DESCRIPTION
Protected bike lanes have moved from foreign concept to best practice in U.S. design with remarkable speed (for the transportation world). This session will provide a fast paced overview of the spread of this innovation and the current state of the practice. Leaders of the Green Lane Project and our partners will cover the latest on designs, new research, best practices, analyze trends and share the best lessons from the Green Lane Project study tours. Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to define and identify protected bike lanes. Participants will access peer and professional guidance on how to build a protected bike lane. Participants will state the pros and cons of building protected bike lanes. Participants will identify sources for additional information on building protected bike lanes.
