- Some things you may want to consider when completing the survey:
- On the 5th page, labelled "Ross Rd to E 27th Street" regarding the - Bikelane southbound + MUP northbound
- (See image at right).
- Our suggested comment is: "Add protection (buffer+ posts) between traffic lanes and bike/multi-user paths on both sides, Narrow the traffic lanes to slow traffic speeds and provide buffer.
- On the 5th page, labelled "Ross Rd to E 27th Street" regarding the - Bikelane southbound + MUP northbound
On the East side, I'd prefer to see a sidewalk with a separate bike lane. MUPs are shown to cause conflicts with people walking and cycling - not nice for people on foot - especially with the continued growth of ebikes (a good thing!) but average speeds are much higher - especially a long a utility trip route like this.
The end of the bike lane before Ross road - dumping people on bikes into a right turn lane for cars must be fixed on this section.
- Whiteley Crt to E18th -
- Option 1 provides more comfort for both people walking and on bikes. Ensure the bikes lanes are wide enough to allow passing.
- Loading zone/short term Parking pockets - expensive
- East 18th Street to Arborlynn Drive -
- Option 1 - Mtn Hwy - slightly less steep, but next to heavy traffic
- Ensure the bikelanes are protected from traffic, especially at the sharp corners
- The bikelanes should be wide enough to permit passing, especially uphill.
- Option 2 - E18th, Appin, Arbourlynn - bit steeper, quieter, could connect to E20-viewlynn
- Protected bikelanes on both sides of Arbourlynn with separated sidewalk.
- Consider connection to 20th and viewlynn (quieter parallel route to Mtn Hwy)
- Option 1 - Mtn Hwy - slightly less steep, but next to heavy traffic
- Whiteley Crt to E18th -
