NYC Bicycle Lane and Trail Inventory 

INTRODUCTION

Hudson Street bicycle lane, Manhattan Shore bicycle trail, Brooklyn

The following document is a comprehensive inventory of New York City’s Class II on-street bike lanes and Class I off-street bike trails (see photographs and illustrations on this page). It is meant to be used to assist with the planning Bicycle Facility Classification and implementation of a networked system of on-street and off-street bicycle facilities. It will also be a valuable tool to achieve and maintain a state of good repair for the existing regional transportation system and to help prevent deficiencies from increasing for both existing and future infrastructure.

Class I: Shared-Use Path The report includes existing conditions data for all New York City bike lanes and trails collected from May 1999 to November 1999, Manhattan bike lane counts, 1998 bicycle lane accident data, and a photographic inventory of all lanes

bicycle rack and trails. The scope of the inventory was limited to Class II on-street bike lanes and Class I off-street bike trails. Bridges are a focus of another Department of City Planning study 6' 5' 5' and are therefore not included. Signed bicycle routes were Class I: Dual Carriageway also not included in this inventory, but will be considered for the next phase of this project.

Class II On-Street Bicycle Lane

 NYC Bicycle Lane and Trail Inventory

METHODOLOGY

Bicycle Lanes

All Class II on-street bike lanes in New York City were sur- veyed cataloging conditions that could effect the function- ing and the safety of the bicycle facility. These conditions were evaluated for five components; pavement, lane strip- ing, signs, diamond symbols, and cyclist symbols. Unless otherwise noted the inventory of bicycle lanes was based on the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the New York City Department of Transportation.

Pavement

Pavement was considered to be in poor condition if the road surface was rough or uncomfortable to ride on, or had potholes or bumps that were potentially hazardous to cyclists.

The pavement inventory was based on the American As- Pavement in good condition. sociation of State Highway and Transportation Officials Father Capodanno Boulevard, Staten Island (AASHTO) Guide for Development of Bicycle Facilities, stating that pavement surfaces should be smooth and clean and free of irregularities, holes, bumps, and cracks. Utility inlets, drainage grates and subway ventilation grates must also be flush with the pavement and be suitable for safe cycling.

Lane Striping

Lane striping was considered to be in poor condition if it was worn and not easily visible by cyclists and motorists, or interrupted in any way.

In accordance with the MUTCD standards, a solid white line should be used to delineate the edge of a travel where travel in the same direction is permitted on both sides of the line, but crossing the line is discouraged. Typically this line is four to six inches on either side of the lane. A common striping material is thermoplastic paint with glass beads. The AASHTO requirement for bicycle lane width is Lane striping in good condition. 73rd Avenue, Queens a minimum of four feet. Wherever possible, a lane between five and six feet should be provided along with a buffer between the bicycle and motor vehicle lanes. This buffer should be six feet.

Signs

Signs were considered in poor condition if not easily vis- ible by cyclists and motorists, if vandalized, if the message were worn and difficult to read, or if it were bent.

The three signs typically used to call attention to a bicycle lane (see illustrations on this page) should be used as fol- lows: -Bike Lane Ahead (SR-444) must be placed in advance of a marked designated lane to call attention to it and to the possible presence of bicyclists. -Bike Lane Only (SR-370) should be erected at periodic in- tervals along the designated lane. In the case of New York City and for the purposes of this inventory, there should be a sign at the beginning of every block. -Bike Lane Ends (SR-445) should be used in advance of the Bike lane sign in good condition. Midland Avenue, Staten Island end of the designated lane. Signs may be no lower than 7 feet high, but over 15 feet high they are often difficult to read and not easily visible by cyclists and motorists. 24©“ WHITE

Pavement Symbols

Pavement symbols were considered to be in poor condi- tion if worn, partly missing, or distorted, making it dif- ficult for cyclists and motorists to distinguish them.

