2. To avoid getting hung up in the details, I think the
following 3 objectives are most important:
• Separate B-P’s and motor vehicles as long as possible
• Eliminate interchanges between B-P and vehicles
• Move interchanges to the safest possible place
3. I think the best way to accomplish the
objectives is with 3 Changes:
• Move B-P lanes to the north side of CPA
• Extend B-P lanes up to Benedict Blvd
• Extend B-P lanes down to station
4.
5. BP lanes extend down ramp and up to station, between
parked cars and fence (cars would then park diagonally).
6. BP lanes extend up to Benedict Boulevard,
covering one motor vehicle lane near intersection
7. There are many examples of separated
bike lanes, where bicyclists and
pedestrians travel together in opposing
directions – here are few examples,
including narrower lanes and higher
volume than in the CPA project …

11. Two examples of barriers follow. Having
one between bicyclists and motor vehicles
would improve safety, even if it is only a
painted buffer line and results in narrower
bike lanes.

15. Project Implementation Benefits
• Avoid traffic light at Rt.9N interchange
• Avoid re-engineering of Rt.9N ramp
• Elimination of 5 foot sidewalk on south side of
CPA can be used to reduce right of way or
whatever the highest priority is
• Address concerns of residents, trustees, & DOT
