Hi PACers:

RE: Homework 1 Gap Analysis of Maps

Deadline: Friday  October 10, 5PM

This is how I looked at the maps:

• I primarily looked at the combined map, which shows both the bike priority and transit priority routes.  I kept expanding the maps until I could see the connections and streets.
• Have another map that shows ALL the street names as most street names are NOT on the maps! I used an old Bike Comfort Map.
• Focus on the routes that are on the maps (but if you think a major route - for either transit or bike - is missing, please list it.)
• Focus on areas that you are familiar with.- where you live, as well as other routes that you use for transit, bike, walking.
• If a corridor route is transit priority, bicyclists can ride on the sidewalks - so it's important to flag any sidewalk issues for these routes.  Think about the current sidewalk conditions for the routes you comment on - and if the sidewalk infrastructure will need more width and other improvements to make the ped route truly safe and comfortable.  When you comment on a route, add your comments on sidewalks as needed.
• The draft maps only list SCHOOLS as a key destination.  Think about what other destinations are important for both transit riders and bicyclists/micromobile riders - and add missing destinations to the list at the top of my document.
• Please add your comments to this GoogleDoc doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CPdzbQwnsdHBDUW5BU-MeInb7bU-yxgH0TKVmuTywW0/edit?usp=sharing  and include your initials after your suggestions.  If you prefer, you can put your suggestions in a Word document or an email.

Please note that I have sent you Ambar's and Eric G's list today.

THANKS - I look forward to your ideas.

Good thoughts
