Randall Robinson Reminder: Our vision for Euclid has always been to create a more-pedestrian oriented corridor, lowering the speed, calming the traffic and creating a safe shared roadway for cars and bikes.

Bicycle Network

A proper bicycle network consists of four basic types of facilities: bicycle trails, bicycle lanes, bicycle boulevards, and share routes.

Bicycle trails are physically separated from higher speed traffic. Bicycle lanes are demarcated by striping within medium-speed roadways. Bicycle boulevards are streets with low traffic volumes in which priority is given to bicyclists by traffic-calming devices and signage. Finally, shared routes – the majority of thoroughfares – are low-speed streets in which cars and bikes mix comfortably.

The first step is to map the existing network, remembering that much of it will consist of unmarked shared routes within neighborhoods. This network should then be expanded by using the three other basic bikeway types, as contextually appropriate. . . .
