  1. Assessing Bike Paths Evaluating the Current State of Bike Paths On- and Off-Campus Presented By Connor Mills, Jessica Diaz, Lily Wan, and Giuseppe Zuozo

  2. Background • Top Bicycle Friendly City • 10.3% Campus Population Bikes • Over 60,000 People on 2,000 Acre Campus • Gainesville ranks #2 in Bicycle Accidents in Florida -1999-2011: 30 Fatalities

  3. On-campus Bike Paths • Bike Path Criteria • Average Annual Daily Traffic ≥ 15,000 Vehicles • Determined Multi-Use Paths and Bike Lane Shoulders • Areas for Improvement • SW 16th Avenue/SW 13th Street • Hull Road/ Mowry Road

  4. As Seen in Boston, MA

  5. Hull Road/Mowry Road

  6. On-Campus Safety • Bike-Box Lanes • Paint bike lanes a certain color to increase biker visibility • Reduce motor vehicle conflicts • Case Study: Portland, OR

  7. As seen in Portland, OR

  8. Off Campus Bike Paths RADIUS • How was it determined? • 100-student poll • Majority of off-campus students live within 3 miles NEEDED PATHS BASED ON: • UF Student population density • Proximity to campus • Current accessibility to bike paths • Safety EXISTING Bike lanes + paved shoulders: 80 miles Multi-use bike lanes: 29.7 miles Most populated off-campus residential areas: • Northeast of campus • Southwest of campus

  9. 100-student Poll On-campus: 43.88% Off-campus: 56.12% Less than 3 miles off-campus: 46.32% Over 3 miles from campus: 13.69%

  10. Proposed Bike Paths Evaluate under-serviced, high density areas Drawing tool to create new layer Off-Campus Bike Paths Methods Radius • Selection by location • Buffer Student Population Density • Spatial Analysis • Point Density Analysis • By Equal Intervals • 4 tiers

  11. Conclusion: Suggested Improvements On-campus • Add 4 mi of bike paths on UF campus • Add designated stop sign/light areas for cyclists Off-campus Highest UF student concentrated areas: • NE of campus • SW of campus Add 15.3 mi of bike paths off UF campus • Better connect UF students and faculty to campus • Safer routes • Encourage alternative, sustainable transportation
