidelines for typical situations provided in City of Tacoma Design documents, including: • Downtown Plan • ADA Transition Guidelines • Complete Streets Design Guidelines • Open Space Element • City of Tacoma Comprehensive Plan • Six-Year Street Programs Plan • Tacoma Dome Trails Linkages Study In addition, Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2003, Part 9 Traffic Controls for Bicycle Facilities and 2009 update were also used.

In 2006, the Portland Bureau of Transportation undertook a major effort to update the Bicycle Master Plan. As part of that process a report documenting past developments and the current status of bicycling in the city was written to serve as a starting point for the new master plan. Most of the Existing Conditions Report was completed in 2007, with some chapters revised or updated in 2009. This Executive Summary is excerpted from the completed report. CHAPTER 2: BICYCLE USE By all metrics, bicycling in Portland is growing dramatically. Based on PDOT’s annual counts and surveys; the annual Service, Efforts, and Accomplishments (SEA) survey administered by the City of Portland Auditor’s office; the American Community Survey (ACS); and the US Census, more Portlanders are bicycling for more trips since the adoption of the City’s first Bicycle Master Plan in 1996.

    APPENDICES San Mateo Bicycle Master Plan APRIL 2020 FINAL DRAFT | November 2019 Appendix A. Public Outreach Overview Throughout the development process for the 2020 San Mateo Bicycle Master Plan (BMP), the City of San Mateo used a variety of outreach and engagement strategies to publicize the Bicycle Master Plan process and gather input from residents and community members on existing and desired bicycle conditions. Input was solicited during four rounds of engagement – project kick-off in December 2018, a bike tour in March 2019, proposed bicycle network review in June-July 2019, and draft BMP review in December 2019. This input, paired with data-driven analysis of existing conditions, formed the basis of Plan’s Proposed Bicycle Network and supporting plans and policies. Kick-off Workshop (December 2018) On Saturday, December 1, 2018 from 10:00am to 1:00pm, the City of San Mateo, with support from Toole Design, hosted a Community Workshop for the BMP. The Workshop was held at the San Mateo Downtown Public Library and included both an Open House in the Laurel Room with informational posters and input-gathering activities as well as a pop-up table in the library lobby with informational flyers, an existing conditions map, and staff to direct interested community members to the Open House (see Figures A.1 and A.2). Figure A.1. Community Members Participating in Open Figure A.2. Pop-Up Table with Project Information House Activities The goals of the BMP Workshop included the following: • Publicize the Bicycle Master Plan process • Familiarize the community with different types of bicycle facilities and treatments • Gather public input on existing and desired bicycling conditions in San Mateo The Workshop began with 30 minutes set aside for attendees to circulate among the various activities.
