BIKE LANES
SHARROWS
Painted ‘sharrows’ - or
shared lane pavement
markings - are bicycle
symbols that are placed
in the roadway lane
indicating that motorists
should expect to share
the lane with bicycles
and vice-versa.
Where are sharrows appropriate?
Westside
Bike lanes through
residential areas can
be painted green
indicating the use of
bicycles only. They can
connect to sharrow
routes on streets that
have less vehicular
traffic or limited rightof-ways.

INTERPRETIVE
SIGNAGE
Neighborhood
intersections with high
pedestrian volumes
can benefit from bold
interventions like
on-pavement mural
paintings to slow vehicle
and bicycle traffic
through the area, while
adding visual interest
and identity.

URBAN
AGRICULTURE
Rain gardens are
landscapes in low
lying areas that collect
stormwater runoff.
Native plantings used
in them also function as
urban habitats for birds
and insects.

Residential traffic circles
require approaching
traffic to enter at a slow
speed and yield to
any vehicle (including
bicyclists) already in
the circle. The raised
circle should be planted
with drought tolerant
species.
Where are traffic circles appropriate?
Eastside
Bio-swales
are landscape
improvements that
help alleviate stress on
existing stormwater
infrastructure by
capturing water on-site.
Transformation of
parking spaces into
gathering places
can offer respite
in appropriate
neighborhood
locations.
Where are parklets appropriate?

BIO-SWALES
PARKLETS
Bulb-outs, also known
as curb extensions,
enhance pedestrian
safety by increasing
pedestrian visibility,
shortening crossing
distances, slowing
turning vehicles, and
visually narrowing the
roadway.

TRAFFIC
CIRCLES
Off road paved paths
can be designed to
meet accessibility
requirements and
provide a safe and
comfortable surface for
use by runners, walkers,
bicyclists and others.
Where are shared use paths appropriate?
Where are bike cut throughs appropriate?
Existing vegetation
strips, medians and tree
lawns can be used to
plant fruit and nut trees.
Community members
would be encouraged
to harvest and provide
maintenance.
The pedestrian
experience along
urban greenways is
vastly improved under
the shade and shelter
of deciduous street
trees. Street tree
presence may also
encourage vehicle
traffic to travel at
appropriate speeds.
SHARED USE
PATH
Bikeways through
neighborhood streets
can diverge from
vehicle routes to make
more direct connections
for bicyclists.
