So how does VRT currently operate around bike lanes?
Bike Lanes and Transit in Downtown Boise
Standard bike lane - found all over the Treasure Valley
This is how transit affects the majority of bike lanes found in place today
Standard transit space needed around on-street parking
Main and Idaho Corridor
9 Streets studied on 8 Bike Corridors - out of the 5 one way streets studied, 4 facilities placed on left side
This is how transit affects what we had in the pilot program - 1/3 to 1/2 of the block's worth of protected bike lane affected by the bus stop
This is how much bike lane is affected by a transit island or bulb-out
The protected bike lane is fully retained
The bus driver does not have to worry about crossing a bike lane with bikes in his blind spot
The smallest impact to parking stalls
VRT's official position:
We support and encourage bike lanes in any way we can
But,
If you are going to do a set of lanes on the busiest transit corridor in the valley, invest in it to get it right
