NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide Webinar Series Three sessions: May 29, June 5, June 26 | 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Registration fee for series: $100 APBP members / $170 non-APBP members Register here: http://www.apbp.org/event/NACTO_Guide_Series On May 29, NACTO and APBP will kick off a three-part webinar series that drills down into the Urban Bikeway Design Guide. The series will provide training on key focus areas within the NACTO Guide and is geared towards practitioners working on the ground to make cities safer places to bicycle. Sessions will focus on intersection treatments, contextual guidance, and raised cycle tracks, with examples drawn from NACTO cities. Webinars are one hour each and take place on Wednesdays beginning at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time. Register for the complete series of three webinars—and get a 33% discount--or register for just one. Get the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide here. Sessions in the series will cover these topics: #1, Bikeway Design at Intersections Wednesday, May 29 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. EDT Safe, effective intersection design requires visibility and predictability among all street users. In unpredictable urban environments, achieving these goals can be difficult. Bikeway Design at Intersections provides an overview of the intersection treatments in the NACTO guide, including bike boxes, bicycle signals and mixing zones, and analyzes how to resolve and mitigate several intersection design problems that commonly arise. Presenters are Roger Geller, Bicycle Coordinator, City of Portland and Jamie Parks, Senior Transportation Planner, City of Oakland. #2, Bikeway Design in Context: Determining the Right Facility for the Right Street Wednesday, June 5 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. EDT As bikeway design options have multiplied and evolved, the decision-making process for practitioners has become increasingly complex. What kinds of streets are best suited to cycle tracks? When should an engineer use a buffered bike lane rather than a conventional bike lane? Are shared lane markings appropriate for busy streets or only on local roads? This session will analyze the decision-making process that different cities go through when answering such questions, looking beyond speed and ADT to consider elements as varied as context, parking, transit routes and street width. Presenters are Joshua Benson, Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Director, New York City Department of Transportation and Nathan Wilkes, Associate Traffic Engineer, Neighborhood Connectivity Division, City of Austin. #3, Next Generation Bikeway Design: Raised Cycle Tracks Wednesday, June 26 | 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. EDT While many cities have relied primarily on signs and markings to radically transform their streets, a growing number of bikeways around the country have been improved and made permanent using higher cost materials, curb relocation and complex engineering. This session will look at two facilities that embody long term solutions for city streets. How can cities effectively move the curb without creating drainage problems? What "green” infrastructure solutions can be incorporated into these new bikeways? What are the highest and lowest cost alternatives to these designs? Presenters are Wendy Cawley, Engineer, City of Portland; Jennifer Tower, Engineer, City of Portland; and Karen Haley, Executive Director, Indianapolis Cultural Trail.
