Street Design Plan Options

We are asking road users and adjacent residents to share their preferences on the street's lane configuration and bike and pedestrian facilities. Both options will have similar increase in vehicle capacity with safety improvements as well as decreased wait times at the 19th and Babcock intersections. Please take a look at the two design options below and complete the short poll!

Option #1: Standard Typical SectionOption #1 Standard Typical SectionDescription: The Standard Typical Section includes a drive lane in each direction separated by a center turn lane. It has on-street bike lanes on each side of the drive lanes with a standard sidewalk on each side of the street.

Pros Cons
  • Slightly less expensive (though cost of each option is similar).
  • Less impact on existing trees, landscaping, and utilities.
  • Cyclists that prefer on-street bicycle facilities will favor the on-street bike lane in each direction.
  • Pedestrians that prefer separated infrastructure from cyclists will prefer the on-street bike lanes.
  • No on-street parking available.
  • No off-street bicycle facilities for cyclists that prefer to be separate from vehicle traffic.


Option B: Shared Use Path AlternativeOption #2 Shared Used Path AlternativeDescription: The Shared Use Path Alternative includes a drive lane in each direction separated by a center turn lane. The alternative removes the on-street bike lanes in favor of adding a parking lane on the south side of the street. It has a standard sidewalk on the north side of the street with a shared use path on the south side of the street.

Pros Cons
  • Parking lane available along the south side of the street.
  • Cyclists that prefer off-street bicycle facilities will have the option to use the shared use path.
  • Slightly more expensive (though cost of each option is similar).
  • Most impact on existing trees, landscaping, and utilities.
  • Cyclists that prefer on-street bicycle facilities will have to use the shared use path or share the vehicle travel lane with motorists.
  • Pedestrians that prefer separated infrastructure from cyclists will not prefer this option.
