Bike Facility Design and Creating an All Ages and Abilites Networkbikeed
Â
The document discusses the need for Medford, Oregon to develop an "all ages and abilities" bicycle transportation network. It notes that the city's existing bike lanes are often too narrow and located on high-traffic streets, making them unsafe for most adults and families. The document outlines different types of safe, comfortable bike facilities and argues that more Medford residents will bicycle if a well-connected, equitable network is built that serves people of all ages and abilities. It concludes by encouraging readers to advocate for the city to commit to designing, funding and constructing an "all ages and abilities" bike system in its updated Transportation System Plan.
Bike Facility Design and Creating an All Ages and Abilites Networkbikeed
Â
Medford, a metropolitan city in Southern Oregon, is updating its transportation system plan (TSP). Under Oregon's Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-12), the City is required to provide a "safe and convenient" transportation network for all modes of travel: motor vehicles, pedestrians and people riding bicycles. The presentation focuses on why an "all ages and abilities" approach to the development of a bicycle network is essential to achieving the requirements of Oregon law and thus provide a "safe and convenient" network for bicycles.
Panelists include: Stephen Ellerin â United States Boating Institute, Stu Gilfillen â U. S. Sailing, Nichole Kalil â ACR Electronics, Inc., and Dan Ratner â National Safe Boating Council.
As the current cadre of Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) leaders ages, it will become increasingly important to attract, engage, and even recruit the next generation of recreational boaters. This demographic is often considerably younger, more physically fit, more diverse, and driven by a different set of motivations than the generations of boaters before them. They are more interested in "boating for the millions, not the millionaires" and traditional RBS organizations will need to adapt if we are to reach them with our message and recruit them into our organizations.
Cycling and Sustainability: Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Badrjpayne
Â
This document discusses cycling as a sustainable form of transportation. It first segments cyclists into groups based on motivations and bike preferences. It then examines the infrastructure needed to support cycling, like dedicated bike lanes and interconnected paths. Three case studies on cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands, Quebec, and Victoria, BC are provided. Key lessons from these examples include the safety benefits of separating bikes from vehicles, the value of connected networks, and the importance of government support through funding, planning, and integrated policies. Challenges to promoting cycling include political will, strategic planning, and integrating policies across areas like transportation and tourism.
An All Ages and Abilities Bicycle Transportation Systembikeed
Â
The document discusses a local cycling club in southern Oregon and northern California that plans cycling events and promotes cycling. It notes that almost 60% of Medford residents ride bikes based on a city survey. However, the city's bike lanes are often too narrow and bike facilities do not meet the needs of all ages and abilities. The document advocates for building a low-stress bike network using approaches like bicycle boulevards, protected bike lanes, and shared-use paths to attract more riders beyond confident cyclists and encourage increased biking rates.
The document advocates for increasing funding for active transportation (walking, biking, and transit) in Denver to $40 million per year. It notes that Denver currently spends less than $1 million annually on biking and walking infrastructure, compared to tens of millions spent by other major cities. The document outlines problems with the current lack of safe and complete active transportation networks and public support for improved options. It proposes solutions like establishing dedicated annual funding, building out planned bike and sidewalk networks, and identifying revenue sources to fund the $800 million needed over 10 years.

Mountain bike tourism may provide significant benefit to communities, however, community planners should be cognizant of applicable Critical Success Factors necessary to ensure the execution of a sustainable mountain bike tourism development strategy which meets visitor expectations and reflects community values. The benefits to those communities which get the mix and application of factors correct may include: increased opportunities for recreational mountain biking for diverse participant populations, increased destination awareness, increased revenues, development of community infrastructure, support for community social development, creation of social capital, improved competitiveness, and the promotion of local characteristics.
For communities developing mountain bike tourism in British Columbia, the next challenges remain to maintain the building of momentum while ensuring the sustainability of social, cultural, environmental, and fiscal factor attributes. Consideration of locally prevalent Critical Success Factors and the development and execution of a community mountain bike tourism strategy using the CSFs with a structured planning framework may assist community planners and stakeholders to achieve successful outcomes for community participants and visitors alike. Leading-edge research now allows communities to leverage this strategic planning approach through the use of social media infrastructure and emerging storytelling frameworks with support through non-traditional partnerships and the tourism network system.
Cycle Simcoe: two year project overviewCycleSimcoe
Â
The following provides a brief overview of what Cycle Simcoe has accomplished since the Welcome Cyclist workshop in spring of 2013 and describes the work which will be implemented during the next two years.
This document discusses increasing bicycle tourism. It notes that bicycle tourism is an emerging sector, as more Americans now cycle than participate in other recreational activities. Investing in bicycle infrastructure and promoting destinations as bicycle-friendly can provide significant economic benefits to local communities. The document provides examples of various cities and regions that have invested in bicycle infrastructure and seen substantial economic impacts in the hundreds of millions of dollars from increased bicycle tourism.

This document discusses livability, transportation alternative programs (TAP), and safe routes to school (SRTS) funding. It defines livability as tying transportation to access to jobs, housing, schools, and safe streets. TAP and SRTS funding can be used for byways projects like historic preservation, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and visitor centers. Examples of SRTS infrastructure projects include pedestrian bulb-outs, wider sidewalks, and underground utilities. Contact information is provided for livability, byways, and SRTS programs at the DOT.
The document discusses proposed updates to a city's zoning regulations regarding bicycle parking. It aims to increase the quantity and quality of bicycle parking required for new developments to better support the city's goal of 10% of trips by bicycle. The proposed changes would modify definitions, design standards, access requirements, and quantities of both long-term secured and short-term bicycle parking. It also allows for special permit modifications to requirements to accommodate new ideas and technologies.
