AE-6: Bicycle Access

1-2 point

Goal

Promote bicycling in communities by providing new (or by upgrading existing) dedicated cycling facilities within the project Right-of-Way (ROW).

Requirements

Achieve Credit AE-3 Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) and describe the need, purpose and appropriateness for planned, new, or upgraded bicycle facilities in the white paper document for Credit AE-3. The CSS document should clearly note whether bicycle facilities or improvements are required or have otherwise been requested by the public. In order to achieve this credit, a bicycle-only facility must be present within the ROW at the start of construction or result from construction of this project. Table AE- 5.1 shows the points available for this credit.

1 point
Implement new (or improve existing) operations or technologies for bicycle facilities. This includes (but is not limited to) added signage or minor access improvements for bicycles, such as installing bicycle detectors in driving lanes or granting signal priority, adding bike-friendly stormwater drains, code-required dimension upgrades, resurfacing existing bike lanes, or adding new streetside bicycle storage facilities (lockers, racks, etc.).

2 points
Implement physical or constructed changes to the roadway structure, dimensions, or form that provide bicycle-only facilities with dedicated access within the ROW, such as a bicycle lane, dedicated pathway or bridge structure. Shared use lanes do not meet this requirement.
