A Systematic Approach to Bicycle Parking Planning for Cities-Level of Service Level of Suffering

Level of Service
•Bottleneck theory of cars: how to maximize throughput
–Long signal cycle lengths
–More through lanes
–Left turn pockets
–High-speed turning radius, right turn pockets
–Pedestrian push-buttons to increase car time
4

Metrics
•LOS: vehicle throughput
•Safety
•Livability
•Economic growth
8

What can you do?
•Tools
–Coordinate signals (slow but steady)
–Restrict turns (needs network analysis)
•Planning
–Put the numbers in context: what is “peak”?
–Do not unnecessarily plan for traffic growth
–Combat car LOS with multimodal LOS; I recommend going with simple measures.
–Use other measures (queue, network impact)
•Policy
–Stand behind “complete streets” policies
9

What can you do?
•Policy
–Decide not to care. LOS is the wrong approach altogether

“BU bridge plans could spur road rage; Some fear closing lane will choke traffic”

Boston Globe, Feb 10, 2009
"There's going to be road rage," predicted Stanley Spiegel, who lives across the bridge in Brookline. "If you're going to spend public money to go for an improvement, you don't predictably make things worse. That's nuts."

Good news for commuters: BU Bridge nearly done

Although the remaining six approaches along the project do not meet the quantitative criteria, XXX does feel that qualitative safety criteria are satisfied at all approaches and that increased conflict between vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists would result with the elimination of left turn lanes along this project.

•“…because defendants’ current bid specifications, engineering plans, and related materials violate Chapter 89 of the Massachusetts Acts of 1996 as codified in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 90E §2A (Massachusetts bicycle and pedestrian access accommodation law, hereafter “§2A”). Such injunction should remain in effect unless and until defendants’ re-design, re-engineer, or otherwise alter their proposed construction documents so as to incorporate “ALL (emphasis added) reasonable provisions for the accommodation of bicycle and pedestrian uses in… [the MassAve reconstruction project]”, as required by (and quoting from) §2A.”

“You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.”

The document discusses New York City's bicycle and pedestrian programs and projects. It outlines how the NYC Department of Transportation takes both capital project and operational approaches to street design improvements. Capital projects involve full reconstruction and take years, while operational projects use surface treatments and in-house capabilities and can be completed in months. Examples of both types of projects are provided that improved safety and accessibility for bicyclists and pedestrians.

The document discusses lessons learned from advocating for a pathway on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. It summarizes the timeline of advocacy efforts from 2012-2017, which included rallies, press coverage, and meetings with transportation agencies. It also examines differences in pathway design standards and costs for various bridges. A key lesson is that cost estimates can vary greatly depending on an agency's risk tolerance and interpretation of design guidelines, rather than actual construction needs. Advocates need to push for more transparency and public input in the planning process to avoid overly costly designs.

Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization

The City of Toronto is considering installing up to seven bump-outs on Oakwood Avenue between St. Clair Avenue and Rogers Road. This would improve safety for pedestrians by shortening crossing distances and slowing traffic. It would allow for new street trees and bus shelters. Three options are proposed: no bump-outs, bump-outs only on the west side, or bump-outs on both sides. Road resurfacing and sidewalk repairs are also planned for 2016. Public feedback is being collected until January 17 to help decide the best option. Construction would begin in summer 2016 if approved.

Congress for the New Urbanism

Cost Savings for Freeway Teardowns; Replace, Prevent, Remove America's twentieth century highway building era included freeways which cut huge swaths across our cities, decimating neighborhoods and reducing quality of life for city residents. This massive infrastructure investment had devastating effects on local economies. It blighted property and pushed access to basic amenities further out. Across the Country the Federal and State Departments of Transportation confronting shrinking budgets and cities looking for ways to increase their revenues, it is an ideal time to offer, alternatives to the reconstruction of expressways. The alternative to the highway will be discussed, showing the cost savings, improvement of mobility, and the ability to foster lasting redevelopment. Cases studies will illustrate how cities can maximize their transportation dollars while stabilizing neighborhoods.

Erfurt C N U2009

Congress for the New Urbanism

This document discusses three types of freeway removals: replacement, removal, and prevention. Replacement involves fundamentally changing the design and classification of a freeway. Removal involves completely taking down a freeway structure to evaporate traffic and untangle intersections. Prevention refers to stopping freeway plans that are still just on paper to avoid needing changes later due to traffic or safety issues. The document provides examples of projects in each removal category and was prepared by an urban designer to discuss cost savings from freeway teardowns.

Old Colony Ave Case PDF

Holly Clarke

The document proposes a bike route on Old Colony Avenue in South Boston. It notes that the Boston Cyclists Union aims to connect 60 miles of bike routes through their Bikeways for Everybody initiative. Specifically, they seek to make Old Colony Avenue safer for bicyclists by implementing a "road diet" to reduce the number of travel lanes and add a protected bike lane from Dorchester Avenue to Moakley Park. Data on existing conditions show the current road layout lacks safety features for cyclists, and crash statistics support the need for improved infrastructure.
