COURSE DESCRIPTION: Salt Lake City recently constructed 2.6 miles of separated bike lanes though the heart of downtown, following on a 2-block long pilot project in 2013. These bikeways use separator curbs, planters, delineators, and colored pavement to create a separated bikeway. Salt Lake City is the first in the United States to construct a protected intersection.
This webinar will address design decisions/adaptations from national bikeway manuals, public input and outreach, business community response, and successful challenges of constructing separated bike lane using federal funds. This webinar was developed by the Pedestrian and Bicycle Standing Committee.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Review how the national bikeway manuals are used in developing a context-appropriate project design.
- Identify ways in which ADA accommodations should be considered as part of innovative design.
- Describe ways to adapt a project based on business and public input and benefits of door-to-door outreach.
- Identify design consideration for a separated bikeway including traffic volume/speed, parking, driveways and intersections.
