1 G BLB G shared-use paths dedicated places for people on foot and on bicycles, separated from vehicles Figure SHRD-US PTHS are designed for many types of users- recreational cyclists moving at 10+ mph, young families on bicycles, and pedestrians such as joggers, parents with strollers, or people with dogs. Managing the many speeds of users is frequently a challenge. Whenever possible, these should be a minimum of 8 feet wide with 2 feet of graded shoulder on each side. Generally, 12 feet of paved path is preferred. Wider pavement can be utilized in high-use areas such as the ferry landing or popular locations along the Bayshore Bikeway. Where significant numbers of pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, and other users use the paths, either wider pavement or separate walkways help to eliminate conflicts. Most important in designing shared use paths is good design HIGHWY DSIGN MNUL December 30, 2015 Two-Way Class I Bikeway (Bike Path) of intersections where they cross streets, such as at the entrance to the Cays.

2 bicycle lanes dedicated places for people on bicycles BICYCL LNS are designed to provide people on bikes with a clearly-marked facility in which to ride. Ideally, bike lanes are located on streets wide enough to accommodate the 5-6 feet needed for each direction of the dedicated bike lane, plus any additional painted buffer area that may be feasible, typically 3 feet for each direction. Recent advances in bike lane design allow for City staff to design and build additional protections for people on bikes at intersections, particularly in areas with a great deal of turning vehicles or other potential challenges, such as along range ve. xisting Bike Lane on Sixth adjacent the Library lameda is wide enough to accommodate bike lanes, and would provide a direct, dedicated facility for confident cyclists that connects both sides of the island, and would benefit from the new traffic signal on Fourth.

3 neighborhood greenways safer, calmer, and more appealing ways to get around NIGHBRHD GRNWYS are streets with low motorized traffic volumes and speeds, designated and designed to give people walking and biking along them travel priority. XISTING TYPICL STRT They use signs, pavement markings, and speed and volume management measures to discourage through trips by motor vehicles and create safe, convenient bicycle crossings of busier arterial streets. When connecting people and the places they visit, they make excellent routes for students, families on bicycles, and anyone traveling less than ~10mph. successful greenway network should include some or all of the following design elements: PTNTIL S NIGHBRHD GRNWY (simulation is for illustrative purposes early) Selecting a direct and continuous street, rather than a circuitous route that winds through neighborhoods along several streets. Neighborhood greenways work best on a street grid along streets with slow vehicle speeds (25mph or less) and low volumes (~2000 cars/day or less). Selecting streets that have parallel higher-level streets can prevent diversion to other residential streets. Placing motor vehicle traffic diverters at key intersections to reduce through motor vehicle traffic (diverters are designed to allow through bicyclist and pedestrian movement) Turning stop signs towards intersecting streets, so bicyclists can ride with few interruptions and pedestrians can cross confidently Replacing some stop-controlled intersections with mini-traffic circles and mini-roundabouts to reduce the number of stops cyclists have to make. NRBY XMS F NIGHBRHD GRNWYS Designing landscaped curb extensions to slow vehicles, shorten crossing distances for pedestrians, and improve aesthetics and the treatment of stormwater. Placing traffic-calming devices to lower motor vehicle traffic speeds. Placing wayfinding and other signs or markings to route people to key destinations, to guide them through difficult situations, and to alert motorists of the presence of bicyclists and pedestrians. Where the neighborhood greenway crosses high-speed or high-volume streets, providing crossing improvements such as signals, where a traffic study has shown that a signal will be safe and effective. To ensure that bicyclists can activate any signals, video or loop detection should be installed in the pavement where people ride. If appropriate, median refuges wide enough to provide a refuge and with an opening wide enough to allow people walking and biking to pass through. Streets with more car traffic and transit service can receive landscaped curb extensions, crosswalks and roundabouts.

4 G BLB G neighborhood greenways where should these be considered? City staff, project consultants, and the Stakeholder dvisory Committee consider the streets below to be excellent candidates for neighborhood greenways due to their low speeds, few cars, and ability to connect people to places.

5 G BLB G bicycle routes shared lanes for people on bicycles BICYCL RUTS are designed to provide connections for people on bikes where there is either inadequate width to accommodate cyclists in a dedicated facility of their own like bike lanes or bike paths, or where lower-impact visual treatments may be preferred. They also serve to educate people in cars that people on bikes may also be using the full travel lane. BICYCL RUTS are suitable on streets with low motor vehicle speeds or traffic volumes. There are no specific width standards for these facilities. Most are fairly narrow; they are simply the streets as constructed, with wayfinding or shared-lane markings Sharrow examples Credits: Model Design Manual for Living Streets improvements.
