Index to 1998 plan |
|
|
| Common requests for all 7 bicycle boulevard streets: |
| * Remove stop signs in direction of travel. |
| * Prioritize intersections for neighborhood traffic circles. |
| * Maintain enforcement of barrier regulations. |
| * Prioritize for pavement repairs (bikes are more sensitive than cars to pavement irregularities). |
| * Make sure edge of speed bumps are smooth, with curve radius greater than 27". |
| * Evaluate barrier design in light of the rise in SUV use (how many people sneak through?) |
| * Prioritize for street sweeping. |
