On-Street
Continuous dedicated 5’ bike lanes from Ridge Street to Jefferson Park Avenue. Increased safety for bicyclists with dedicated bike lanes. Wider sidewalks (on average, 2’ +/- wider than existing sidewalks). On- street parking alternates north to south along West Main Street. Provides wider bike lanes at parked vehicle locations to accommodate “door zone”. Off-street bus stop at UVA. Combined east-west travel lane dimension exceeds minimum 21’ dimension to accommodate emergency vehicles. Two continuous bike lanes adjacent to travel lanes, provide flexibility for vehicles to pull over to allow passage of emergency vehicles. Consistent street configuration provides clarity for drivers and bicyclists. Flexibility to accommodate right-turn vehicle slip lane at Ridge Street.

Continuous dedicated bike lanes for more than 50% of the study area. Shared roadway from 5th Street to east end of bridge. A shared roadway from 5th Street to east end of bridge allows for parking on both sides of the street in the West Main Street historic core. A shared roadway provides accommodations for bicyclists and vehicles in an area of demand for on-street parking. Parking more evenly distributed on both the north and south side of the street. More opportunities for on-street loading zones. The design can be flexible to allow for continuous bike lanes in the future. Wider sidewalks (on average, 2’-6.5’ +/- wider than existing sidewalks). Off-street bus stop at UVA. Combined east-west travel lane dimension exceeds minimum 21’ dimension to accommodate emergency vehicles. Flexibility to accommodate vehicle slip lane at Ridge Street.