The inventory of pavement symbols included two types; diamond and cyclist. Pavement symbols work together with signs to indicate the separation of bicycle and motor vehicle lanes. The symbols must be visible to both cyclists and motorists. The MUTCD diamond indicates a lane reserved for the exclusive use of a particular class of vehicle, such as Class II on-street bike lanes. Bike lanes must have a white Diamond symbol and cyclist symbol (directly behind diamond symbol immediately after an intersection to inform the diamond) used in conjunction with a bike lane vehicle operators turning onto a street of the restrictive sign to call attention to the bike lane.

New York City typically places two diamonds and two cyclists per block.

Bicycle Trails

All New York City bike trails were surveyed cataloging conditions that could effect the functioning and the safety of the bicycle facility. These conditions were evaluated for four components; pavement, lane striping, signs, and pave- ment symbols. Because the trails are separate from the street network, they are not bound to MUTCD requirements. The standards are more subjective and vary greatly from trail to trail. Unless otherwise noted, this inventory used the following standards to rate the existing conditions of the trails: The AASHTO Guide to the Development of Bicycle Asphalt pavement in good condition. Ft. Washington Park, Manhattan Facilities and the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation guidelines.

Park, Manhattan lets and drainage grates must also be flush with the pavement and be suitable for safe cycling. Hard, all-weather pavement surfaces, such as asphalt or Portland cement concrete, are recommended. The minimum recommended width for a shared-use path is 10 feet. It is noted where paths are more narrow than this minimum.

Striping

The lane striping was considered in poor condition if it were worn and not easily visible by cyclists or if it were interrupted in any way.

A four inch wide yellow centerline stripe is recommended to separate two way trail traffic. Solid white edge lines are also recommended where bicycle traffic is expected during early evening hours. However, it is not always necessary to have striping on trails. Some New York City bike trails, such as in Brooklyn and Mosholu Parkway in , have a three feet high metal fence to separate users. Other trails, Shore Parkway in Brooklyn for example, have Green striping in good condition. planters, grass, or trees separating trail users. There are also many trails in New York City that have nothing separating bicyclists from pedestrians. This case is only acceptable in cases of low volume and adequate width.

Signs

A sign was considered in poor condition if it was not easily KEEP visible by cyclists, vandalized in any way, if the message LEFT RIGHT was worn and difficult to read, or if it was bent.

For the bike trail inventory signs were separated into four categories (see illustrations on this page); regulatory, warn- ing, stop/yield, and greenway. All trail and roadway signs Regulatory Signs should be placed in such a way that motorists and cyclists, respectively, are not confused by them.

Regulatory signs inform cyclists and pedestrians of the traf- fic laws and indicate requirements that would not otherwise be apparent. According to the MUTCD, regulatory signs should be placed at the point where the regulations apply, indicate the requirements, and be easily visible to cyclists Warning Signs and pedestrians.

SG - 101 Warning signs inform cyclists and pedestrians of potentially hazardous conditions on or near the trail or of an intersection ahead where sight distance is limited.

Bicycle stop/yield signs are smaller than those designed for motorists and are intended for use on bicycle trails. Yield signs are acceptable in locations with low volume and speed. Stop/yield signs should be placed as close to the intended SG - 112 stopping point as possible.

Greenway signs were developed by the New York City Department of City Planning to provide a system that relates better to slower non motorized users. Greenway signage regulates, warns, and guides users, educates them about historical, cultural, or environmental sites, directs them to rest areas and amenities, and creates a unique identity for the network. The predominant color on the signs is, appro- priately, green. The signs are smaller because pedestrians and bikers move more slowly than motorists and small signs are more user-friendly. These signs can also be placed lower (between 3 and 6 feet high) than signs for motorists and are more in scale with the human body.

A greenway sign indicating that the bike trail is ahead must be placed in advance of a designated bike trail. There should also be a sign at each trail access point or path-roadway intersection. A greenway sign should also Greenway Signs be placed to indicate the end of the designated bike trail.

Pavement Markings

Pavement markings were considered to be in poor condition if the symbols were worn, partly missing, or distorted, making it difficult for cyclists to read them.

