The document discusses placemaking, which involves designing public spaces, buildings, and programming to create a sense of place and increase social and economic value. It draws from sociology and urbanism, with the goal of creating spaces that attract people and foster community. The OU Institute for Quality Communities focuses on placemaking through community input, data analysis, and developing blueprints for improving streetscapes in a lighter, quicker, cheaper manner. Examples of placemaking principles being utilized nearby are also discussed.

The NACTO guide is the first national design guide to supplement these existing standards and provide more complete guidance on international best practices and designs. Two of the treatments in the guide are considered experimental. FHWA has stated that they are willing and eager to accept experiments for these specific bikeway treatments.
NACTO, for those who are unfamiliar with us, is an organization composed of 15 of the largest cities in the United States . In addition to Cities for Cycling, NACTO has held workshops and sponsored projects on Bus Rapid Transit, Light Rail, Freight, Parking, and other issues that effect large city DOTs. While most of what I am presenting today was developed with large cities in mind, I think you’ll find it equally applicable in many smaller and regional cities across the West. In fact, many of our roadways have even higher volumes than streets in New York and Chicago, we just don’t have as many of them. NACTO’s official mission is to foster the exchange of transportation ideas, insights, and practices among large central cities, and a cooperative approach between these cities on key national transportation issues. We envision the transportation departments of major cities as effective and necessary partners in regional and national transportation efforts, and advocate for cities in these efforts.
The NACTO guide is the first national design guide to supplement these existing standards and provide more complete guidance on international best practices and designs. Two of the treatments in the guide are considered experimental. FHWA has stated that they are willing and eager to accept experiments for these specific bikeway treatments.
Cycling has yet to be as well-recognized a mainstream transportation option for everyday use. Especially for more hesitant groups such as children, women, and the elderly. Whereas existing guidelines are inherently biased towards confident cyclists, the NACTO guide seeks to accommodate the large percentage of people who are interested in cycling more, but do not consider the road safe or feel comfortable riding with speeding cars.
In the United States, cycling is already accepted as a family-friendly, recreational activity. A significant percentage of Americans own bikes already and enjoy bicycling for fun.

Two Way Cycle Track Two-way cycle tracks are physically separated cycle tracks that allow bicycle movement in both directions on one side of the road. Two-way cycle tracks share some of the same design characteristics as one-way tracks, but may require additional considerations at driveway and side-street crossings. Can be at street, intermediate or raised level.
While containing many similar items to our existing signing and marking system, this section is specific to bicycle boulevards. Pavement markings from the large 6foot wide markings in use in many cities down to using the existing shared lane marking are discussed here. Branding signing along the route, signing to notify approaching vehicles on the cross-street, and wayfinding specific elements found on many bicycle boulevard systems. Branding is very important as these networks are less visible to the public than those on major streets.
While New York, Portland, Minneapolis, and others have been early leaders in making their streets more bicycle and people-friendly, the cities of Dallas and Chicago are jump starting ambitious campaigns to rival or equal New York and Portland in the years to come. Only a month after Rham Emanuel and his Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein took office, the city opened its first cycle track on Kinzie Street. The city of Dallas, meanwhile, will be embarking on an ambitious ten-year plan including trails, cycle tracks, and bike lanes connecting bicyclists throughout the expansive city.

And a corresponding drop in injuries and in fatalities. This demonstrates that as more cyclists ride, streets become safer for both cyclists, and by extension, pedestrians.
In the US, New York City has emerged as the model for reinventing city streets under the most challenging conditions. The city has not only created an immense network of separated, buffered, and conventional bikeways- adding 255 lane miles in 4 years- but has done so under unprecedented constraints and the highest levels of traffic and street life. The city’s Bicycle Share program, due for release in 2012, will set a new tone for bike share systems in the United States, with over 10,000 total bikes in circulation at its initial release. If New York can do it, anyone can.

The Racing to a Liveable Charlotte vision is the culmination of over a decade of partnership and planning work by the Carolina Thread Trail partners in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties.
… new and improved bridges, signage and markings, and multiuse trails.
As they say, if you build it they will come, and that’s exactly what we saw. The orange bars are the expansion of the bikeway network, and the white line represents the number of bicyclists entering downtown on our major bike-friendly bridges. In 1992, we had 83 miles of bikeways and 2800 daily bridge trips. By 2007, the number of bikeways had tripled (to 271 miles) and the number of riders had quintupled (to 14,500 daily bridge trips).
Things have changed even since the 2006 study was completed. Portland was recently designated a Platinum level bicycle friendly community by the League of American Bicyclists - one of only two in the country. The bicycle industry sector has experienced tremendous growth. The number of bike shops has increased to at least 50, and one estimate of the value of the bicycle sector is $100 million value. Downtown boutique hotels have started advertising bicycle-themed packages, and the number of local framebuilders has increased from 5 to 18. New bike-related businesses opening weekly, including a bike-powered gardener, Courier Coffee (which delivers freshly-roasted coffee beans by bicycle), Café Velo (a coffee stand that collapses into a cargo bike for transport), and a downtown pedicab service. There are also businesses that don’t directly provide bicycle-related services or goods, but who reach out to bicyclists and have loyal customer bases among the cycling community. Examples: Amnesia Brewing, which has more bike parking spots than car spots Hopworks Urban Brewing, or HUB, where you can buy a patch kit at the bar and fix your bike in the repair stand outside The Lucky Lab Brewpub that boasts indoor bike parking right in the pub Black Sheep Bakery, which has a bike-thru window (and no auto access) Staccato Gelato, which has a bicycle “ice cream truck” called the Freezee Rider Yoga teachers who specialize in classes for cyclists … and much more. Every serious candidate for City Council is seeking the “bike vote”, and one is even defending the fact that she isn’t a cyclist. You’re looking at the picture of what I hope is our next mayor. A major new economic study came out showing that Portlanders have $2.6 billion more to put back into the local economy thanks to our travel savings, related to strong bicycle, walking and transit use. Portland is also attracting young, college-educated workers 5X faster than national average, in large part because of our bike-friendly reputation. There’s also tremendous local awareness of and pride in bicycle industry and culture, even among people who don’t ride bicycles, and Portland is poised to become THE national center for bicycle-related businesses.
