SUMMARY OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN
ADVISORY BOARD ACTION

Subject:

Northern Area Task Force Report

Meeting Date:

September 25, 2007

Recommendation:

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board made the following recommendations:

-         Replace the illustration on p12 with an illustration from the NC86 bicycle and pedestrian safety study that shows landscape between vehicle travel lanes and the sidewalk (this would reflect the task force recommendations)

-         Add an objective under the pedestrian and bicycle mobility section: Connect bicycle facilities with greenways on the Greenways Master Plan where possible.

By Consensus: Jed Dube, Perri Morgan, Brian Decker, Tab Combs,
Doug MacLean, Doug Wilson, Tim Auble and Linda Gaines

Comment:      Some Board members felt the Town should consider providing bicycle facilities separated from the road way by a curb in order to promote biking among young, novice, or cautious bikers.
