The City of Dublin plans for bicycle
infrastructure in conjunction with other
transportation modes. City Council formed
the Bicycle Advisory Task Force (BATF) in
fall of 2009 to identify potential bicycle
facilities, including on-road as well as off-
road bikeway improvements. The following
are definitions of bikeway components:
A
bike path/shared use path
is a separate
off-street path. It may be constructed
next to existing roadways or along longer,
relatively uninterrupted corridor elements,
to\and between neighborhoods and parks.
These are designed for shared use by non-
motorized travel modes and are referred to
as
multi-use paths
.
A
bike lane
is a portion of a roadway that
has been designated by signing and/or
pavement markings for the preferential or
exclusive use of bicycles.
A
signed/shared bike route
is designated
by signs along roadways to indicate their
appropriateness for bicycle travel.
A
sharrow
is a variation on signed/shared
lanes where arrows or chevrons (pavement
markings) on normal width or wide curb
lanes serve to alert motorists to expect
cyclists.
Implementation of the bikeway system
is achieved through City development
regulations and funding mechanisms as
a part of proposed new developments.
Generally, the City’s bike path design
standards specify a minimum pavement
width of eight feet. The City works to
connect existing bikeways with future
bikeways
within
rights-of-way
or
easements. An annual bike path project list
is submitted to City Council as part of the
CIP process for appropriation; additional
bikeway facilities can be funded separately
THE BIKE PLAN
Bike lanes are proposed along Shier Rings Road
Corridor to provide additional transportation mode
options for commuters.
