Priori ze implementa on of those improvements that necessitate paint and wayfinding
signage without significant capital investment, including Bicycle Boulevards, Buffered Bike
Lanes, and other low cost/rapid implementa on opportuni es to build out the bicycle
mobility network; consider the opportunity to address all of these improvements en mass

Implement rou ne mowing and install wayfinding signage on off-road por ons of bike
mobility network as a means of garnering interest and support for the construc on of safer

Consider concrete or alterna ve hardscape rather than crushed granite or other pervious
surfaces for off-road mul -use trails that are part of bike mobility network so as to maximize
level of service for cyclists of all types and abili es and minimize maintenance requirements

When installing cycle-tracks and/or mul -use paths, if concrete is the selected hardscape,
consider roller compacted concrete rather than expansion joint installa on in order to
enhance ride quality for cyclists and enhance durability; if expansion joint installa on is to be
used, consider maximizing the interval between expansion joints and installing smaller
tooled joints at more frequent intervals (~12') to control cracking
Update speed limits on all streets that are designated Bicycle Boulevards (per this Plan) to 20
MPH; sign for local traffic only (in addi on to implemen ng other best prac ces detailed in
Infrastructure Illustra ons sec on of this Plan)
Where traffic calming is installed on designated Bicycle Boulevards, consider using speed
cushions that include cutouts for bicycle traffic; cutouts may also be spaced to match axel
width of emergency vehicles
Where Bicycle Boulevards include mul ple signalized intersec ons, such as on Mesquite St.
in downtown Corpus Chris , consider se ng signal ming coordina on to match an cipated
bicycle progression speed

Where Bicycle Boulevards are currently unstriped, preserve the unstriped condi on to
encourage flexibility in the behavior of drivers and cyclists, as drivers tend to be less inclined
to preserve a safe passing radius if doing so involves crossing a center lane

Undertake a corridor study of Ocean Drive that builds upon the 2011 City of Corpus Chris
Integrated Community Sustainability Plan and this Bicycle Mobility Plan to iden fy and
evaluate specific bicycle infrastructure treatments to capitalize on this unique corridor

As a strategy for expanding the func onal reach of the bike mobility network, when roads
that are outside the bike mobility network--par cularly within 1/4 mile and they are subject
to reconstruc on, wherever ROW widths allow, install mul -use paths that are 8' or wider,
preferably on both sides, in lieu of sidewalks with signage that indicates the poten al for
shared use by cyclists and pedestrians

When reconstruc ng roadways within bike mobility network, review exis ng driveway
configura ons (width, placement, frequency) as a standard part of design process to iden fy
and eliminate unnecessary conflict points with cycling infrastructure
