BICYCLE DESIGN FEATURES LAWRENCE BICYCLE

WHAT IS A ? Bicycle Boulevards are with low motorized volumes and speeds, designated and designed to offer low-stress bicycle travel for all ages, safe crossings for pedestrians, placemaking opportunities, as well as allow for motor vehicle travel at low speeds. Bicycle Boulevards use signs, pavement markings, and speed and volume management measures to discourage through motor vehicle trips and create MAJOR CROSSINGS SPEED MANAGEMENT safe, convenient bicycle crossings of busy arterial streets. HIGHER IMPORTANCE DESIGN ELEMENTS Many local streets with low existing speeds and volumes offer the basic components of a safe bicycling environment. These streets can be enhanced using a range of design treatments, tailored to existing conditions and desired outcomes, to create bicycle GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PAVEMENT MARKINGS boulevards. Design treatments are grouped into measures that provide the following benefits:

Major Street Crossings: Safe and convenient crossings

Speed Management: Reduced motor vehicle speeds (based on 239 survey responses) survey (based on 239 Green Infrastructure: This optional element addresses water quantity and quality along a corridor. ROUTE PLANNING VOLUME MANAGEMENT Pavement Markings: Increased visibility

Route Planning: Direct access to destinations

Volume Management: Lower motor vehicle volumes

Signs: Easy to find and follow

Throughout the course of the Bicycle Boulevards design process, the City has received valuable feedback from residents and stakeholders to help refine the conceptual plans WAYFINDING AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS for these bikeway corridors and better meet the needs and aspirations of the community. IDENTITY AND STRIPING PAVEMENT WAYFINDING WAYFINDING SIGNS STREET SIGNS MARKINGS PAVEMENT MARKINGS At the February open house meetings, attendees participated in voting exercise to identify design elements for consideration in the bicycle boulevard designs. Attendees were given several green stickers for design elements they preferred, and several red stickers for design elements that they did not prefer. It should be noted that fewer red stickers than green stickers were provided to each attendee in order to maintain focus on design elements for inclusion in the conceptual design. The results of the voting process are shown next to each design element, with the circle on the left representing the February 11th meeting, and the circle on the right representing the February 13th meeting.

The flowchart below outlines the typical lifecycle of a bikeway project, from master planning through construction. The 21st Street and 13th Street Bicycle Boulevard projects are both in the concept plan stages. Within just a few months, the engineering plans will be finalized, and construction is scheduled for Summer 2019.
