Purpose

Provide a safe, alternative transit route through bike lane provisions.

Criteria

• Bike lanes should be no less than five feet in width and must follow guidelines set forth by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). 
• When bike lanes exist immediately adjacent to the property the development must connect new bike lanes to existing.

OR

For projects with no internal roads rated 35 mph or greater: 

• Provide covered bicycle racks no more than 150 feet from all primary building entrances.

Verification

• Conceptual site plan identifying the location of bike lanes and/ or bike provisions. 
• Regulating plan, design guidelines or other suitable instruments.
