Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department Advising the City Commission that the Bike Lane
Striping Program is on Hold
PURPOSE: The purpose ofthis Board item is to advise the City Commission that the Bike
Lane Striping Program is on Hold while We Revisit the Previously
Recommended Standards for Implementation.
CONSIDERATIONS:
The City Commission approved standards for the striping of bike lanes on
collector roads on September 28, 1998, based on staff recommendations. Valid concerns
were raised prior to the implementation of the striping about safety and legal issues that,
upon review, were not properly addressed in the development of the recommended
standards. In particular, the bike lane on only one side of the road is a problem.
Staff will be bringing back in thirty days a recommendation with alternatives on
implementing this program.
COMMISSION ACTION:
None required.
