Re: eliminating on street bike lanes in favor of a two-way raised curb separated bikeway

[Bill Sellin WAS15@]

Good luck - fighting back in Irvine as well…

Obvious hazard - transition half of the riders back to the correct side of two way street…

Requires contraflow signals or road markings to mitigate the manufactured conflicts

Electric motor vehicles (emopeds and emotorcycles WILL be driving in them at over 20 mph by unlicensed youth

Hi: I previously posted to CABO Forum (Jan 27th) about a proposal to transform Bay Street in Santa Cruz from the current one-way each direction standard bike lane configuration to a two-way bikeway 8 or 10 feet wide separated from the street by a raised curb which switches sides of the street midway along the route. This concept will be presented to the City Council next Tuesday as a staff request to proceed with detailed design drawings. While I am versed in the various issues that such a two-way separated bikeway presents, I would appreciate it if anyone can offer (1) concise, simple reasons to not proceed with such a design that council members might easily grasp and/or (2) simple graphics that illustrate some of the dangers of two-way separated bikeways along two-way streets with both signalized and non-signalized intersections along the way. Any such support will be helpful and appreciated. Thanks, Rick Hyman
