as supplies are diminished, whichever comes first. This guide includes all bike paths and parks, as well as recommended scenic bike routes that are color-coded to pavement markings on the paths themselves.

Signage

Currently, the City does not place signage on bike routes. When the City’s bikeway guide was developed, select trails were color-coded to match recommended tours on the map.

The City will consider signing the routes in the future. Staff also is looking at bike route signage along roadways throughout the City as a way to make motorists aware that bicycles are

welcome on City streets, to promote the existence of trail locations throughout the City, and to make local cyclists aware of Dublin’s participation in MORPC’s Regional Bicycle Transportation Facilities Plan.

Data Collection and Analysis

The Division of Police collects accident reports throughout the city. They work directly with the Division of Engineering when they spot accident trends that could be directly related to infrastructure. Data regarding bicycle incidents provide a valuable tool in assessing and evaluating issues that might related to design.
