Comment:
Gives guidance and methods to allow flexibility in roadway necessary for including a bikeway in a resurfacing project. Provides a case study, design considerations, and multiple methods (land narrowing, lane diet, roadway reconfiguration, road diet, parking removal, or shoulder paving) to allow a bike lane to be installed, also discussing special needs of each and pros/cons.

Abstract:

Installing bicycle facilities during roadway resurfacing projects is an efficient and cost-effective way for communities to create connected networks of bicycle facilities. This workbook provides recommendations for how roadway agencies can integrate bicycle facilities into their resurfacing program. The workbook also provides methods for fitting bicycle facilities onto existing roadways, cost considerations, and case studies. The workbook does not present detailed design guidance, but highlights existing guidance, justifications, and best practices for providing bikeways during resurfacing projects.
