The graphic data on the Bicycle Facilities Map, is taken in part from METROPLAN Orlando's
Technical Report 4: Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.
Bike Lane- Designated
There are no Designated Bicycle Lanes within Winter Springs currently.
Bike Lane- Undesi ng ated
The METROPLAN Orlando's Technical Report 4: Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan describes the City's
Existing Bicycle Facilities as "Undesignated Bike Lane" and "Paved Shoulder" (Figure 3: Existing
Bicycle Lanes). The described facilities in both cases exist to the right of the white stripe of the
right- hand -most through traffic land, are bounded by a curb and appear to be designed or constructed
to the specifications of a Bicycle Lane. However, there are no lane markings or signage indicating
that it is a Bicycle Lane. Therefore, on the attached Winter Springs' Bicycle Facilities Map, they
have been noted as "Bike Lane- Undesignated ".
Bike Lane- Proposed
On the attached Winter Springs' Bicycle Facilities Map, the category noted "Bike Lanes- Proposed"
has been extracted from "Figure 4: Presence of Buildable Shoulder" of the METROPLAN Orlando's
Technical Report 4: Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.
Bike Route- Designated
There are no Designated Bicycle Routes within Winter Springs currently.
Bike Route- Proposed
There are no Proposed Bicycle Routes within Winter Springs currently.
