 Over three years, we are
creating a connected 5.3
mile on-road bike network

Indicate a shared environment for
bicycles and cars
Often used on low speed roads
when there is not enough space to
add bike lanes
Benefits:
Alert drivers to expect cyclists on
the road
Recommend proper bicyclist
position
May be configured to offer
directional and wayfinding guidance

Shared-Lane Markings / “Sharrows”

Designate an exclusive bicyclist space with pavement markings and signage
Benefits:
Provide dedicated space, separate from vehicles.
Allows bicyclists to ride at a comfortable speed without interfering with
vehicles in the travel lane.

Bike Lanes

Bike lane in uphill direction
Shared-lane marking in downhill direction
Used where there is not adequate space
to include bike lanes in both directions
Benefits:
