SECTION 3: PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION BICYCLE NETWORK As shown in Figure 3-7, there are two designated bicycle facilities that travel through Downtown; the 7th Avenue bike lane on the north side of Downtown and the Eichelman Park path and 3rd Avenue bike route located at the south end of Downtown along Eichelman Park. While there are no other designated bicycle facilities, many of the streets in Downtown Kenosha provide a good network for bicycling and multiple additional bicycle facilities are planned. Aside from an occasional bicycle rack many areas did not appear to have bicycle parking. The Kenosha Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Plan calls for 250 additional bike parking spaces to be added in the city and to incorporate bicycle parking as part of new commercial development. This will help support a stronger bicycle network. A well connected bicycle system would be an asset for Downtown Kenosha. It would provide an inexpensive and fun means of connecting to the Downtown for shorter distances of up to 8 miles. In addition, bicycle transportation would relate well in the Downtown with its many recreational and cultural pursuits. Community members expressed concern that the existing bicycle trails are not connected near 52nd Street and 6th Avenue. An emphasis should be placed on this connection to complete the existing network and form a backbone for the proposed future system. Between 2012 and 2016, Kenosha plans to spend nearly $1 million improving bicycle facilities, which includes $50,000 for engineering and $60,000 for construction in 2012 alone. While not all of these improvements will occur Downtown, it is a significant public investment in multi-modal transportation. Existing and proposed bicycle facilities, shown in Figure 3-7, will help to create a system of bicycle facilities in downtown Kenosha to enhance its existing street network. 48 CITY OF KENOSHA, WISCONSIN KENOSHA DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN: STATE OF THE DOWNTOWN PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
