Cool Trail Solutions: Designing safer streets


for bicycling What are “bicycle boulevards”? Bicycle boulevards take the shared roadway bike facility to a new level, creating an attractive, convenient, and comfortable cycling environment that is welcoming to cyclists of all ages and skill levels. In essence, bicycle boule- vards are low-volume and low-speed streets that have been optimized for bicycle travel through treatments such as traffic calming and traffic reduction, signs and pavement markings, and intersection crossing treatments.

rails with trails The familiar “rails to trails” projects convert disused rail lines to trail activi- ties while “railbanking” the corridor for possible future rail use. “Rails with trails” refers to a corridor that includes a trail adjacent to an active railroad. Safety and liability are the greatest concerns of rail operators. However, trails, bike lanes, and sidewalks run along roadways with endless traffic under the control of thousands of per- sons without even fencing. See our “Cool Trail Solutions” gal- lery for examples of trails along a vari- ety of rail lines. The generally wide rail corridors provide room for separation of the two transportation networks.
