PennDOT Checklist and Penn Bike Study

[John Boyle]

The PennDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Checklist is now online. Its part of their highway design manual. This is a key interim step to help PennDOT "Complete the Streets". I call it interim because the checklist tries to justify why you should include these accommodations as opposed to the Federal Highway Administration Guidelines which asks you to justify why you should not. But the point is its in there and project managers are expected to follow the guidelines. http://www.bicyclecoalition.org/presentations/padotchecklist.htm   University of Pennsylvania will doing a bike parking/usage study on the Penn Campus this spring and summer, this is at least partly the result of former BCGP President Parker Snowe to address bike issues, this project is being headed by Mr. Dan Garofalo, Senior Facilities Planner with the Division of Facilities and Real Estate Services. University City Bike to Work Day is April 22.
