INFRASTRUCTURE ILLUSTRATIONS<br />

Over 70% of survey respondents and interviewees indicated that they don't feel safe from vehicles on<br />

existing bike facilities in our community. Thus, where the bike mobility network corresponds to the<br />

street network (as opposed to off-road segments on stormwater or railroad easements), the planning<br />

team emphasized alternatives to the standard (unbuffered) bike lane that provide more separation<br />

between cyclists and vehicles. Each type of bicycle infrastructure that is prescribed in the network is<br />

illustrated in this section. Design and maintenance standards are provided by way of reference to<br />

external national standards (typically from the National Association of Community Transportation<br />

Ofcials (NACTO) Urban <strong>Bike</strong>way Design Guide) that are updated frequently and independently, thus<br />

ensuring that the bicycle mobility network in our community will reect contemporary best practices.<br />
