Branch Avenue is perceived as a<br />
dangerous place for cyclists as well. The<br />
following key bicycle observations are the<br />
result of several site surveys to evaluate<br />
existing bicycle access:<br />
• Speeding on Branch Avenue<br />
• Curb cuts on east side of Branch<br />
Avenue for <strong>com</strong>mercial frontage<br />
increase the number of conflict<br />
points between cyclists <strong>and</strong> vehicles<br />
• Deteriorating street surfaces<br />
• No existing bicycle connection from<br />
the station to Oxon Run Trail<br />

Current dem<strong>and</strong> for bicycle parking is<br />
low. Very few passengers bike to <strong>Naylor</strong><br />
<strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong> as a result of limited cycling<br />
facilities in the area as well as the station’s<br />
location amidst regional <strong>com</strong>muter<br />
roadways with heavy traffic. Ten bicycle<br />
racks <strong>and</strong> four bicycle lockers are located<br />
near the station entrance (Figure 22).<br />
All racks are located west of the station<br />
entrance while the lockers are found<br />
south of the entrance (Figure 23). As of<br />
December 2012, no bicycle lockers at<br />
<strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong> are rented.<br />
No bike lanes, multi-use trails, or<br />
designated shared-use roadways connect<br />
directly to <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong>. However,<br />
residential roadways south of the station<br />
provide a safe alternative due to low<br />
traffic volumes <strong>and</strong> direct access via Good<br />
Hope Avenue.<br />
