Plan Area
Bicycling in Downtown
Th planned pavement work gives us the opportunity to also add bike facilities in downtown. We would like your input on the existing and future bicycle system in downtown Boise. Please review the next board that shows the existing system and current plans. Then use the interactive maps to tell us what you would like to see.
Intersection Treatments
When converting one-way streets to two-way, mini roundabouts can be used at intersections instead of traffic signals or stop signs to minimize potential impacts to onstreet parking.
a small roundabout (inner circle less than 75 feet) has a traversable central island most commonly used in low-speed urban environments vehicles must yield to pedestrians and bicycles as well as other vehicles already in the circle
Signal
Costs
New: Up to $200,000 Modification: $50,000 - $75,000
Mini Roundabout
Costs
$50,000 to $250,000
Parking
If turn lane needed, could eliminate 1 to 3 parking spaces per approach
Pedestrians/Bicycles
Protected crossings with signal
Other Characteristics
Appropriate for a variety of locations Favorable for intersections with heavy through volumes Best along coordinated, one-way streets Can accommodate large vehicles (buses, trucks)
Other Characteristics
Best for intersections of two-lane, twoway streets Do not require separate turn lanes Appropriate for lower speed roads (30 mph or less) Best for locations with low truck and bus traffic
Whats Next?
We will take your input from tonight and develop a draft:
downtown bicycle concept two-way conversion concept list of project priorities implementation strategy
We will bring these back for review at a public meeting in late May/early June
All displays and handouts will be posted to ACHDs web site www.achdidaho.org. Comments are due by February 27, 2013.
