#2, Bikeway Design in Context: Determining the Right Facility for the Right Street Wednesday, June 5 | 2:00 - 3:15 p.m. CDT

As bikeway design options have multiplied and evolved, the decision-making process for practitioners has become increasingly complex. What kinds of streets are best suited to cycle tracks? When should an engineer use a buffered bike lane rather than a conventional bike lane? Are shared lane markings appropriate for busy streets or only on local roads? This session will analyze the decision-making process that different cities go through when answering such questions, looking beyond speed and ADT to consider elements as varied as context, parking, transit routes and street width.

Presenters are Joshua Benson, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Director, New York City Department of Transportation and Nathan Wilkes, Associate Traffic Engineer, Neighborhood Connectivity Division, City of Austin.
