Meeting
REQUEST: Public Works Department Providing Funding Alternatives for Striping Bike
Lanes
PURPOSE: The purpose ofthis Board item is for the City Commission to choose a Funding
Alternative for Striping Bike Lanes on Roads which meet the Minimum
Standards.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This agenda item is needed to identify a funding source for the bike lane striping
project. A policy was adopted at the September 28th City Commission meeting that a
road should have a travel lane width of ten feet in each direction in order for a four foot
bike/pedestrian lane to be designated.
Currently, there are two collector roadways, Winter Springs Boulevard and
Sheoah Boulevard, which have striping to designate a non-vehicular lane. Other roads
which have the 24 foot minimum recommended width include portions of Hayes Road,
Shore Road, Alton Road, Dolphin Road, Moss Road, South Edgemon Avenue, Shepard
Road, Trotwood Boulevard, Northern Way, Tuscora Drive, Greenbriar Lane, Seneca
Boulevard, and Vistawilla Drive.
The cost for striping is approximately $0:38 per foot for thermoplastic striping.
The aforementioned roads which meet the criteria, excluding Winter Springs Boulevard
and Sheoah Boulevard, represent approximately 90,000 linear feet. The estimated cost to
thermoplastic stripe all these roads is $34,200 plus 10% for designating symbols.
