Chapter 8| Prioritization and Implementation Plan 8.1.6.2 Wayfinding Signage Wayfinding signage will enhance the practicality and user-friendliness of Greenville’s bikeway network. Decision point and confirmation signs will boost bicyclists’ confidence in using bikeway facilities, attract new users, and inform bicyclists of key connectors and access points. This Plan recommends that development of the wayfinding signage program begin within twelve months of adoption of the Plan. The primary bike route network of this Plan provides important cross-town connections and bypass routes for major arterials. The primary bike routes identified on the proposed network map are first-tier priority routes for installation of wayfinding signage. 8.1.6.3 Bicycle Parking Bicycle parking should be expanded as the bikeway network is expanded. Requests by the general public provide an appropriate gauge of bicycle parking needs and unmet demand. This Plan recommends that the City of Greenville prioritize bicycle parking locations requested through Google’s dynamic online mapping service and documented here: tinyurl.com/GreenvilleBikeRacks. The results of the public outreach process conducted for this Plan reinforce the list of bicycle parking locations requested online. Priority locations for short-term and long-term bicycle parking identified in the public outreach process are shown in Table 8.1-8.

Priority locations for bicycle parking. The Plan identifies gaps in the connectivity of the bike route network due to dead end streets, development patterns, natural barriers, or other features. As the bike route network is developed, the City of Greenville should prioritize and fund the development of connector trails or roadway segments in order to complete the network. Key gaps in the bike route system are listed in Table 8.1-9.

Such planning and design would include access management approaches to limit the number and spacing of driveways and turning locations; land use policies to facilitate more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly development patterns; connectivity improvements to provide additional parallel route options; travelway designs that are more appropriate to an urban context; and speed reduction measures for motor vehicle travel. This plan recommends that the City continue to coordinate with SCDOT and GPATS to prioritize, fund, and implement improvements for on these corridors to make them safer and more accessible to all modes of travel, including bicycles. At least one major corridor study and implementation project should be the focus of City and partner agency efforts every two years. Additional planning and implementation opportunities may occur more frequently as resurfacing or other local, state, and/or private investment initiatives occur on these corridors. The corridors recommended for further planning and design and/or implementation include: • Augusta Street (High priority bikeway corridor per public input and analysis, including collision data analysis) • Woodruff Road (Corridor study complete; needs detailed plans for bikeway improvements) • Wade Hampton Boulevard (Draft corridor streetscape concepts completed) • Pelham Road (SCDOT resurfacing project upcoming for portion of the corridor) • Roper Mountain Road (SCDOT resurfacing project upcoming for portion of the corridor) • Pleasantburg Drive (Corridor study complete; needs detailed plans for bikeway improvements) • Church Street/Mills Avenue Corridor (portions of Church St funded for redesign) • Laurens Road/US 276 (High priority bikeway corridor per public input and analysis) • Poinsett Highway • Buncombe Road/Pete Hollis Boulevard Alta Planning + Design |8-19
