  • Designating Scenic Bikeways: a Framework for Rural Road Owners
    Designating Scenic Bikeways: A Framework for Rural Road Owners Publication No. FHWA-FLH-19-004 June 2019 FOREWARD The Federal Lands Highway (FLH) promotes development and deployment of applied research and technology applicable to solving transportation related issues on Federal Lands. The FLH provides technology delivery, innovative solutions, recommended best practices, and related information and knowledge sharing to Federal Agencies, Tribal Governments, and other offices within the FHWA. The objective of this project was to develop a resource to help road owners navigate the Oregon Scenic Bikeway Designation Process. In addition to helping road owners in Oregon, it was the intent of the project that the resource be useful to road owners across the country who are similarly involved with bikeway designation. The resulting Designating Scenic Bikeways: A Framework for Rural Road Owners is a toolkit intended to assist land management agencies, road owners, and proponent groups to communicate and work together in a positive way to develop bikeways. The project included a literature review covering rural road safety, bikeway designation, and liability of bikeway designation. A Technical Advisory Committee guided the work and participated in three bicycle road safety site visits in Oregon to better understand specific issues facing road owners.

  • Lemon Grove Bikeway Master Plan Update
    LEMON GROVE BIKEWAY MASTER PLAN UPDATE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA06-001 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2006 Prepared for: City of Lemon Grove Prepared by: Alta Planning + Design 1. INTRODUCTION The Lemon Grove Bikeway Master Plan provides a blueprint for making bicycling an integral part of daily life in Lemon Grove. After nearly a decade of bicycle facility development guided by the Bicycle Facilities Sub-Element of the General Plan, Lemon Grove now has a solid network of primary bikeways that provide connections to destinations throughout the city as well as links to the regional bikeway system. This Bikeway Master Plan seeks to build upon this foundation– to enhance and expand the existing bikeway network, connect gaps, address constrained areas, provide for greater local and regional connectivity, and encourage even more residents to bicycle. The Bikeway Plan provides for an updated system of bike lanes, bike routes and bike paths, identifies necessary support facilities such as bicycle parking, and recommends a variety of programs to allow for safe, efficient and convenient bicycle travel within Lemon Grove and connecting to regional destinations. The Plan covers the “4 E’s” of planning for bicyclists – Engineering, Education, Encouragement, and Enforcement – recognizing that an approach that draws from all 4 E’s will be the most successful in improving safety and increasing the number of Lemon Grove residents bicycling for work, shopping, school, and recreation. 1.1. WHY BICYCLING? The bicycle is a low-cost and effective means of transportation that is quiet, non- polluting, extremely energy-efficient, versatile, healthy, and fun. Bicycles also offer low-cost mobility to the non-driving public.

  • World Transport Policy & Practice Volume 7, Number 3, 2001
    World Transport Policy & Practice ISSN 1352-7614 Volume 7, Number 3, 2001 Mission Statement World Transport Policy & Practice is a quarterly journal which provides a high quality medium for original and creative work in world transport. WTPP has a philosophy based on the equal importance of academic rigour and a strong commitment to ideas, policies and practical initiatives that will bring about a reduction in global dependency on cars, lorries and aircraft. WTPP has a commitment to sustainable transport which embraces the urgent need to cut global emissions of carbon dioxide, to reduce the amount of new infrastructure of all kinds and to highlight the importance of future generations, the poor, those who live in degraded environments and those deprived of human rights by planning systems that put a higher importance on economic objectives than on the environment and social justice. WTPP embraces a different approach to science and through science to publishing. This view is based on an honest evaluation of the track record of transport planning, engineering and economics. All too often, these interrelated disciplines have embraced quantitative, elitist or mechanistic views of society, space and infrastructure and have eliminated people from the analysis. To help it to reach a wide readership, encompassing advocates and activists as well as academics and advisers, WTPP is available free of charge as PDF files on the internet at http://www.ecoplan.org/wtpp/ ‘GRAPHICS-FREE’ VERSION The complete version, with photographs, correct page numbering, etc., is available for free download at our website.
