Comment:
Chapter provides a recommended process for a resurfacing program that formally incorporates the consideration of bikeways into resurfacing projects. It analyzes the major components of the process and makes suggestions on how to incorporate bicycle facilities. Finally, the chapter recommends that the process provide adequate time, engage the appropriate staff and the public throughout, and make use of established roadway design flexibility.

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.
