Project Background and Study Area
From Ottawa Cycling Plan approval in 2008:
“BE IT RESOLVED THAT east-west routes (e.g. Gladstone from Preston to Elgin) be evaluated for the feasibility of an on-street dedicated cycling lane separated from regular traffic by a median and a first pilot project be suggested.”
Study Area:
Preston to Elgin & Wellington to Catherine

Safety + Increasing the Number of Cyclists• One of the best ways to improve safety for cyclists is to increase the number of cyclists (Pucher)
• Reason cited most often for not cycling = perceived safety
• 1-2% of Portlanders described as “strong and fearless”; 50% of Portlanders described as “interested but concerned” (Geller)
• Cities that have high number of cyclists:
• equal number of women and men cyclists
• children and seniors who cycle
• Countries with high numbers of cyclists all have segregated cycling facilities (Pucher)

Cross-section Design
• bi-directional lanes (both directions on one side) are consistently recommended against
• higher potential for traffic conflicts + more complex signals required
![Page 19: Segregated Bike Lane Pilot€¦ · Segregated Bike Lane Pilot Project Introduction and Status Update RCAC 2010 03 15 From Copenhagen Bicycle Account 2006](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f2780864623cb782238264f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Screening Criteria Round 1
• 33 possible east/west routes in study area
• Screening Criteria
• Ottawa Cycling Plan
• Continuity of Route (coverage + detours)
• Connectivity at East and West ends
• Signals at Major Crossings
• 11 routes carried forward
![Page 20: Segregated Bike Lane Pilot€¦ · Segregated Bike Lane Pilot Project Introduction and Status Update RCAC 2010 03 15 From Copenhagen Bicycle Account 2006](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f2780864623cb782238264f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Screening Criteria Round 2

Next Steps
• Outline benefits for local business and communities
• Consultation with Stakeholder groups (e.g. community associations, business improvement associations, cycling advocacy organizations)
• Determine parking mitigation strategies
• Public open house
• Report to Transportation Committee (May or June 2010)
