Committee green‑lights outreach for a pilot advisory bike lane near Tree Park
Summary
Staff proposed a low‑traffic advisory bike lane pilot near Tree Park that leaves parking in place; members supported a trial pending neighborhood outreach and suggested signage and start‑of‑direction instructions.
Staff proposed piloting an "advisory bike lane" on a low‑volume street near Tree Park: the treatment places bike lanes on both sides and a narrow shared vehicle lane between them so cars must yield to bikes when a vehicle pair cannot pass.
"It's an advisory bike lane: it has a bike lane on each side and then a shared car lane in between that isn't wide enough for two cars," a staff member said. Committee members noted this type of treatment requires good signage and neighborhood buy‑in; several members said parking would be preserved on the route and supported a pilot if neighbors consent.
Staff said the pilot would include posted instructions at the start of each direction and follow city public‑engagement protocols. No formal vote to adopt the treatment citywide was taken; members recommended trialing the striping and collecting feedback before any permanent change.
Next steps: staff will prepare outreach materials for affected residents, identify the exact pilot block, and bring the pilot plan back for a formal vote or endorsement.
