February's webinar on cycle tracks general design principles and practices, drawing from European experience. Examples from Cambridge, Mass., Montreal, New York City, and Portland, Ore., will be cited throughout.
Specifically, this webinar will cover:
• Definition of a cycle track
• Examples of means of separation from traffic and from pedestrians
• Space needs for one-way and two-way cycle tracks
• Intersection treatments
• Discussion of "false sense of security" studies
• What AASHTO says about cycle tracks, and other sources of design guidance
• North American cities’ experience with design, operations and safety
Please note the extended, 90-minute length of this webinar. Because this is a broad topic of great interest to bike/ped engineers and planners, this webinar will include additional time for the question-and-answer period.
Webinar presenters are:
Rob Burchfield, City Traffic Engineer, Portland, OR, Bureau of Transportation
Dr. Peter Furth, Professor of Civil Engineering, Northeastern University
Hayes Lord, NYC Department of Transportation
Cara Seiderman, Transportation Program Manager, Environmental & Transportation Planning Community Development Department, Cambridge, MA
