Overview

The project team is analyzing 200 West / Wall Street from 400 North to 300 West to determine if there are opportunities to further enhance the bicycling experience. In the coming months, the project team will communicate with residents and the Community Council about our findings as well as ways for the public to comment on potential striping changes. Residents and the Community Council will be told in advance about any planned changes to striping.

Background

200 West is a two-lane road with regular bike lanes and on-street parking on both sides of the road. The regular bike lanes are consistent with the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. North of Fern Avenue, 200 West connects to Wall Street as it provides access to Warm Springs Park and 300 West. The evaluation will focus on the area adjacent to Warm Springs Park where there are bike lanes in the uphill direction (eastbound) and shared lane markings in the downhill direction (westbound).

Draft Design

A draft design has been prepared and can be reviewed below. Please let the team know if you have comments on the draft design by either completing the survey or sending an email (survey link and email are toward the bottom of this page).

The draft design includes the addition of a westbound bike lane from Fern Ave. to 300 West. The bike lane would connect to the existing bike lane on 200 West and would provide a continuous bike lane from the 200 West/Wall St. intersection to 300 West.

Parking changes with draft design: on-street parking on Wall St. along Warm Springs Park (north side of the road) would be removed. The parking on the south side of Wall St. (where the homes are located) would remain as-is.

The existing shared lane markings (“sharrows”) would be removed (replaced by the bike lane). Both travel lanes would remain as-is and the eastbound bike lane would be replaced as-is.
