Michael,
This is the type of feedback we are looking for - I appreciate your willingness to study this map and comment on our ideas. There are a few more toolkit items we could deploy for the bike boulevard (such as signage at the beginning of the bike boulevard segment, additional markings, and a reduction of the speed limit), however to your point, physical separation creates the safest experience.
We appreciate your time.
Dewberry Doesn't Qualify For Safe Bike Boulevards
From "Complete Streets"
Go to the project
The current amount of car traffic as well as the 35 MPH speed limit on Dewberry Ave. make it unsuitable for a bike boulevard to be adequate or safe bike infrastructure.
Dewberry is nearly 40 feet wide which encourages drivers to drive even faster than the speed limit which exasperates the safety problem.
This street is wide enough for parking on both sides which is unmarked and unused because all the houses on Dewberry have driveways and parking on a high speed road poses serous safety issues. All the extra space could be better used as proper protected bike lanes which would connect multiple neighborhoods to Illicks Mill safely. Painting sharrows would do nothing to make this road more accessible than it already is.
