Green Bay Street bike‑lane options head to public-works review after committee feedback
Summary
BPAC reviewed Green Bay Street alternatives, reporting a Feb. 24 public meeting with 47 attendees and an online survey of 305 respondents; staff said protected lanes requiring curb work could cost roughly $800,000–$1,000,000 and the Board of Public Works will consider recommendations on April 20.
City staff briefed the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee on Green Bay Street design alternatives and public outreach results, and said the Board of Public Works will consider staff recommendations on April 20.
Staff summarized outreach that included a Feb. 24 public meeting attended by 47 people and an online survey that drew 305 responses. The survey results showed a majority rated current conditions favorably, with smaller shares supporting alternate protected-bike-lane options; staff included an alternative that explores Redfield Street as a bike-friendly corridor.
Staff also outlined costs and timing: an engineer’s ballpark estimate to reconstruct curb, move storm structures and create protected lanes along the corridor was roughly $800,000 to $1,000,000. Staff said if the Board of Public Works approves an option that includes sidewalk‑level raised bike lanes, that design would be incorporated into ongoing projects and then enter the capital-improvement (CIP) cycle, with potential construction timing several years out depending on approvals.
Committee members discussed piecemeal versus network approaches to bike infrastructure, trade-offs where several driveways make raised lanes difficult, and whether temporary painted lanes could be used where permanent protected lanes are not feasible immediately. Staff said the item will go to the Board of Public Works at its Monday, April 20, 10:00 a.m. meeting for recommendation.
