CITY PARK AVENUE - BACKGROUND > City Park Avenue is recommended as a Neighborhood Greenway in the Bicycle Master Plan. No crossing for northbound bicyclists Shared lane markings > Neighborhood greenways are typically slow speed (25 mph speed limit) and low volume (<3,000 vehicles per day) streets that optimize bicycle and pedestrian travel. Bike lanes with door zone conflicts, high parking utilization Plum Street: low stress bike nework connection > Currently, City Park Avenue does not act as a Neighborhood Greenway for bicyclists or pedestrians because of the observed traffic volumes (> 5,000 vehicles per day). > Further investigation of City Park Avenue will follow the West Elizabeth ETC Plan No bike facility Campus West Bennett Elementary School High crash location No bike facility, busy commercial driveways Springfield Drive: neighborhood greenway, low stress bike nework
WHAT SHOULD CITY PARK AVENUE BE? Design Option Pros Cons Support? > Requires no additional space > Low cost > Uncomfortable for people biking and people driving Shared lane markings Bike lanes > Requires less space than other options > Requires parking removal or widening > People biking closer to traffic and door zone > Provides some separation from vehicles > Would require parking removal or roadway widening Buffered bike lanes One way protected bike lane Two way protected bike lane > Vertical separation between people biking and vehicles > No transition necessary at Mulberry crossing > Requires less space than one-way protected bike lane > Would require parking removal or roadway widening > Higher cost > Would require parking removal or roadway widening >Multiple driveway crossings and conflicts Explore other alternative routes (e.g. Bryan) > Fewer City Park Avenue > Other alternatives are currently lower volume/speed streets > Not as convenient/direct for people biking Convert City Park Avenue to one-way vehicle traffic with one of the bike facilities from above > Would make City Park more of the Neighborhood Greenway > Would provide additional space for dedicated bicycle > Less convenient for people driving Neighborhood traffic calming > Would lower traffic volumes and traffic speeds > Would increase comfort for people biking > Does not require parking > Less convenient for people driving