Pavement markings have been separated into five catego- ries; diamond, cyclist, arrow, roller-blader, and other sym- bols. Markings should be located at every crossing and path entrance to channel users to clearly defined crossings and to notify motorists of their presence. For mid path, pavement markings should be used when needed or about every 400 feet. On a shared-use path, cyclist symbols should be placed to indicate where cyclists should ride.

10 Bicycle Trail Methodology NYC Bicycle Lane and Trail Inventory  DATA The data is separated by borough and presented by individual bike lane or bike trail. It is meant to be used in a GIS format, but for publication purposes, the static map, in combination with the corresponding database entries, will take its place. The data in MapInfo format will be available via Zip disk and, eventually, on the Department of City Planning web site.

Bicycle Lanes Inventory data was collected for each block using a “good,” “fair,” “poor,” and “missing” rating system. In- formation was collected in the following five categories:

General data included name of the bike lane, cross streets framing the block, lane width, and any buffer width. A mid block address was noted for mapping purposes and potential street tree locations were collected for the Department of Parks and Recreation.

Sign data included condition, message, the type of mount or structure that is supporting the sign, and its height.

Pavement data included condition and description. There were several keywords chosen to represent common pave- ment conditions; rough surface, bumps in pavement, previous construction, pot hole, utility inlet, and uneven pavement.

Striping data included condition and description. There were several keywords chosen to represent common strip- ing conditions; interrupted striping, previous construction, and worn.

Symbol data included condition and number of diamonds and cyclists and whether the cyclist symbol included a helmet.

Manhattan Bicycle Count The survey was completed on October 27, 1999. All cor- ridors in Manhattan with Class II on-street bicycle lanes were monitored for a 12 hour period, from 7AM to 7PM. Throughout the 12 hour survey period, temperature and weather conditions ranged from approximately 40 to 65 degrees and from breezy and cloudy to sunny and warm.

Bicycle Accidents The source of the accident data used in this report was the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles 1998 State Highway Accident Data. It includes all bicycle accidents reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles. 11 NYC Bicycle Lane and Trail Inventory

Bicycle Trails

Inventory data for the New York City bike trails was col- lected in half mile segments using a “good,” “fair,” “poor,” and “missing” rating system. For each half mile segment the following information was collected:

General data included name of bike trail, distance from start, list of access points, total width, and, if applicable, wheeled width and buffer width between bicyclists and pedestrians.

Pavement data included type of surface (asphalt, hexagonal pavers, etc.), condition, description, and edge treatment. Similar to the bike lane data, there were several keywords chosen to represent common trail pavement conditions; rough surface, bumps in pavement, previous construction, pot hole, utility inlet, root, and overgrowth.

Striping data included condition, description, color of strip- ing, and existence of a centerline and whether it is dashed. There were several keywords chosen to represent common striping conditions; interrupted striping, previous construc- tion, and worn.

Symbol data included condition and number of diamonds, cyclists, roller-bladers, arrows, pedestrians, and other sym- bols.

Amenities data included number of bike racks, water fountains, and police call boxes.

Sign data included overall rating and condition, message, and description of regulatory, warning, stop/yield, green- way, and other signs.

S t a t e n I s l a n d 119 NYC Bicycle Lane and Trail Inventory ANALYSIS Bicycle lanes and trails were analyzed by pavement, strip ing, signs, and symbol condition for each of the boroughs.

Corresponding pie charts illustrate the percentage of each of the above categories in good, fair, poor, and missing condition. The reasons why a category was rated “poor” on the field worksheet is also noted in the text below.

Bronx Analysis Bicycle Trails

Over half of the signs, pavement and blader symbols are in good condition. Exactly one half of the striping is in good condition. Yet, an overwhelming amount of cyclist symbols are missing.

Of the signs in poor condition, many in the Bronx have been vandalized. Also, there are important regulatory and warning signs missing.

Of the pavement in poor condition, 43 percent is due to bumps or rough surface, 15 percent to debris, 15 percent to roots protruding through the surface, 9 percent to over- growth, 9 percent to potholes, and 9 percent to cracks in the pavement.

Of the striping in poor condition, 100 percent is because it has been worn.
