Next Webinar - MnDOT's Separated Bike Lane Guidance: When and How to Implement
Wednesday, November 18 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
For many, the bicycle facility design guides will tell you when to separate bicyclists from motorists, but not when to physically separate bicyclists from pedestrians. That’s where the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and their consultant, Bolton & Menk, started. Through national research, workshops with blind and low-vision pedestrians, mobility device users, and a variety of bicycle users, and a MnDOT advisory group, we’ve assembled design guidance to assist practitioners and agencies. These guidelines will help determine when to pursue separated bike lanes versus a sidepath, and when separation is chosen, detail how to separate bicyclists from pedestrians through a variety of roadway contexts. Throughout the presentation, we will discuss engaging with underrepresented transportation users, determining potential bicycle and pedestrian conflicts when no counts exist, and how a state DOT was able to coalesce around bicycle facility designs along corridors as well as at intersections.
We are pleased to announce the release of the newest edition of the APBP Bicycle Parking Guidelines, developed by bike parking experts from APBP and led by staff from Alta Planning, Toole Design, and public agencies. This new guide has been updated and redesigned to help any city, big or small, build a smarter bike parking program. The 3rd Edition is a step-by-step playbook for jurisdictions of all sizes who are building, updating, or expanding their bike parking programs.
